Make sql*loader always create a bad file

on day 1, i run the sql*loader program to load table A; 6 records reject from the load and go to the bad file; our users have a link that they review to see the records in the bad file
on day 2, i run the sql*loader program to load table A; no records reject this time, so a bad file isn't created; however the link that was established for our users still points to the bad file from the previous day's run
is there a way to always create a bad file??? if no records reject from the load, i want sql*loader to create an empty bad file; this way our user's link will point to an empty file and they'll know there were no rejects

Try creating a dummy, empty .bad file (touch dummy_file.bad). At the beginning of your script copy the dummy over the top of the old one.
If SQL Loader doesn't need to create a new one, the dummy will remain. If it needs to create one, it will over write the dummy.
This is a roundabout way of doing this. There might be something easier.

    I have 2 input files with different encoding (apparent in case of special characters).
    File 1 loads successfully. For File 2 loader gives a memory fault while loading. Hence the log file is of 0 bytes. I still have no clue as to why is the loader giving a memory fault. It is not an OS level memory fault as analysed by the OS team. Please help!

  • SQL*Loader and unzipping with uploaded file

    hi, everybody
    i was trying to integrate some functionalities, today separated. i made a simple Apex page that uploads a file, and now i need to process that file.
    is there any way to process that uploaded file and load it onto a table, just like i'd do with Sql*Loader?
    in the same way, can i unzip an uploaded zip file, just like Oracle Portal 3.0.9 used to do in its contect areas with zip itens?
    thanks

    Hi, Ivo
    about ult_compress, ok. i'll check it out.
    talking about uploaded files, the only thing i've found were:
    a) download an uploaded file
    b) use an uploaded image to integrate in a web application.
    unfortunately, i didn't find anything that could help me process an uploaded text file the way i do with SQL*Loader.
    i'll keep on trying
    thanx

  • Regarding sql loader ---  can we have  control file  to do a check on csv?

    Hi,
    I normally get a csv having data as
    column1 ;columnb;columnc;
    13 ; 12 ; 13 ;
    11 ;13 ;33;
    as the table where it needs to go is say table
    xys( a number, b number , c number).
    so the control file is fairly simple ...
    But from now I need to restrict data entry if the change in format happens in the csv
    say if it is like
    column2;column1;column3,
    12,13;12;
    11;13;14;
    or say the csv like
    column1;column2;column3;column4;
    11;13;14;15;
    111;134;14;12;
    in both cases sql loader should not run and throw the error saying the reason in the log.
    how do i manage it in the control file `???
    any ideas???
    it is urgent pls help !!!

  • 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 ? "

  • SQL*Loader Error Field in data file exceeds maximum length", version 8.1.6

    Hi All,
    I am trying to load a data file into a database table using SQL loader. I
    received the data in an data file but I saved it as a pipe delimited
    file.
    When I run the SQL Loader command no records are loaded - looking at the log
    file I get the following error:
    Rejected - Error on table FARESDATA, column FANOTESIN.
    Then I tried with substr and doesnt seem to work for values greater than 4000 chars, it only works if the field value is below 4000 chars (say doing a substr for first 3000 chars).
    see the code--------
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'p.dat'
    APPEND INTO TABLE PROSPECTUS
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    Fanotesin char(4000) "substr(:fanotesin,1,4000)"
    We get the error ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column when using substr for 4000 chars.
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Rajesh
    null

    I believe the problem here is that the ORACLE database regards anything > 4000chs as a CLOB (or LONG). 4000 is the maximum length of a varchar2 field in the database, although of course you can declare larger values in PL/SQL. (Since the incoming data is > 4000 chs it is regarded as a LONG and you cannot therefore use SUBSTR on it)
    I think that you must either truncate your data before loading or load into a table with the offending field as a CLOB (or LONG)
    and then use PL/SQL to recreate it in a table with a varchar2(4000) which is otherwise identical. (You can select from a LONG into a varchar2(32000) for example and then truncate before writing out to the new table).

