Loading 60 GB with sqlldr

Has anybody done something like this? I am wondering if sqlldr is a good way to import a 60GB csv file. Please comment about your experience.

My question here is, did you be able to store 60gb on csv file?

Loading single digit months with SQLLDR

How can I load dates with the month having a single digit using sqlldr??
62305220507 in this example the date is 23-Jun0-05 22:05:07
111804115452 in this example the date is 18-Nov-04 11:54:52
I've tried the date mask mmddyyhh24miss but only the double digit months get loaded.
Thanks,
Paul

How about something like this
my_date CHAR "to_date(lpad(:my_date, 12, '0'), 'mmddyyhh24miss')"P.S. And maybe you should consider to use RR rather than YY for the two digit year?

Load Error with return code 7000 when call sqlldr in interface.

Hi All,
I have created a interface to load data from 'File' to 'Oracle' in ODI 11g.
Below are the running order of this interface.
1 - Loading - SrcSet0 - Drop work view
2 - Loading - SrcSet0 - Drop Temp Table
3 - Loading - SrcSet0 - Create Temp table
4 - Loading - SrcSet0 - Create Work View
5 - Loading - SrcSet0 - Generate CTL file
6 - Loading - SrcSet0 - Call sqlldr
We are getting the following error while running the step 6.
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 22, in <module>

And it return code 7000 indicated in 'Execution Statistics'.
If anyone has encountered a similar issue and able to solve it, please share your thoughts with me.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Problem with sqlldr and commit

Hi,
i have a problem with sqlldr and commit.
I have a simple table with one colum [ col_id number(6) not null ]. The column "col_id" is primary key in the table. I have one file with 100.000 records ( number from 0 to 99.999 ).
I want load the file in the table with sqlldr ( sql*loader ) but i want commit only if all records are loaded. If one record is discarded i want discarded all record of file.
The proble is that in coventional path the commit is on 64 row but if i want the same records of file isn't possible and in direct path sqlldr disable primary key :(
There are a solutions?
Thanks
I'm for the bad English

This is my table:
DROP TABLE TEST_SQLLOADER;
CREATE TABLE TEST_SQLLOADER
( COL_ID NUMBER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT TEST_SQLLOADER_PK PRIMARY KEY (COL_ID)
This is my ctlfile ( test_sql_loader.ctl )

Sql@loader-704 and ORA-12154: error messages when trying to load data with SQL Loader

I have a data base with two tables that is used by Apex 4.2. One table has 800,000 records . The other has 7 million records
The client recently upgraded from Apex 3.2 to Apex 4.2 . We exported/imported the data to the new location with no problems
The source of the data is an old mainframe system; I needed to make changes to the source data and then load the tables.
The first time I loaded the data i did it from a command line with SQL loader
Now when I try to load the data I get this message:
sql@loader-704 Internal error: ulconnect OCISERVERATTACH
ORA-12154: tns:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I've searched for postings on these error message and they all seem to say that SQL Ldr can't find my TNSNAMES file.
I am able to connect and load data with SQL Developer; so SQL developer is able to find the TNSNAMES file
However SQL Developer will not let me load a file this big
I have also tried to load the file within Apex (SQL Workshop/ Utilities) but again, the file is too big.
So it seems like SQL Loader is the only option
I did find one post online that said to set an environment variable with the path to the TNSNAMES file, but that didn't work..
Not sure what else to try or where to look
thanks

Hi,
You must have more than one tnsnames file or multiple installations of oracle. What i suggest you do (as I'm sure will be mentioned in ed's link that you were already pointed at) is the following (* i assume you are on windows?)
open a command prompt
set TNS_ADMIN=PATH_TO_DIRECTOT_THAT_CONTAINS_CORRECT_TNSNAMES_FILE (i.e. something like set TNS_ADMIN=c:\oracle\network\admin)
This will tell oracle use the config files you find here and no others
then try sqlldr user/pass@db (in the same dos window)
see if that connects and let us know.
Cheers,
Harry

Little problem with SQLLDR

Hi,
I've got great help here in the past so I thought this would be the right place to try and find the solution to my problem loading data using SQLLDR into an oracle database.
Basically, upon loading I am using a to_date function. However, the parameters this to_date function must take depends on the data I'm trying to load (there are only two possible date formats I'm trying to load). Is there any way of using two to_date functions inside a conditional statement (if statement etc.).
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Dan

Looking at what you posted, i think you may have some issues with the quoting.
to_date(:DATE_FIELD,''DD-MM-YYYY'))"
{code}
You have a double quote before the DD there.

