Is this possible through sql loader

hi grus,
i want to load a data through sql loader but the problem is, data file contains some numeric values and after each numeric value there is sign character,
for example
position 1 to 9 = 12345678- (in case of negative)
or
position 1 to 9 = 12345678% (% represents blank space in case of positive)
is there any way to load this numeric value into one field, where the sign follow the numeric value?
Thanks

Hi Jim/Jenis
Just want to know why the below statement dosn't work.
when i used "MI" format then all the records which trailing blank rejected by the loader only trailing "-" loaded.
CURR_MON_OPEN_BAL position(0045:0053) "to_number(:CURR_MON_OPEN_BAL, '99999999MI')"
then i use the following trick and works fine.
CURR_MON_OPEN_BAL position(0045:0053) "to_number(rpad(:CURR_MON_OPEN_BAL,9,'+', '99999999S')"
Could you guys explain why the MI format doesn't work in my case?

Is this possible through SQL

Hi,
Please find below the sample data
Empl   Start Date   End Date
A       2-JUN-11     30-JUN-11
A       1-JUL-11      15-JUL-11
A       16-JUL-11    NULL
B       14-SEP-06   3-NOV-09
B       10-APR-11   4-MAY-11
B       5-MAY-11    NULLThe above is a sample extract from an employee detail table. Whenever there is a change in the employee data the active row in the table is end dated and a new row inserted with the new start date.
In the above example employee A joined the organization on 2n June 2011 and is still employed by the organization, and moved teams twice. While B had joined in 14 September 2006, quit the organization on 3rd November 2009, and rejoined the org on 10th April 2011.
Now, I want to frame a SQL query which returns employee name and his latest joining date. So for the above sample data the result set would be:
Empl Start Date
A     2-JUN-11
B     50-APR-11Do you think this is possible through an SQL query?
Thanks,
CJM

You were right the filter was wrong. I made a correction to my first post.
A       2-JUN-11    30-JUN-11     0
A       1-JUL-11    15-JUL-11     1
A       16-JUL-11   NULL          1
B       14-SEP-06   3-NOV-09      0
B       10-APR-11   4-MAY-11    584
B       5-MAY-11    NULL          1outer query
A       2-JUN-11    30-JUN-11     0   /* max value */

Importing oracle.sql.BLOB through SQL Loader

Hello,
Currently the system we have creates .sql files and executes them. This takes a long time, so we're attempting to change to using SQL Loader. The one problem I'm having that I can't seem to fix is finding out how to imitate the behavior of this SQL statement through SQL Loader:
INSERT INTO KRSB_QRTZ_BLOB_TRIGGERS (BLOB_DATA,TRIGGER_GROUP,TRIGGER_NAME)
VALUES (oracle.sql.BLOB@515263,'KCB-Delivery','PeriodicMessageProcessingTrigger')
I tried creating a lobfile and placing the text oracle.sql.BLOB@515263 within it this way
INTO TABLE KRSB_QRTZ_BLOB_TRIGGERS
WHEN tablename = 'KRSB_QRTZ_BLOB_TRIGGERS'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '##'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
tablename FILLER POSITION(1),
TRIGGER_NAME CHAR(80),
TRIGGER_GROUP CHAR(80),
ext_fname FILLER,
BLOB_DATA LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
However, as expected, it merely loaded the text "oracle.sql.BLOB@515263" into the database. So does anyone have any ideas of how to imitate that insert statement through SQL Loader? The only information I have available is the string "oracle.sql.BLOB@515263", no other files or anything to aid with actually getting the binary data.
When the .sql file is run with that insert statement in it, a 1.2kb BLOB is inserted into the database versus a 22 byte BLOB that contains nothing useful when done through SQL Loader.

My preference is DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE

did you try it?

Hi Srini,
Thanks for looking into this!!
We are on EBS 11.5.10 and OS is solaris.
I tried fnd_profile,fnd_global but no luck.
Here is the control file which we are using to load data.
load data
infile *
replace into table XXXX_YYYY_STAG
trailing nullcols
(line POSITION(1:2000)
I would like to populate org id when I load the data from file.unfortunately there is no identifier in the file that says for which org id the data is in the file.Only the way to identify the file org is based on file name
Where do you want to populate the ORG_ID ? There is no column for it in your stage table above
Is there way we can pass through concurrent program parameters?
Thanks

Check data before loading through SQL *Loader

Hi all,
I have a temp table which is loaded through SQL*Loader.This table is used by a procedure for inserting data into another table.
I get error of 0RA-01722 frequently during procdures execution.
I have decided to check for the error data through the control file itself.
I have few doubts about SQL Loader.
Will a record containing character data for column declared as INTEGER EXTERNAL in ctrl file get discarded?
Does declaring column as INTERGER EXTERNAL take care of NULL values?
Does a whole record gets discarded if one of the column data is misplaced in the record in input file?
Control File is of following format:
LOAD DATA
APPEND INTO TABLE Temp
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" optionally enclosed by "'"
trailing nullcols
FILEDATE DATE 'DD/MM/YYYY',
ACC_NUM INTEGER EXTERNAL,
REC_TYPE ,
LOGO , (Data:Numeric Declared:VARCHAR)
CARD_NUM INTEGER EXTERNAL,
ACTION_DATE DATE 'DD/MM/YYYY',
EFFECTIVE_DATE DATE 'DD/MM/YYYY',
ACTION_AMOUNT , (Data:Numeric Declared:NUMBER)
ACTION_STORE , (Data:Numeric Declared:VARCHAR)
ACTION_AUTH_NUM ,
ACTION_SKU_NUM ,
ACTION_CASE_NUM )

How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site? We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time. Is this possible through a CSV?