  • SQL*Loader - How to combine Flat File 3 columns and put into one single column

    Receive a flat file delimited by comma. Want to combine Flat File last 3 columns and put into one single column(Table).
    e.g.
    Flat File
    100,239,30,20,30
    While inserting into table want to combine last 3 columns and insert into invoice number column.
    302030

    It is not possible to combine the last 3 columns as those columns are seperated by commas and in the SQL Loader control file you must ve specified COMMA as an delimiter. So u better have all the columns in the table plus add one more column which holds the concatenation of the 3 columns.

  • One Concurrent Program, One SQL LOADER program for 85 different files

    I am looking to see if there is a way I can have one concurrent program and one control file to load all 85 files to 85 different tables at once. I really am hoping I don't have to write 85 different control files and 85 different concurrent programs. Can someone point me into the right direction or send examples. Thanks

    Hi!
    A way might be to have ONE data file that will include all the 85 types.
    E.g.
    File1|1298|invoice|...
    File1|1963|invoice|...
    File1|1045|invoice|...
    File2|0688|invoice|...
    File2|0198|invoice|...
    File3|4598|invoice|...
    In your control file use
    REPLACE INTO TABLE xx_file1_table
    WHEN RECORD_TYPE = 'File1'
    ....<list of fields>
    INTO TABLE xx_file2_table
    REPLACE
    WHEN RECORD_TYPE = File2'
    ....<list of fields>
    The only prob is that your data file size might be very big if u have lots of data to process.

  • Log file in Sql*Loader

    Hi,
    Sql loader always creates the logfile with same name as .ctl file,
    but i want log file should get created in case of unsuccessful run
    not in case of successful run.
    Is this possible.
    Regards,
    SS

    I don’t think it is possible to suppress log file generation on successful run. The Log file contains a detailed summary of the load and helps you to identify successful/fail load.

  • Using SQL LOADER in Oracle to import CSV file

    I'm pretty new to databases and programming. Im not very good with the computer lingo so stick with me. I have a csv file that I'm trying to load into my oracle database. It contains account information such as name telephone number service dates ect. I've installed Oracle 11g Release 2. This is what I've done so far step by step..
    1) Ran SQL Loader
    I created a new table with the columns that I needed. For example
    create table Billing ( TAP_ID char(10), ACCT_NUM char(10), MR_ID char(10), HOUSE_NUM char(10), STREET char(30), NAME char(50)
    2) It prompted me that the Table was created. Next I created a control file for the data in notepad which was located in the same directory as my Billing table and has a .ctl extension. GIS.csv is the file im getting the data from and is also in the same directory and named it Billing.ctl, which looked like so..
    load data
    infile GIS.csv
    into table Billing
    fields terminated by ','
    (TAP_ID, ACCT_NUM, MR_ID, HOUSE_NUM, STREET, NAME)
    3) Run sqlldr from command line to use the control file
    sqlldr myusername/mypassword Billing.ctl
    This is where I am stuck. Ive seen video tutorials of exactly what I'm doing but I get this error:
    SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 1.
    Expecting keyword LOAD, found "SERV TAP ID". "SERV TAP ID","ACCT NUMBER","MTR ID","SERV HOUSE","SERV STREET","SERV ^'
    I dont understand why its coming up with that error. My billing.ctl has a load.
    load data
    infile GIS.csv
    into table Billing
    fields terminated by ','
    (TAP_ID, ACCT_NUM, MTR_ID, SERV_HOUSE, SERV_STREET, SERV_TOWN, BIL_NAME, MTR_DATE_SET, BIL_PHONE, MTR_SIZE, BILL_CYCLE, MTR_RMT_ID)
    Any thoughts?

    I have thousands of records in this file and only 64 of them updated.How many record were in the table before and after? I doubt the difference is 64, unless you have exactly 64 rows but you said thousands. I believe you are probably misinterpreting the log file. can you share the full log file? As a test, create a empty table, use the same script and load same data file in this empty table. Once loading is complete, check if it has 64 rows or more. I believe what log file is saying, it is 'commiting after every 64 rows', not 'stopping after loading 64 rows'.
    So, unless you show us the log file there is no way to be certain, feel free to mask confidential info, at-least top 15 and bottom 15 lines ?

