Loading data with sql loader

Hi Experts,
I have a file with the following format. I have to insert the data of those files in a table. I can use SQL Loader to load those files.
My question is I need to schedule the upload of those files. Can i incorporate sql loader in a procedure?

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

Load data with SQL Loader link field between CSV file and Control File

Hi all,
in a SQL Loader control file, how do you specify link with field in CSV file and Control file?
E.g. if I wat to import the record in table TEST (col1, col2, col3) with data in csv file BUT in different position. How to do this?
FILE CSV (with variable position):
test1;prova;pippo;Ferrari;
xx;yy;hello;by;
In the table TEST i want that col1 = 'prova' (xx),
col2 = 'Ferrari' (yy)
col3 = default N
the others data in CSV file are ignored.
so:
load data
infile 'TEST.CSV'
into table TEST
fields terminated by ';'
col1 ?????,
col2 ?????,
col3 CONSTANT "N"
Thanks,
Attilio

With '?' mark i mean " How i can link this COL1 with column in csv file ? "

Problem with loading file with SQL loader

i am getting a problem with loading a file with SQL loader. The loading is getting
terminated after around 2000 rows whereas there are around 2700000 rows in the file.
The file is like
919879086475,11/17/2004,11/20/2004
919879698625,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
919879698628,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
the control file, i am using is like:-
load data
infile 'c:\ran\temp\pps_fc.txt'
into table bm_05oct06
fields terminated by ","
(mobile_no, fcal, frdate )
I hope, my question is clear. Please help, in solving the doubt.
regards.

So which thread is telling the truth?
Doubt with SQL loader file wih spaces
Are the fields delimited with spaces or with commas?
Perhaps they are a mixture of delimiters and that is where the error is coming in?

Load API with SQL Loader

Hi:
Does somebody know if it is possible to upload data using an API in SQL Loader? Or SQL Loader is limited only to INSERT statements?
I need to bulk a lot of employees and their usernames and resposibilities. They are almost 200 employees. What I would like to do is to create a csv file with all this information (first_name, last_name, hire_date, sex, email, if it is a purchaser, username, password, responsibility...), and through a request load all this to Oracle Ebs. I want to use hr_employee_api.create_employee, fnd_user_pkg.create_user and fnd_wf_engine.propagate_user_role. I don't want to enter data using inserts because hr_employee_api.create_employee api changes more than one table.
I hope you can help me
Thanks in advance

Why don't you
* load the data file into a temp table
* write a procedure that reads the temp table and calls the 3 APIs with the data from each row

Loading Objects with SQL*Loader

When loading a column object with SQL*Loader, is it possible to specify a column specific 'TERMINATED BY' clause in the control file?
I've successfully defined column-level termination characters for regular columns and nested tables, but can't seem to find any way of achieving the same result with column objects.

Hi,
I want to use sequence when loading data in sqll loader, but the problem is i could not use sequence object of oracle to load the data by sql loader, i can use sequence of sql loader.
I want to use sequence object because in later entries this sequence object will be used.If i use sequence of sql loader how can i use oracle sequence object
Is there any other option

I have a simillar problem, I also want to use a sequence when loading data by the SQL Loader.
My control file is:
load data

Problem with loading data using SQL LOADER

I am having following files with me when i run following command at command prompt
sqlldr scott/tiger@genuat control =c:\emp.ctl
then giving error as

can anyone tell me what is problem in above file why data is not loaded in table??

I don't find any problem if you invoke the SQLLDR using the below command(and if you are certain that the control file resides in the C: drive).
sqlldr scott/tiger@genuat control =c:\emp.ctl
If this doesn't work then invoke the SQLLDR from the C: prompt itself.
sqlldr scott/tiger@genuat control=emp.ctl
It would locate the control file and check whether the sqlldr completes successfully?

Import and process larger data with SQL*Loader and Java resource

Hello,
I have a project to import data from a text file in a schedule. A lager data, with nearly 20,000 record/1 hours.
After that, we have to analysis the data, and export the results into a another database.
I research about SQL*Loader and Java resource to do these task. But I have no experiment about that.
I'm afraid of the huge data, Oracle could be slowdown or the session in Java Resource application could be timeout.
Please tell me some advice about the solution.
Thank you very much.

