How to load an Excel sheet into Oracle via SQL* Loader

Hallo!I am trying to load an Excel spreadsheet into an Oracle 10g database via SQL*Loader.
How do I achieve this via Oracle Enterprise Manager?
Please give a detailed explanation especially covering the locations of the control file,infile,bad file etc for Oracle 10g running in both Windows and Linux platforms.
Thanks.

This has nothing to do with Oracle Enterprise Manager
SQL Loader is command line and it needs to be installed with SQL PLUS (The wrong install type will not have it)

How to store an excel sheet in oracle database

How can I store excel sheet into oracle.

Or you could use Heterogenous Services to treat Excel as an external database:
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
EXCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
Dont forget to reload the listener
c:\> lsnrctl reload
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT
EMP

Loading XML files in Oracle via SQL*Loader

Hello,
I need to load the data in an XML file provided by a thrird party into my Oracle DB. This file is not formatted as per the requirements of XSU, so I need to find an alternative. In the online documentation for Oracle8i it is stated that one way to load XML files into Oacle is via SQL*Loader. On the SQL*Loader documentation this is not mentioned. Also as far as I know, SQL*Loader can be used with delimited fields or fixed length fields and thus I do not see how this can be done (but it would be very cool).
Can you give me any advice on this?
Thanks
Ciao
Ferruccio

No, SQL*Loader cannot process DBF files directly
Tom Kyte provides a package to read in DBF files thorugh utl_file

Regarding loading of excel data into oracle database

hello,
Can someone help me in knowing that how can we load excel sheets data into oracle database.
I will be really thankful to you.
Gursimran

Hi,
There is tool given by oracle "Oracle Bulk Loader "
you can use this.
But in order use this you need a control file, which specifies how data should be loaded into the database; and a data file, which specifies what data should be loaded.
Example :- this is the control file which has information how the data is processed.
LOAD DATA
INFILE test.dat
INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(i, s)
Example :- test.dat which is the data file or say your excel sheet or document
(1, 'foo')
(2, 'bar')
(3, ' baz')
example of Loading :-
sqlldr <yourName> control=<ctlFile> log=<logFile> bad=<badFile>
sqlldr testing control=test.ctl log=test.log
Thanks

Load flat file into oracle with SQL Loader

Hi All,
Oracle 9i
I want to load flat file into oracle with the help of sqlloader but I want to skip some columns from flat file.
Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
Does anyone has any solution for the same.
Umesh Goel

Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
then I think filler will not work
If yes then plz let me know.
thx

How to UPDATE a big table in Oracle via Bulk Load

Hi all,
in a datastore target as Oracle 11g, I have a big table having 300milions of record; the structure is One integer key + 10 columns attributes .
In IQ Source i have the same table with the same size ; the structure is One integer key + 1 column attributes .
What i need to do is to UPDATE that single field in Oracle from the values stored in IQ .
Any idea on how to organize efficiently the dataflow and the target writing mode ? bulk load ? api ?
thank you
Maurizio

Hi,
You cannot do bulk load when you need to UPDATE a field. Because all a bulk load does is add records to your table.
Since you have to UPDATE a field, i would suggest to go for SCD with
source > TC > MO > KG >target

How i can load excel sheet into a table in oracle through pl/sql procedure

Hi,
How i can load excel sheet into a table in oracle through pl/sql procedure or a pl/sql block. Excel sheet is saved on my c or d drive on my machine. In xls format.

Depending on how big your spreadsheet is and how frequently you want to do this you might want to contruct insert statements in excel, then run these. I have done this to load a few hundred rows for a one off test on dev.
e.g. if you have values 1 and 'a' in you spread sheet and want to insert them in to table xxx col1 & 2:
| /|   A   |   B   |    C
|1 |col1   |col2   |
|2 |      1|a      |="insert into xxx ("&$A$1&","&B1&") values ("&A2&",'"&B2&"');"then paste the contents of colum C
insert into xxx (col1,col2) values (1,'a');into sqlplus or a script.

Here's an example.

Want to load excel data into oracle table with out changing it to CSV

Hello all,
I have a requirement in dumping excel data into oracle database table without changing it to CSV file and this has to be used in normal sql/plsql environment i.e., pkg/procedure cant be used in the forms also...
so, can u guys can help me out in this
thanks.............

The link Pavan provided discusses Oracle Heterogeneous Services. This allows you (using ODBC) to create a database link from Oracle to a non-Oracle data source like Excel. This would allow you to query the Excel data source from SQL*Plus or any other client tool. But that is probably going to require that your Oracle database is running on Windows since I'm not aware of any Excel ODBC drivers for Unix.
Another potential option would be to write a Java stored procedure that parsed the file. There are a few different Java libraries that can read and write Excel data files. You could load one of those libraries into the database's JVM and then write Java code that parsed the file. You would then be able to call your Java stored procedure from PL/SQL.

How to load a java file into Oracle?

Hello,
I have some problem in loading a java file into Oracle 8i. I used "loadjava -user <userName/Password> -resolve <javaClassName>" command.
JAVA Version used JDK 1.5
When calling this class file from a trigger gives this error
ORA-29541: class ANTONY1.DBTrigger could not be resolved.
Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

Hello,
Which username did you use to load the class, and which user is running the trigger?
The default resolver searches only the current user's schema and PUBLIC so the java class needs to be loaded into one of these.
cheers,
Anthony