  • SQL*Loader with multiple files

    Gurus,
    I search the documentation and this forum and haven't found a solution to my issue yet...
    I am not expert of SQL*Loader. I have used SQL*Loader to copy from one file to a table many times. But I have not copied multiple files into one table especially with different names.
    More specifically....
    I need to load data from multiple files into a table. But the file names will be different each time. A file will be created every hour. The file name will consist of the root file name appended by a time stamp. For example, a file created on 10/07/2010 at 2:15 P.M. would be filea100720101415.txt while a file created on 10/08/2010 at 8:15 A.M. would be filea100820100815.txt. All the files will be in one directory.How can I load the data from the files using SQL*Loader?
    My database: Oracle 10g Release 2
    Operating System: Windows 2003 Server
    Please assist.

    RobertToo bad this isn't in *nix, where you get a powerful shell scripting capability. 
    That said, here is the core of the solution .... you will also need a way to identify files that have been processed vs. new ones. Maybe rename them, maybe move them. But with this sample you can see the basics. From there it is really an issue of DOS scripting, which would better be found by googling around a bit.
    cd c:\loadfiles
    FOR %%datfile IN (*.txt) DO SQLLDR CONTROL=sample.ctl, LOG=sample.log, BAD=baz.bad, DATA=%%datfileTry googling "dos scripting language". You'll find lots of tutorials and ideas on "advanced" (well, as advanced as DOS gets) techniques to solve your problem.

  • SQL Loader and foreign characters in the data file problem

    Hello,
    I have run into an issue which I can't find an answer for. When I run SQL Loader, one of my control files is used to get file content (LOBFILE) and one of the fields in the data file has a path to that file. The control file looks like:
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'PLACE_HOLDER.dat'
    INTO TABLE iceberg.rpt_document_core APPEND
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    doc_core_id "iceberg.seq_rpt_document_core.nextval",
    -- created_date POSITION(1) date "yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss",
    created_date date "yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss",
    document_size,
    hash,
    body_format,
    is_generic_doc,
    is_legacy_doc,
    external_filename FILLER char(275) ENCLOSED by '"',
    body LOBFILE(external_filename) terminated by EOF
    A sample data file looks like:
    0,2012-10-22:10:09:35,21,BB51344DD2127002118E286A197ECD4A,text,N,N,"E:\tmp\misc_files\index_testers\foreign\شیمیایی.txt"
    0,2012-10-22:10:09:35,17,CF85BE76B1E20704180534E19D363CF8,text,N,N,"E:\tmp\misc_files\index_testers\foreign\ลอบวางระเบิด.txt"
    0,2012-10-22:10:09:35,23552,47DB382558D69F170227AA18179FD0F0,binary,N,N,"E:\tmp\misc_files\index_testers\foreign\leesburgis_á_ñ_é_í_ó_ú_¿_¡_ü_99.doc"
    0,2012-10-22:10:09:35,17,83FCA0377445B60CE422DE8994900A79,binary,N,N,"E:\tmp\misc_files\index_testers\foreign\làm thế nào bạn làm ngày hôm nay"
    The problem is that whan I run this, SQL Loader throws an error that it can't find the file. It appears that it can't interpret the foreign characters in a way that allows it to find that path. I have tried adding a CHARACTERSET (using AL32UTF8 or UTF8) value in the control file but that only has some success with Western languages, not the ones listed above. Also, there is no set of defined languages that could be found in the data file. It essentaially could be any language.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to somehow get SQL Loader to "understand" the file system paths when a folder and/or file name could be in some other langauge?
    Thanks for any thoughts - Peter

    Thanks for the reply Harry. If I try to open the file in various text editors like Wordpad, Notepad, GVIM, andTextpad, they all display the foreign characters differently. Only Notepad comes close to displaying the characters properly. I have a C# app that will read the file and display the contents and it renders it fine. If you look at the directory of files in Windows Explorer, they all are displayed properly. So it seems things like .Net and Windows have some mechanism to understand the characters in order to render them properly. Other applications, again like Wordpad, do not know how to render them properly. It would seem that whatever SQL Loader is using to "read" the data files also is not rendering the characters properly which prevents it from finding the directory path to the file. If I add "CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8" in the control file, all is fine when dealing with Western langauges (ex, German, Spanish) but not for the Eastern languages (ex. Thai, Chinese). So .... telling SQL Loader to use a characterset seems to work, but not in all cases. The AL32UTF8 is the characterset that the Oracle database was created with. I have not had any luck if I try to set the CHARACTERSET to whatever the Thai character set is, for example. There problem there though is that even if that did work, I can't target specific lagauages because the data could come from anywhere. It's like I need some sort of global "super set" characterset to use. It seems like the CHARACTERSET is the right track to follow but I am not sure, and even if it is, is there a way to handle all languages.
    Thanks - Peter