There are two parts to this:
1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

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?

Is this possible via SQL or not ?

Hi There
I have a scenario. Am not sure if this is possible via SQL or not.
For Example Consider two tables
T1
product_id location_id stock
A 1 100
T2
product_id location_id aging_phase received_qty
A 1 1 20
A 1 2 30
A 1 3 70
Now in T1 there is actual stock that is 100, while aging wise if i see stock that is 20+30+70=120
What i want is, generate a SQL that should yield quantity equals stock in T1 but with AGING PHASE wise break up
Result should be like this :
product_id location_id aging_phase qty
A 1 1 20
A 1 2 30
A 1 3 50
It would be a great help if somehow it becomes possible. Anyone have some solution ?
Regards
Capri

Extracting Multiple Logical Records through sql loader

Hello gurus,
I have few questions regarding the sql loader. I m totally new to this i have never used, this is the first time i m using
1.
How do i find the position number of the charcter or a number ? do i need to physically count the position ? is ther any specific way of counting or use textpad to do that ?
I know it sounds like silly question... but i wanted to know if there is any better way of doing it
2.
example data
1119 Smith      1120 Yvonne
1121 Albert     1130 Thomas
The following control file extracts the logical records:
INTO TABLE emp
     (empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
      ename POSITION(6:15) CHAR)
INTO TABLE emp
     (empno POSITION(17:20) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
      ename POSITION(21:30) CHAR)---
2. Can you please expalin me what does the "null if deptno = blanks " ?
deptno POSITION(1:2) INTEGER EXTERNAL(2)
              NULLIF deptno=BLANKS,I really appriciate it ~
Thanks

Hi,
The NULLIF means load blanks as NULL
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_field_list.htm#sthref1129
Not sure I understand your first question. You must of course know the format of the file, TextPad could be an ok tool for determining that format for a fixed column width file.

Hierarchy Report - is this possible through Crystal Report???

Hello friends
We have a requirment as follow:
In Row : Hierarchy
In Column: Qty
we have 3 levels of hierarchy: level1 , level2 and level3
we want level1 in row and rest two levels in column along with qty
Row: :Level1
Col: Level2, Level3, Qty
please let me know whether its possible through Crystal Report or not,,,I tried out this in BEx (BW) but we cant do that

This is possible,
Create a group on Level1
In Detail place Lavel2 ,Level3,Qty

Hierarchy Report - is this possible through BO???

Hello friends
We have a requirment as follow:
In Row : Hierarchy
In Column: Qty
we have 3 levels of hierarchy: level1 , level2 and level3
we want level1 in row and rest two levels in column along with qty

Edited by: Alok Kashyap on Feb 2, 2009 9:03 AM

Hi Alok,
As I understand you want to set different levels of hierarchies for different Columns objects in the report.
BO doesnu2019t have the concept of Row and Column Level Hierarchy because when you select any value BO Select all values in column we canu2019t refer any single value in column and we canu2019t refer all related values as record thus Row level hierarchy is not possible.
You can use Custom Hierarchies to set different hierarchies for different objects.
Lets Say you Want Object in Column A to follow Level 1 include that object in Level1 Hierarchy.
Define Level 2, Level 3 Hierarchy and Include Object in Column 2 in those hierarchies thus Column 2 follows Level 2 and Level 3 Hierarchy.
When there is confusion about which Hierarchy Level to follow when at same level it asks user which way to go.
I Hope this Helpsu2026
Thanksu2026

so pls suggest something else....Hang on, I'll go find you some glasses. I think you're having trouble reading.
First file : Control file truncates and loads data
Second file : Control file does not truncate and loads data
2 Calls to SQL*Loader
Is that a little clearer?
Are you saying there is a relationship between the data in the two files?
How do you know which last name relates to which first name in the first file? Is there a reference key between the records on the two files?
Perhaps you'd better show us an example of the contents of the files so we can see what you are trying to do.

Is this Possible through a query?

Hi All,
i am calling this function in an update statement.
this function queries a table based on the conditions and will return the latest(max) date from table.
Is it possible to achieve this in a query?
CREATE OR REPLACE Function getmaxdate(pRLK_RK number,
pLN_RK number,pRLK_ACT_FLG varchar) Return date Is
vnum number(3);
pmaxdate date;

Would you please inform when the reports are scheduled for automatic process?
Maria will stop his process to avoid duplication.
Please inform asap

The first column gets the sentence 'Would you please inform.....' i.e . the data of second columns gets loaded into first column as nulls are recognized as end delimiter.
How to overcome this problem?
