How to have a common value for a column using sql loader

Hi Have a sql loader file which looks like below. But I am not getting how insert the same value for the column in all rows.
id,
crt_user_id
BEGINDATA
1;"system"
2;"system"
3;"system"
So, instead of entering the crt_user_id as system in all rows, can we place the value at the top after the column name?

Thanks Srini. your hint/suggestion helped me in finding the solution.
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
BADFILE './TEST.BAD'
DISCARDFILE './TEST.DSC'
APPEND INTO TABLE TEST_TABLE
Fields terminated by ";" Optionally enclosed by '"'
ID,
crt_user_id CONSTANT 'SOME CONSTANT VALUE'
BEGINDATA
1
2
3
so by using CONSTANT key word, we can avoid tying the same value in the data

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

How to have a unique value for each record??

could any 1 help me out in this...
I want to have a column name 'Order No' which should be unique.
How to generate a unique value for each record.??

could any 1 help me out in this...
I want to have a column name 'Order No' which should be unique.
How to generate a unique value for each record.?? If you are using SQL PLUS to create the table try something like
this:
CREATE TABLE ORDER_TEST (
ORD_NO NUMBER (8) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ORDERDATE DATE,
CUSTID NUMBER (8) NOT NULL,
SHIPDATE DATE,
TOTAL NUMBER (8,2) CONSTRAINT TOTAL_ZERO CHECK
(TOTAL >= 0),
CONSTRAINT ORD_FOREIGN_KEY FOREIGN KEY (CUSTID) REFERENCES
CUSTOMER (CUSTID),
CONSTRAINT ORD_UNIQUE UNIQUE (ORD_NO)
-- or a simpler table example
DROP TABLE ORDER_TEST;
CREATE TABLE ORDER_TEST (
ORD_NO NUMBER (8),
ORDERDATE DATE,
CUSTID NUMBER (8) NOT NULL,
SHIPDATE DATE,
TOTAL NUMBER (8,2) CONSTRAINT TOTAL_ZERO CHECK
(TOTAL >= 0),
CONSTRAINT ORD_UNIQUE UNIQUE (ORD_NO)
note: ORD_NO can also be a primary key
If you are doing the INSERT during runtime from a form first
create a sequence in SQL PLUS to handle the ORD_NO value:
Create SEQUENCE ORDERNO_UNIQUEVAL_sqnc
START WITH 000001
NOMAXVALUE
NOCACHE;
and reference it as the ORD_NO parameter in your INSERT
statement:
ORDERNO_UNIQUEVAL_sqnc.NEXTVAL
note: to maintain data integrity you must use the sequence
everytime you insert a new order to table. To start a new
sequence drop the sequence and re-create it with whatever "START
WITH" value you want.
Hope this helps

How to have more than one condition on same column --- using SQL Loader

Hi All,
I am stuck with SQL Loader..
How do I filter records before loading in the table using when clause..
i should load data only when
field1 = 'AC' or 'VC'
field2 is NULL
i used various combinations in when clause like
a) when field1='AC' or field1='VC' and field2 = BLANKS
b) when (field1='AC') and (field2 = BLANKS )
& similar...
In all the cases I tried I could not implement OR condition with field1 and null condition with field2
but my main concern is can we use OR or IS NULL things in when clause of SQL Loader..
is it possible to check this anywhere??
any alternate solution u could suggest??
Thanks

Ok I'll try that, although I did try it earlier when I had iTunes 5.xx loaded, I think.
As to size of playlists, I have a master (900 songs) that defines what will fit onto the ipod , I then generate all the others as subsets of the master (not of the library)- hence I know they will all fit
Can you also clarify something for me: the dialogue box we are discussing is intended, I think, so that one can set the automatic synching of certain playlists between the PC & the ipod. Is that the only way one can select other playlists to go to the ipod - i.e. as static once-offs, not synchronised ?
Apple' docs, I think, are poor in this regard - they assume most ipods are bigger then the users song library and they gloss over the details of this alternate mode of playlist synching.
Thanks - Nick

