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

Problem solved, by removing the NLS_LANG=ENGLISH.
>
before the load, data is as below:
|AD |安道尔共和国         |
|AE |阿联酋            |
|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
AE      °￠áa？？
AF      °￠？？o1
AG      °2ìá1？oí°í2？′？
AI      °21？à-μo
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 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.

Hi everybody!
My situation is that: I want to use SQL loader with Foxpro DBF format, it similar to case 2 study (Fixed format record) but DBF file has header, how can I tell SQL loader skip header.
Thank you in advance

Another option is to apply SQL operators to fields
LOAD DATA
   INFILE *
   APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' (
   empno,
   ename,
   job,
   mgr,

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

Using SQL Loader to insert data based on conditionally statements

I would like to use sql loader to insert records from a single text file into an Oracle database table. Sounds easy but the problem is that I need to check the existence of data in another table (Table A) before data can be loaded into Table B.
Table A has two columns: dept_no (primary key value) and dept_name (char)
Table B has five columns: emp_no (primary key value), dept_no (foreign key value to Table A), employee (char), job_title (char) and salary (number)
Text File looks like this:
Finance Jones President 10000
HR Smith Admin 2000
HelpDesk Jenkins Technician 3000
Problem:
1. I need sql loader to insert records into Table B by first checking if the first field in the file is in Table A.
2. If value exists get it's dept_no value.
3. If value doesn't exist discard record ( I might want to have sql loader insert a new record for this into Table A)
4. Using value from #2, insert the value in Table B for dept_no column.
5. Also assign a sequence value for the emp_no value in Table B.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am not sure this is possible with SQL loader. I would rather use an external table based on your file.
Then, I would use SQL to load your data into your table, based on your conditions.
Your request is not very complicated, writing the SQL to do that will be really more simple than trying to do it with SQL loader.
Hope it will help.

Sylvie

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>
<CUST_CODE>TIM</CUST_CODE>
<ORDER_NUM>1234></ORDER_NUM>
</SALE_ORDER>

Loading leap year date using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I have a problem loading a date '29/02/2000' using SQL*Loader. This date is on a leap year. I'm getting an error message from SQL*Loader as 'ORA-01839: date not valid for month specified'. My colleague and I have tried using various date functions to convert the data into date, but no luck.
I would appreciate any helps,
Bruce

Thanks for your help, I found the bug on my control file. I was using the RTRIM function to remove bad timestamp such as '29/02/2000 0:00:00'. So instead of using this statement:
LOG_DATE DATE "DD/MM/RRRR" "RTRIM(:LOG_DATE,'0:00:00')"
I was using the statement below with a space before the '0:00:00' string literal, with the intention to remove a space also:
LOG_DATE DATE "DD/MM/RRRR" "RTRIM(:LOG_DATE,' 0:00:00')"
Well, it turned out that if there was a space before the string literal, RTRIM function would trim the matching string plus any '0' characters from the right, including the '000' that belongs to '2000'. Thus, the error.
Thanks again,
Bruce

Using SQL Loader script in a Stored Procedure

Can I use SQL Loader script in a stored procedure and then execute it from a front-end appl.? The reason for this seemingly convoluted solution is that the users don't want a batch load though the records volume is quite high (around 1 mil). Other loads using ODBC connection or OLE DB seem to be inferior to SQL Loader.

I would suggest a couple of solutions:
1. Have a cgi script that can upload the file to the server from a web ui, then have the cgi script call the sql*loader file, and it will insert into the database.
2. You can try to use External tables. This is avaliable in 9i and onwards. You will be able to make any sql DML on the external table.
I would normally use sql*loader, move the data to a staging table with nologging, and paralle loading. After it has been loaded into the staging table I would process it into my main tables. Have used this approach with up to 60 million records in one load.
You can do calls to C procedures, Pro*C procedures through PLSQL, as well as java calls, or use Java stored procedures.
My experience is that SQL*Loader is the fastest way to load data into the database.

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)

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')"