Error in loading data using SQL loader

I am getting a error like ‘SQL*Loader -350 syntax error of illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters’ while loading a file using SQL loader in RHEL. The command used to run SQL*Loader is:

Error while loading data using SQL*Loader

Hi All,
I am now in process of loading data from MS SQL to Oracle Database.
I am getting the data in excel format and i will convert them into csv.
Upto converting everything is working fine.
In MS SQL, table columns are case sensitive.
So i created those tables in oracle db as same.
There is one column "MaxNumber" which is of type float(49).
The column is case sensitive.
in the control file first i given as
"MaxNumber" "TO_NUMBER(:MaxNumber,'99,999.99')"
After executing the SQL*Loader i am getting the error
SQL*Loader-466: Column MAXNUMBER does not exist in table TABLEONE.
I changed the control file entry as
"MaxNumber" "TO_NUMBER(:"MaxNumber",'99,999.99')"
After the execution i got the error
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 13.
Expecting "," or ")", found "MaxDiscount".
"MaxNumber" "TO_NUMBER(:"MaxNumber",'99,999.99')"
Please Guide me in this issue.
Regards
Salih KM

What I'm saying is, verify the column name. Dont post if not possible.
Example follows, with one table intentionally "hidden".
SQL> create table "tEsT" ("MaxNumber" float, "MaxnumbeR" number);
SQL> select table_name,column_name from user_tab_columns where table_name like 't%';
TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME
tEsT                           MaxNumber
tEsT                           MaxnumbeR
teST                           iD
teST                           MaxNumberHth,

URGENT: Problems Loading files with SQL Loader into a BLOB column

Hi friends,
I read a lot about how to load files into blob columns, but I found errors that I can't solve.
I've read several notes in these forums, ine of them:
sql loader: loading external file into blob
and tried the solutions but without good results.
Here are some of my tests:
With this .ctl:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE mytable
REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
number1 INTEGER EXTERNAL,
cad1 CHAR(250),
image1 LOBFILE(cad1) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
1153,/opt/oracle/appl/myapp/1.0.0/img/1153.JPG,
the error when I execute sqlldr is:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 9.
Expecting "," or ")", found "LOBFILE".
image1 LOBFILE(cad1) TERMINATED BY EOF
^
What problem exists with LOBFILE ??
(mytable of course has number1 as a NUMBER, cad1 as VARCHAR2(250) and image1 as BLOB
I tried too with :
LOAD DATA
INFILE sample.dat
INTO TABLE mytable
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(cad1 CHAR(3),
cad2 FILLER CHAR(30),
image1 BFILE(CONSTANT "/opt/oracle/appl/myapp/1.0.0/img/", cad2))
sample.dat is:
1153,1153.JPEG,
and error is:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 6.
Expecting "," or ")", found "FILLER".
cad2 FILLER CHAR(30),
^
I tried too with a procedure, but without results...
Any idea about this error messages?
Thanks a lot.

> So you think that if one person put an "urgent" in the subject is screwing the problems of
other people?
Absolutely. As you are telling them "My posting is more important than yours and deserve faster attention and resolution than yours!".
So what could a typical response be? Someone telling you that his posting is more important by using the phrase "VERY URGENT!". And the next poster may decide that, no, his problem is evern more import - and use "EXTREMELY URGENT!!" as the subject. And the next one then raises the stakes by claiming his problem is "CODE RED! CRITICAL. DEFCON 4. URGENT!!!!".
Stupid, isn't it? As stupid as your instance that there is nothing wrong with your pitiful clamoring for attention to your problem by saying it is urgent.
What does the RFC's say about a meaningful title/subject in a public forum? I trust that you know what a RFC is? After all, you claim to have used public forums on the Internet for some years now..
The RFC on "public forums" is called The Usenet Article Format. This is what it has to say about the SUBJECT of a public posting:
=
The "Subject" line (formerly "Title") tells what the message is about. It should be suggestive enough of the contents of the message to enable a reader to make a decision whether to read the message based on the subject alone. If the message is submitted in response to another message (e.g., is a follow-up) the default subject should begin with the four characters "Re: ", and the "References" line is required. For follow-ups, the use of the "Summary" line is encouraged.
=
([url http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/rfc/1036.html]RFC 1036, the Usenet article format)
Or how about [url http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/dont.html]The seven don'ts of Usenet?
Point 7 of the Don'ts:
Don't try to catch attention by typing something foolish like "PLEASE HELP ME!!!! URGENT!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!" into the Subject line. Instead, type something informative (using normal mixed case!) that describes the subject matter.
Please tell me that you are not too thick to understand the basic principles of netiquette, or to argue with the RFCs that governs the very fabric of the Internet.
As for when I have an "urgent" problem? In my "real" work? I take it up with Oracle Support on Metalink by filing an iTAR/SR. As any non-idiot should do with a real-life Oracle crisis problem.
I do not barge into a public forum like you do, jump up and down, and demand quick attention by claiming that my problem is more important and more urgent and more deserving of attention that other people's problem in the very same forum.

Loading data by sql loader in oracle 10g on linux

I am trying to load data in Oracle 10g on linux by using sql loader, but getting error
Problem in log showing that field length of SURNAME field is more than table field size.

I checked the bad file and count number of characters, they are 64 characters.
When i am inserting individual record from bad file by sql loader, it is loading

Probably your database character set is multi-byte. That is %UTF8 or AL16UTF16%
Post your NLS Database Parameters value
select * from nls_database_parameters;
In General varchar2(65) by default means 65 BYTES unless
you have changed your Defalut NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter from BYTE to CHAR.
