How to SQL*loader to skip some columns from the source file?

I am using oracle9i sqlldr to load some .csv files into db.
If I want to skip the first two columns in the source file, can I do that?
If yes, how should I specify it in the ctl file?
Thanks
Wendy

Hello Dave,
Here is a sample of what you'll need to have in your control fileLOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE <target_table>
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
( column_1 FILLER
, column_2
, column_3
, column_4 FILLER
)Hope this helps,

HI ,
We have a data load in our project which feeds the oracle external tables with the data from the Flat Files(.bcp files) in unix.
While loading the data, we are encountering the following error.

How to add multiple images to a JLabel from the jar file

I want to add multiple images in a JLabel but the icon property only allows me to add one. I thought I could use html rendering to add the images I need by using the <img> tab, but I need to use a URL that points to the image.
How do I point to an image inside the jar file? If I can't, is there another way to show multiple images in a JLabel from the jar file?

Thanks, it works perfectly. It's a really smart way of fixing the problem too :)
I also found your toggle button icon classes which is something I've also had a problem with.
Thanks.

SQL*Loader - Skipping columns in the source file.

Hi
I have a comma delimted source file with 4 columns. I however only want to load columns 2 and 3 into my table using SQL*Loader. This seems like something that should be fairly simple but I can't seem to find any doc or examples of this.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

How do I load and run a sequence from the Tools menu?

If I can build a sequence to do something special, what's the syntax required to load and run it from a menu? This must be transparent to the customer. I know how to add menu items, but the tools customize window seems to be looking for an exe.

When you go to tools>>customise and then add in an item to appear in a menu, you need to select sequence, rather than command.
Hope that helps

How to get a data element's value from the data file while bursting

For faxing bursted data into rightafx, I need to first burst my invoice data file into numerous pdf files in the filesystem, and then use the rightfax function of the delivery manager to send those files to different faxes. Integration with rightfax is not available in the bursting engine.
While bursting the xml data file based on invoice number, I need to get the fax number that is different for each invoice in a java variable so that I can use it to pass fax number information to rightfax. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Can any one help?

Sqlldr - can you skip last row from a data file

Hi
I need to skip last line from the data file when I load the data into the tables. Is that possible to do using sqlldr, if yes How?
Also, the first row in the data file, which has a single column needs to be loaded into all the rows of the table. How can i do that?
Example
020051213
1088110 0047245 A 000000000000GB 00000496546700
1088110 0719210 A 000000000000GB 00001643982200
1088110 0727871 A 000000000000GB 00000083008900
9010163
The first line needs to go into all the rows, and the last row needs to be skipped. Remaining can be loaded normally. I think this would take multiple loads. Can anybody please help.
TIA

Sql loader does not skip header rows from the second infile

Hi
I am new to Sql Loader and trying to figure out a way to load data into the table from 2 files which have different data in the same format. The files get successfully loaded into the database with just one glitch:
Its skips first 2 rows from the first file however it takes first 2 rows from the 2nd file which I do not want. Can anyone help me with this issue? How can i restrict loader from picking up the 2 header rows from the second file as well?
given below is the content of the control file
OPTIONS ( SKIP=2)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\Italy_Wave11_Contacts.csv'
BADFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\Contacts.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'C:\loader\contacts\contacts.dsc'

It would be possible to call the loader twice with only one input-File at each run.

How to export some data from the tables of an owner with integrity?

Hi to all,
How to export some data from the tables of an owner with integrity?
I want to bring some data from all tables in a single owner of the production database for development environment.
My initial requirements are: seeking information on company code (emp), contract status (status) and / or effective date of contract settlement (dt_liq_efetiva) - a small amount of data to developers.
These three fields are present in the main system table (the table of contracts). Then I thought about ...
- create a temporary table from the query results table to contract;
- and then use this temporary table as a reference to fetch the data in other tables of the owner while maintaining integrity. But how? I have not found the answer, because: what to do when not there is the possibility of a join between the contract and any other table?
I am considering the possibility of consulting the names of tables, foreign keys and columns above, and create dynamic SQL. Conceptually, something like:
select r.constraint_name "FK name",
r.table_name "FK table",
r.column_name "FK column",
up.constraint_name "Referencing name",
up.table_name "Referencing table",
up.column_name "Referencing column"
from all_cons_columns up
join all_cons_columns r
using (owner, position), (select r.owner,
r.constraint_name fk,
r.table_name table_fk,
r.r_constraint_name r,
up.table_name table_r
from all_constraints up, all_constraints r
where r.r_owner = up.owner
and r.r_constraint_name = up.constraint_name
and up.constraint_type in ('P', 'U')
and r.constraint_type = 'R'
and r.owner = 'OWNERNAME') aux
where r.constraint_name = aux.fk
and r.table_name = aux.table_fk
and up.constraint_name = aux.r
and up.table_name = aux.table_r;
-- + Dynamic SQL
If anyone has any suggestions and / or reuse code to me thank you very much!
After resolving this standoff intend to mount the inserts in utl_file by a table and create another program to read and play in the development environment.

Thanks, Peter.
Well, I am working with release 9.2.0.8.0. But the planning is migrate to 10g this year. So my questions are:
With Data Pump can export data just from tables owned for me (SCHEMAS = MYOWNER) parameterizing the volume of data (SAMPLE) and filters to table (QUERY), right? But parameterizing a contract table QUERY = "WHERE status NOT IN (2,6) ORDER BY contract ":
1º- the Data Pump automatically searches for related data in other tables in the owner? ex. parcel table has X records related (fk) with Y contracts not in (2,6): X * SAMPLE records will be randomly exported?
2º- for the tables without relation (fk) and which are within the owner (MYOWNER) the data is exported only based on the parameter SAMPLE?
Once again, thank you,
Philips

How to fetch the Date column(or Month column) from the file name from the specified path in ODI 11g

Hi ALL,
Can any one help us regarding How to fecth the Date column(or month column) from the file name specified in the path in a generalized way .
For example :
file name is :subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv is specified in the below path
E:\Accounting\documents\subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv
here I need to fetch the "Sep13" as a Date column in the ODI 11g in the generalized way.
Can any one help us in this case as early as possible.

I would suggest using a piece of Jython code for this. Something like this...
import os
import os.path
filelist = os.listdir(E:\Accounting\documents\)
for file in filelist:
datestr = file[19:-4]
You'd need to work out what to do with datestr next... perhaps write it to a table or update an ODI variable with it.
Hope this is of some help.

How can I edit the SamAccountName column from the list or be able to edit it?

Hello,
In my view for a SharePoint list, I see three columns for SamAccountName. This list is for listing staff as a directory, so there are phone numbers, names, emails addresses, division, department and such. The SamAccountName
column for some people has incorrect username or is blank. When I edit a record in the list, the SamAccountName column is not available to edit.
How can I edit the SamAccountName column from the list or be able to edit it?
I do have user profiles working and importing profiles from AD, but the list still shows empty or incorrect SamAccountName for some records.