How to get only updated records for a column using loading type INSERT

Hi,
Good morning all,
I have source1 containg 3 columns bill_cd,bill_desc,bill_date and
source2 has the columns bill_cd,bill_key,source_id.
My target has the columns bill_cd,bill_date,bill_desc .
Now the requirement is, bill_cd in target should not repeated when we run the mapping more than one thime. it should get only updated records not the previous records using only INSERT Loading type(for target) not to use update/insert.
How can we achieve this logic in mapping level.
Anybody Please give me some solution immediately.
Thanks in Advance,
Siv

Thanks Herzog for your reply,
Here bill_cd is not unique. Yes,I want only new records using INSERT as loading type. Suppose when the map runs for the first time, bill_cd is loaded with values 1 to 5.
Now, in the source I have got new records 6 to 10 for bill_cd and when I run the mapping again I need to get only records for bill_cd from 6 to 10 using INSERT as loading type.
Is it possible to achieve this at mapping level?
Regards,
Siv.

Can we implement the functionality similar to ROW_NUMBER() in generic/common way for all databases using SQL ?

In my project,i am allowing user to select database of his choice from given options & i need to write queries considering
all these optional databases. So as per my one of requirement,is there any way to achieve generic functionality similar to ROW_NUMBER() in MSSQL ?

First run this and check the db version
SELECT @@VERSION
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'db name'
If version is above 2012 and compatibility level is above 80 ROW_NUMBER will work.
Otherwise you need to use this

How does one give out enough spaces for a column in SQL report ?

How does one reserve enough spaces for a column in SQL report ?
Ex: 2 columns defined as the following
projectNo varchar2(10)
ProjectName varchar2(50)
When create an sql report, the report heading will show below. If my project name is " Tire Strength Test At Site R987654" . I need to get it to show in one line since it was defined as varchar2(50)
projectNo     ProjectName
A0001         Tire Strength
              Test At Site
              R987654 There got to be a way to get around here . Thanx in advance.

I noticed the CSS Style settings only seem to work if using a "Standard Report Column". Unfortunately I have the need to define some report columns where undesired wrapping occurs as "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)" and tried to avoid wrapping, but no luck - is there a way around this (other than performing the report query using a huge DECODE clause, which somewhat renders the LOV useless except for data entry)?
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Holger

How to load date with time zone using sql loader???

Hi All,
How to load following value in the table using SQL loader.
[11/Jan/2006:15:20:14 -0800]
What should be the datatype of the column in the table. I have tried with "timestamp with local time zone", but unable to load the record using sql loader. What should be the format string in the loader control file to load this type of record.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Sameer

Try something like this in your control file:
mycol char "TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ(mycol, 'DD/MON/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS TZH:TZM')"

Hi, how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array???????

Hi, I would like to know how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array. I wanted to make some modification on the element of the array at a certain position. how can i do that?
At the moment (as per attachhment), the value of the new row and column will be inserted by the user. But now, I want to do some coding that will automatically insert the new value of the row and the column ( I will use the formula node for the programming). But the question now, I don't know how to split the row and the column. Is it the value of i in the 'for loop'? I've tried to link the 'i' to the input of the 'replace subset array icon' , but i'm unable to do it as i got some error.
Please help me!
For your information, I'm using LABView 7.0.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.Sorry for the confusion.
I manage to change the array element by changing the row and column value. But, what i want is to allow the program to change the array element at a specified row and column value, where the new value is generated automatically by the program.
Atatched is the diagram. I've detailed out the program . you may refer to the comments in the formula node. There are 2 arrays going into the loop. If a >3, then the program will switch to b, where if b =0, then the program will check on the value of the next element which is in the same row with b but in the next column. But if b =45, another set of checking will be done at a dufferent value of row and column.
I hope that I have made the problem clear. Sorry if it is still confusing.
Hope you can help me. Thank you!!!!

Hi Patricia,
is it working for restricted key figure and calculated key figure ??
Note Number Fisc Period Opening Days
1 1 2
2 1 3
3 1 0
because I have other restriction, so I create two restricted key figure..
RK1 with restriction : Total Number of Note,
RK2 with restriction : Total Opening Days ,
then I Created a calculated key figure, average opening days in a period
CK1 = RK2 / RK1..
in this case, I am not sure if it will work or not..
for example, during RK2 calclation, it might be this   2+3 = 5, the line with 0 will be ignored..
during RK1 calcualtion, it might be 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. ---> Not sure in this case, the line with opening days 0 will be calculated or not..
could you please confirm..
