How to load selected column with sql loader

Hi all
I want to load only few columns from a datafile not all columns and i don't know how to do from SQL LDR.
I know we can use position but the data is not fixed length.
I'm working with Oracle 11g and Linux OS.
Here is an example of my data file and table.
Data file is and the field is separated by | :
3418483|VOU|20120609090114|555208363|0|2858185502059|1000|0||
3418484|SR|20120609090124|551261956|0|4146314127759|200000|0||
SQL> desc TBL1
Name                                      Null?    Type
CTYPE                                              VARCHAR2(5)
BDATE                                              DATE
PARTNUM                                             VARCHAR2(60)
SERIALNO                                           NUMBER
FVALUE                                             NUMBER
I want to have:
SQL> select * from TBL1
CTYPE     BDATE          PARTNUM          SERIALNO          FVALUE
VOU     09/06/2012     555208363     2858185502059          1000

How can I load this XML with sql loader ?

Hi,
Im try to load a XML file into a XML table:
Create table TEST of XMLTYPE;
XML file is something like this:
<!DOCTYPE list SYSTEM "myfile.dtd">
<list>
<item id = 1> lot of tags an info here </item>
<item id = 9000> lot of tags an info here </item>
</list>
I dont know how to exactly create an appropriate control file to my XML. All examples I saw in documentation are similar to this one:
this is an example control file
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE test
APPEND
XMLTYPE (xmldata)
FIELDS
I dont know how to complete this control file. Can anyone help me ?
thank you!

Well I found this working code
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE test APPEND
xmltype(xmldata)
FIELDS
ext_fname filler char(30),
xmldata LOBFILE (ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
mifile.xml
mifile2.xml
mifile3.xml
the main diference I found is that when i use:
Insert into test values (XMLType(bfilename('XMLDIR', 'swd_uC000025127.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
tag <!DOCTYPE list SYSTEM "myfile.dtd"> is expanded
(I explain at DTD insertion and errors with long DTD entities
Now using sql loader the tag is not modified.
I dont know if is there any difference, between each case. did I lost performance?

Loading multiple files with SQL Loader

Hello.
I will appreciate your recommendation about the way to load multiple files (to multiple tables) using SQL Loader with only one Control file.
file1 to load to Table1, file2 to load to Table2 etc.
How the Control file should look like?
I was looking on Web, but didn't find exactly what I need.
Thanks!

Loading multiple tables with SQL Loader

Hi,
I want to load multiple tables from a single data file using SQL Loader.
Here's the basic idea of what I want. Let's say I have two tables, table =T1
and table T2:
SQL> desc T1;
COL1 VARCHAR2(20)
COL2 VARCHAR2(20)
SQL> desc T2;
COL1 VARCHAR2(20)
COL2 VARCHAR2(20)
COL3 VARCHAR2(20)
My data file, test.dat, looks like this:
AAA|KBA
BBR|BBCC|CCC
NNN|BBBN|NNA
I want to load the first record into T1, and the second and third record load into T2. How do I set up my control file to do that?
Thank!

Tough Job
LOAD DATA
truncate
INTO table t1
when col3 = 'dummy'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(col1,col2,col3 filler char nullif col3='dummy')
INTO table t2
when col3 != 'dummy'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(col1,col2,col3 nullif col3='dummy')
This will load t2 tbl but not t1.
T1 Filler col3 is not accepting nullif. Its diff to compare columns have null using when condition. If i find something i will let you know.
Can you seperate records into 2 file. Will a UNIX command work for you which will seperate 2col and 3col record types for you. and then you can execute 2 controlfiles on it.

Loading VARRAY's with SQL loader, direct path in 9i?

Isn't it possible to load VARRAY's with SQLloader and direct path in a Oracle 9i database?
/Magnus Hornstrom
mailto:[email protected]

Daniel,
I appreciate your response alot.
Now a follow on. You say that SQL*Loader is the fastest way to get data into Oracle Spatial even though the conventional path. How does SQL*Loader do this? Doesn't it use OCI?
I just can't help but think that coverting my data to SQL*Loader format, and then having it parse it and send it to the database in some form must be slower than me just sending whatever SQL Loader sends to the DB myself using OCI. Am I missing something?
The SQL Loader documentation seems to suggest that SQL*Loader just turns the input into alot of INSERT stateemnts. If so, can't I just do this?
My performance with OCI and INSERT statements isn't very good, but I believe I am doing one transaction per insert. Might I be as well off to concentrate on fine tuning my OCI based code using INSERTs?
I will actually do some time tests myself, but I would appreciate your opinion.
Once again thanks for the great info you have provided.