I see someone else is quicker than me :)

Again got stuck with sqlldr.

SQL*Loader problem with direct path load

Hi all,
Its on Oracle 9.2
I have a sqlldr control file which has couple of columns like,
my_column_1 ,
my_column_2 "decode(:my_column_1,'ONE','AAA','TWO','BBB', :my_column_1)"
The table I am loading to is in user X and I am running the load from
user Y. Everything works fine with conventional path load (not direct
path) as grants are made for the table to user Y.
When I load the data with same control file with direct path, I get an
error ,
01031 - insufficient privileges
Is this anything to do with the syntex I have used in the control file
or its a privilege issue. If its a privilege issue which privilege is
that ?
I did following tests,
1) Load is run with conventional path load, from user Y and the decode
statement is in control file - Load works
2) Load is run with direct path load, from user Y and decode statement
is in control file - Load fails with above mentioned error
3) Load is run with direct path load, from user Y and decode IS REMOVED
from the control file - Load works (!!!)
What can be the conclusion? Way out ?
Thanks and Regards

You need to grant
grant lock any table to userY;
For more information see MetaLink Note 1082550.6

File loaded successfully by SQLldr but external table failed

Hi ,
When i tried to create an external table to load data from file it failed with the below error
"KUP-04018: partial record at end of file",
When i query on the external table for rows with rownum<2500 i can see the records being properly loaded but when i tried to fetch all records it throws the above error.
But the same file when i loaded with sqlldr it loaded all the records successfully.
Can you please let me know the reason for this?
Regards

Can you post us your SQLLDR control file, your external table definition, a sample of your data (preferably including the last lines of data which you believe are erroring) and also let us know your database version.

UNICODE data files with SQLLDR

how can i load UNICODE data files with SQLLDR.
my Oracle instance is on UNIX with NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1.
I have .dat files extracted from SQL Server using bcp utility with -w option.
When i use -c option i'm not getting the european characters correctly like the a and e with 2 dots on top....
when i load UNICODE (-w) file with CHARACTERSET UTF8 in my control file, it doesnt go thru. Any solution for this ? Thanks !

I just created a unicode textfile on windows with some westeuropean characters and imported it into we8iso8859p1 database on linux using controlfile parameter CHARACTERSET UTF16.
They got all properly converted.
As Justin mentioned, unicode on windows means generally UTF16 Little Endian.
Best regards

Load testing with concurrent users on HTTP Web

Hello,

I record (with Firefox) and developed the testing script with OpenScript,
but I found that I could only test with "Iteration" feature.
Is there any way to do load testing with concurrent users ( multi users login at the same time ) which defined in databank?
Thanks for help.

Hi
You need to load the script into OLT (Oracle Load Testing) you can download it from here you need the first link Oracle Application Testing Suite and run the OATSxxx.exe to install OLT.

Data load issue with export data source - BW 3.5

Hi,
We are facing issues in loading data with the help of export data source.
We have created export data source of 0PCA_C01 cube. With the help of this export datasource, we are loading data to other custom cube. Scenario is working fine in development server.
But when we transported objects to quality server data is not getting loaded to custom target cube.
It is extracting zero records. All transports are ok and we have generated export datasource in quality before transports .Also regenerated export datasource after transport and activated infosource, update rule via RS* programs. Every object is active but data is not getting extracted.
RSA3 for 80PCA_C01 datasource isn't extracting any record in Quality. Records getting extracted in development. We are in BW 3.5 with patch level 19.
Please guide us to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Aditya

Hi
Make sure that you have relevant Role & Authorization at Quality/PRS.
You have to Transport the Source Cube first and then Create a Generate Export Data Source in QAS. Then, replicate data sources for BW QAS Soruce System. Make sure this replicated Data Source in QAS. Only then can transport new update rules for second cube.
Hope it helps and clear

How can I convert my music, and CDs to MP3, for use in my vehicle's AM/FM/ Stereo? I have a 16 GB SDHC Card, that I would like to load up with some of my music.

Thanks for any help you can furnish.

Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
Just go to iTunes Preferences. Click on the General icon. Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD. Click on Import Settings. Set Import to MP3 decoder. Make sure you're using Good Quality.
This should deal with your CD's.
With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version.
