How to use SQL*loader in oracle9i???

Hi,
I have installed oracle9i, and want to use sql*loader to load text data into table.
However, I can not find a tool called SQL*loader anywhere on the manu.
It will be appreciated if some experts can give me an advice where I can find it, and how to use it to load text data.
Thanks.
Chuck

When I go to tahiti.oracle.com and search on "external table", I get dozens of hits that explain how to create an external table and give numerous examples. If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to try to go into more detail. A generic SQL*Loader guide, however, would be well bayond the scope of this forum.

How to use SQL*LOADER to read data in |SMITH|ALFRED| format

the data I need to upload to table using SQL*LOADER is in format as below:
|AD |Argentina |
|CN |China       |
|US |America            |
|GB |England        |so how should I write my control file to read the data into two columns table?
I googled and people say that use Enclosed fields—delimiter (|), and I tried with below, but not working:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
insert
INTO TABLE tmp_country_mapping
FIELDS ENCLOSED BY '|'
(country_id, country_name)
BEGINDATA
|AD |Argentina |
|CN |China       |
|US |America            |
|GB |England        |Anyone could help?
BTW, I don`t want the spaces behind the value of the second column.
Thanks

Problem solved, by removing the NLS_LANG=ENGLISH.

before the load, data is as below:

|AF |阿富汗            |
|AG |安提瓜和巴布达        |
|AI |安圭拉岛           |
|AL |阿尔巴尼亚          |after the load, data displays as below:
AD      °2μà？？12oí1ú

AG      °2ìá1？oí°í2？′？

AL      °￠？？°í？á？？And my database supports Chinese words and it displays correctly for other tables, except this one.
What could be the problem?

How to use SQL*Loader to load XMLType Column with other columns?

Hi,
I am trying to use sqlldr to load an XML file into a table with an XMLType column. I have found plenty of examples where the entire table is an xmltype, but I would like to load many XML objects into a generic table for processing with one XMLType column and many other columns to identify the load. As a simple example, I have one constant column which I want to set during the upload.
The following example does not work :(. No errors either.
create table xml_upload
(upload_type varchar2(10) not null,
xml_data XMLType)
my control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE * append
INTO TABLE xml_upload
XMLType(xml_data)
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
upload_type constant MARKET,
xml_data
BEGINDATA
<SALE_ORDER>

How to export&import data using sql *loader

Hi all,
How to export&import data from sql*loader. Give me the clear steps..
Thanks in Advance

Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
1) create a sql*loader control file.
it looks like as follows
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sample.dat'
BADFILE 'sample.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
TRAILING NULLCOLS
or for sample script of control file search google.
2) at command prompt issue following
$ sqlldr test/test
enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
debug any errors (if occured)

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Try something like this in your control file:

Two options that come to mind. Others exist.
#1 - {thread:id=474031}, which is basically storing the XML in an Object Relational structure for parsing
#2 - Dump the XML into either an XMLType based table or column and use SQL (with XMLTable) to create a view that parses the data. This would be the same as the view shown in the above post.
Don't use sql*loader to parse the XML. I was trying to find a post from mdrake about that but couldn't. In short, sql*loader was not build as an XML parser so don't try to use it that way.

Using SQL Loader in a procedure

Can we use SQL Loader in a stored procedure to load data in an Excel file into the database? If so, how. Also, how can it create a log file to save records that have not been loaded.

You can..Try this out..
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "Host" AS
import java.io.*;
public class Host {
public static void executeCommand(String command) {
try {
String[] finalCommand;
finalCommand = new String[4];
finalCommand[0] = "C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe";
finalCommand[1] = "/y";
finalCommand[2] = "/c";
finalCommand[3] = command;
final Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(finalCommand);
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
BufferedReader br_in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
String buff = null;
while ((buff = br_in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("Process out :" + buff);
try {Thread.sleep(100); } catch(Exception e) {}
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Exception caught printing process output.");
ioe.printStackTrace();
}).start();
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
BufferedReader br_err = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getErrorStream()));
String buff = null;
while ((buff = br_err.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("Process err :" + buff);
try {Thread.sleep(100); } catch(Exception e) {}
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("Exception caught printing process error.");
ioe.printStackTrace();
}).start();
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getLocalizedMessage());
public static boolean isWindows() {
if (System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase().indexOf("windows") != -1)
return true;
else
return false;
show errors java source "Host"
And now create an Oracle wrapper
SQL>
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Host_Command (p_command IN VARCHAR2)
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'Host.executeCommand (java.lang.String)';
Procedure created.
Now invoke the procedure with an operating system command
BEGIN
Host_Command (p_command => 'sqlldr system/tiburon@"(DESCRIPTION\=(ADDRESS_LIST\=(ADDRESS\=(PROTOCOL\=TCP)(HOST\=ICCW3053)(Port\=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA\=(SERVICE_NAME\=orcl)))" control=C:\anupama\emp_join.ctl log=C:\anupama\emp_join.log');
END;
/Let me know if it works\encounter any troubles.
Good luck!!!

Loading XML file using sql*loader (10g)

Hi Everyone....
I have a major problem. I have a 10g database and I need to use sql loader to load a large XML file into the database. This file contains records for many, many customers. This will be done several times and the number of records will vary. I want to use sql loader and load to a staging table, BUT SPLIT THE RECORDS OUT and add a sequence. I am having 2 problems.
In the 10g documentation, when you want to split the records you use the BEGINDATA clause and indicate something (like a 0) for each instance of a record. Well my first file has 3,722 records in it. How do I know the number of records in each XML file?
The second problem is that because this is XML, I thought that I could use ENCLOSED BY. But the start tag has an attribute /counter in it, sql*loader doesnt recognize the starting tag. (i.e.: start tag is: </CustomerRec number=1>
end tag is: </CustomerRec> )
So, I used TERMINATED BY '</CustomerRec>'. This will split out the records, but it will NOT include the ending tag of </CustomerRec> and when I use extract, I receive an XML parsing error.
I have tried to get the ending tag using CONTINUEIF and SKIP. But those options are for "records" and not lines.
Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 problems above. I am at my wits end and I need to finish this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry.... here is an example of what my control file looks like. At the end, I have 92 "0", but remember, I have 3722 records in this first file.
LOAD DATA (SKIP 1)
INFILE *
INTO TABLE RETURN_DATA_STG
TRUNCATE