Loading huge file with Sql-Loader from Java

Hi,
I have a csv file with aprox. 3 and a half million records.
I load this data with sqlldr from within java like this:
           String command = "sqlldr userid=" + user + "/" + pass
                    + "@" + service + " control='" + ctlFile + "'";
            System.out.println(command);
            if (System.getProperty("os.name").contains("Windows")) {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C " + command);
            } else {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh -c " + command);
            }it does what I want to, load the data to a certain table, BUT it takes too much time, Is there a faster way to load data to an oracle db from within java?
Thanks, any advice is very welcome

I used the break command to group columns that I do not want to repeat in my query output. When I run the query without formatting is working. But when I put all formatting to produce the required output I dont get the result I want.

Error loading large field with sql loader for 8i

I want to load a large field (30K) to a database, where I use "long" datatype for it. But I can't because it loads hexadecimal characters, or it get stuck in a loop and does not load anything. I have tried using clob and long in the database and using char(40000), char, and log varraw in the control file. Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
from what I see you are running sqllldr in Windows and your database server is on AIX. Is it a remote server or a local network server?
The ORA-12170 error can be raised for many reasons: firewall issue, database down, listener down, bad sqlnet.ora parm, network trouble, etc
If your network is slow maybe that is the reason. You may post also SQLNET.ORa configuration and try to reconfigure parameters SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT in sqlnet.ora to larger values.
If your problem is not solved, please post your SQLNET.ORA configuration.
You can check here for details about setting it: Profile Parameters.
Regards.

Ignoring constraints with SQL*Loader & triggers

When I load a table with SQL*Loader that has foreign key constraints and a before insert trigger, my foreign key constraints are ignored. The end result is a detail table that contains invalid rows (where some column values do not exist in the master table). If I drop the trigger and just load with SQL*Loader, the foreign key constraints are recognized. Any ideas why this is happening? The trigger simply populates the last updated date and user columns.

I found this from Asktom very nice. It will help u a lot.

Problem with loading file with SQL loader

i am getting a problem with loading a file with SQL loader. The loading is getting
terminated after around 2000 rows whereas there are around 2700000 rows in the file.
The file is like
919879086475,11/17/2004,11/20/2004
919879698625,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
919879698628,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
the control file, i am using is like:-
load data
infile 'c:\ran\temp\pps_fc.txt'
into table bm_05oct06
fields terminated by ","
(mobile_no, fcal, frdate )
I hope, my question is clear. Please help, in solving the doubt.
regards.

So which thread is telling the truth?
Doubt with SQL loader file wih spaces
Are the fields delimited with spaces or with commas?
Perhaps they are a mixture of delimiters and that is where the error is coming in?

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.

How can I load data into table with SQL*LOADER

how can I load data into table with SQL*LOADER
when column data length more than 255 bytes?
when column exceed 255 ,data can not be insert into table by SQL*LOADER
CREATE TABLE A (
A VARCHAR2 ( 10 ) ,
B VARCHAR2 ( 10 ) ,
C VARCHAR2 ( 10 ) ,
E VARCHAR2 ( 2000 ) );
control file:
load data
append into table A
fields terminated by X'09'
(A , B , C , E )
SQL*LOADER command:
sqlldr test/test control=A_ctl.txt data=A.xls log=b.log
datafile:
column E is more than 255bytes
1     1     1     1234567------(more than 255bytes)
1     1     1     1234567------(more than 255bytes)

Load image file into a LONG RAW column via SQL*Loader

Does anyone know how to load a image file into a LONG RAW column via SQL*Loader?
Thanks

Are you trying to import the image on the client into Oracle lite, or from the server end into the main oracle database for download to the client?
On our system images are loaded into the the oracle lite database (10g R1 at the moment) on the client (DELL X50 PDA's) into a BLOB (Not LONG RAW) column using Java (relatively standard functionality in Java) as this is what our application software is written in.
From the server end, we do not at the moment load images as such, but we do load the application software into the database for deployment of new versions to the clients (the DMC/DMS updates we have found very unreliable), and the technique should be the same for images. Again the file is imported into a BLOB column.
NOTE a column defined as BLOB on the main Oracle database appears as a LONG VARBINARY on the client Oracle lite database, but the synchronisation process handles the conversion with no problem.
To import into a BLOB column on the server try the following
1) you will need to create a DIRECTORY (CREATE DIRECTORY command) within the database, pointing at a directory on the database server (or accessible from it). This is needed for the file location.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY PDA_FILE_UPLOAD AS '/pdaapps/jar/'
NOTE create directory needs to be run as SYSTEM
2) define your table to hold the image and other data. Our tables is
SQL> desc pda_applications
Name Null? Type
ID NOT NULL NUMBER(12)
PDAAT_CODE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
VERSION NOT NULL NUMBER(5,2)
PART_NO NOT NULL NUMBER(3)
FILE_OBJECT BLOB
DEPLOY_APPLICATION_YN NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1)
3) copy the image (or in our case a .jar file) to the database server directory specified in step 1
4) the actual import is done using a DBMB_LOB procedure
PROCEDURE pr_load_file
Module Name : pr_load_file