  • Using SQL*Loader and UTL_FILE to load and unload large files(i.e PDF,DOCs)

    Problem : Load PDF or similiar files( stored at operating system) into an oracle table using SQl*Loader .
    and than Unload the files back from oracle tables to prevoius format.
    I 've used SQL*LOADER .... " sqlldr " command as :
    " sqlldr scott/[email protected] control=c:\sqlldr\control.ctl log=c:\any.txt "
    Control file is written as :
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'c:\sqlldr\r_sqlldr.txt'
    REPLACE
    INTO table r_sqlldr
    Fields terminated by ','
    id sequence (max,1) ,
    fname char(20),
    data LOBFILE(fname) terminated by EOF )
    It loads files ( Pdf, Image and more...) that are mentioned in file r_sqlldr.txt into oracle table r_sqlldr
    Text file ( used as source ) is written as :
    c:\kalam.pdf,
    c:\CTSlogo1.bmp
    c:\any1.txt
    after this load ....i used UTL_FILE to unload data and write procedure like ...
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE R_UTL AS
    l_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
    l_buffer RAW(32767);
    l_amount BINARY_INTEGER ;
    l_pos INTEGER := 1;
    l_blob BLOB;
    l_blob_len INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    SELECT data
    INTO l_blob
    FROM r_sqlldr
    where id= 1;
    l_blob_len := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(l_blob);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('blob length : ' || l_blob_len);
    IF (l_blob_len < 32767) THEN
    l_amount :=l_blob_len;
    ELSE
    l_amount := 32767;
    END IF;
    DBMS_LOB.OPEN(l_blob, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
    l_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('DBDIR1','Kalam_out.pdf','w', 32767);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('File opened');
    WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len LOOP
    DBMS_LOB.READ (l_blob, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Blob read');
    l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
    UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW(l_file, l_buffer, TRUE);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('writing to file');
    UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(l_file);
    UTL_FILE.NEW_LINE(l_file);
    END LOOP;
    UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(l_file);
    UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('File closed');
    DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_blob);
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    IF UTL_FILE.IS_OPEN(l_file) THEN
    UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file);
    END IF;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Its working at last');
    END R_UTL;
    This loads data from r_sqlldr table (BOLBS) to files on operating system ,,,
    -> Same procedure with minor changes is used to unload other similar files like Images and text files.
    In above example : Loading : 3 files 1) Kalam.pdf 2) CTSlogo1.bmp 3) any1.txt are loaded into oracle table r_sqlldr 's 3 rows respectively.
    file names into fname column and corresponding data into data ( BLOB) column.
    Unload : And than these files are loaded back into their previous format to operating system using UTL_FILE feature of oracle.
    so PROBLEM IS : Actual capacity (size ) of these files is getting unloaded back but with quality decreased. And PDF file doesnt even view its data. means size is almot equal to source file but data are lost when i open it.....
    and for images .... imgaes are getting loaded an unloaded but with colors changed ....
    Also features ( like FFLUSH ) of Oracle 've been used but it never worked
    ANY SUGGESTIONS OR aLTERNATE SOLUTION TO LOAD AND UNLOAD PDFs through Oracle ARE REQUESTED.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Thanks Justin ...for a quick response ...
    well ... i am loading data into BLOB only and using SQL*Loader ...
    I've never used dbms_lob.loadFromFile to do the loads ...
    i 've opend a file on network and than used dbms_lob.read and
    UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW to read and write data into target file.
    actually ...my process is working fine with text files but not with PDF and IMAGES ...
    and your doubt of ..."Is the data the proper length after reading it in?" ..m not getting wat r you asking ...but ... i think regarding data length ..there is no problem... except ... source PDF length is 90.4 kb ..and Target is 90.8 kb..
    thats it...
    So Request u to add some more help ......or should i provide some more details ??
