Possibility of capturing data file name in SQL * Loader

Hi,
I have a requirement to capture the data file name in the staging table, is there a way that i can capture it in SQL * Loader or any other way of doing it.
Need experts suggestion please.
Thanks,
Genoo

Hi Genoo.
how do we capture the file name and stores in the temporary table
You may use the above command mentioned in my previous post (if Linux) to populate the Test.csv file with the available file name in the directory, i.e:
ls /some/path/*.dat | xargs -n1 basename > /home/oracle/Test.csv
1. Ensure to first load the Test.csv file as for eg:
1,aaa
2,bbb
3,ccc
2. Create a control file to load these records into temporary tables,for eg:
load data
infile '/home/oracle/Test.csv'
into table file_name_upload
fields terminated by ","
( id, file_name )
3. Create the respective table in the database:
create table file_name_upload
id number,
file_name varchar2(20)
4. Load the data into temporary table
sqlldr test/test control=/home/oracle/sqlldr_test.ctl

Can We rename BAD File name in SQL Loader

Hi All,
Can we rename BAD File name in SQL loader?
If yes, how?
Thanks in Advance,
S

Hi,
You can rename the bad file before running SQL*Loader, or specify the name of the bad file using the BADFILE clause followed by a filename. If you do not specify a name for the bad file, the name defaults to the name of the datafile with an extension or file type of .bad

Is it possible to know the file name of images loaded?

Hi:
I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich names I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them
1. The PHP script reads file names and returns a string with names separated by a "|" char, then I use the split method to store them in imagesNames array and sort it
2. I loop trough imagesNames array loading images
3. Anytime a new image arrives I push it in imagesContainer array and check if all images are loaded to show them
The problem is there's no guarantee they arrive in the same order they were requested. So, how I sort the imagesContainer array by file name, i.e. in the same order they are in imagesNames array?
Thanks in advance

if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
function loadImages() {
for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
Output window:

Insert data file name into table from sql loader

Hi All,
I have a requirement to insert the data file name dynamically into table using sql loader.
Example:
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test_ctl.ctl data=test_data.dat
test_ctl.ctl
LOAD DATA
FILED TERMINATED BY ','
INTO TABLE test
(empid number,
ename varchar2(20),
file_name varchar2(20) ---------- This should be the data file name which can be dynamic (coming from parameter)
test_data.dat
1,test
2,hello
3,world
4,end
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anuj

you'll probably have to write your control file on the fly, using a .bat or .sh file
rem ===== file : test.bat ========
rem
rem ============== in pseudo speak =============
rem
rem
echo LOAD DATA > test.ctl
echo FILED TERMINATED BY ',' >> test.ctl
echo INTO TABLE test >> test.ctl
echo (empid number, >> test.ctl
echo ename varchar2(20), >> test.ctl
echo file_name constant %1% >> test.ctl
echo ) >> test.ctl
rem
rem
rem
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test.ctl data=test_data.dat
rem =============== end of file test.bat =======================

Want To Capture The File name Using the SQL Loader

Hi,
I Am loading The Data To Staging Table Using The SQL*developer, The File That need to be Loaded Will be One Of The Input To the SQL*Loader Concurrent Program.
In One Of The Column Of My staging Table I want To Put The File name.
Can We do the Same.
thanks,
Ankit

Not unless you generate the loader controlfile dynamically.. try this.. pass file name as $1 first parameter. Use the below example and modify as per your requirement
1) create table with following table structure
create table temp_table (x varchar2(20),file_name varchar2(30));
2) create data file - test.dat (contains only values for x)
abc
def
geh
ggg
fff
3) create a host file host file - test.sh with following content:
echo "load data
infile $1
append
into table temp_table
fields terminated by ','
(x,
file_name constant "$1")" > test.ctl
sqlldr <usr>/<pwd>control=test.ctl
4) run the host file from unix prompt with data file name as parameter (ensure test.sh has execute permissions)
test.sh test.dat
Hope this helps

SQL*Loader to insert data file name during load

I'd like to use a single control file to load data from different files (at different times) to the same table. I'd like this table to have a column to hold the name of the file the data came from. Is there a way for SQL*Loader to automatically do this? (I.e., as opposed to running an update query separately.) I can edit the control file before each load to set a CONSTANT to hold the new data file name, but I'd like it to pick this up automatically.
Thanks for any help.
-- Harvey

Hello Harvey.
I've previously attempted to store a value into a global/local OS variable and use this within a SQL*Loader control file (Unix OS and Oracle versions between 7.3.4 and 10g). I was unsuccessful in each attempt and approach I could imagine. It was very easy to use a sed script to make a copy of the control file, changing a string within it to do this however.
Do you really want to store a file name on each and every record? Perhaps an alternative would be to use a relational model. Create a file upload log table that would store the file name and an upload # and then have the SQL*Loader control file call a function that would read that table for the most recent upload #. You'll save some disk space too.
Hope this helps,
Luke

Sql loader:loading data file name to one of the tabe column.

Hi,
I want to load the data file name also to one of the table column.
Table structure:
File_Name varchar2
Name varchar2
Age number
Data File Format:
Vijay|24
Anandh|24
Senthil|26
In the above eg how to write a control file to load the data file name to the File_Name column of the table.
Note:
The shell script will first pick up the data files to be loaded and calls the control file.
Thanks,
Vijay.

From a unix load perspective this is what we have done :
Create a control file (say load_data.ctl) something like
LOAD DATA
append
Into table file_name_age
File_Name constant '<FILENAME>',
Name CHAR TERMINATED BY '|'
Age INTEGER EXTERNAL TERMINATED BY '|' )
in a unix loop do the following
for i in `ls $LOADDIR` ; do
#Replace <FILENAME> with actual filename and create a temp ctl file
sed s/\<FILENAME\>/${1}/g < ${CTLDIR}/load_data.ctl > ${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
#load using temp file
sqlldr / CONTROL=${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
DATA=$i
#remove temp
rm ${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
done
Where
${TMPDIR}=your temp directory
${CTLDIR}=where your main directory for ctl files
$LOADDIR=Your data directory

How to store data file name in one of the columns of staging table

My requirement is to load data from .dat file to oracle staging table. I have done following steps:
1. Created control file and stored in bin directory.
2. Created data file and stored in bin directory.
3. Registered a concurrent program with execution method as SQL*Loader.
4. Added the concurrent program to request group.
I am passing the file name as a parameter to concurrent program. When I am running the program, the data is getting loaded to the staging table correctly.
Now I want to store the filename (which is passed as a parameter) in one of the columns of staging table. I tried different ways found through Google, but none of them worked. I am using the below control file:
OPTIONS (SKIP = 1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE '&1'
APPEND INTO TABLE XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
COUNTRY_NAME
,COUNTRY_CODE
,ORDER_CATEGORY
,ORDER_NUMBER
,RECORD_ID "XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB_S.NEXTVAL"
,FILE_NAME CONSTANT "&1"
,REQUEST_ID "fnd_global.conc_request_id"
,LAST_UPDATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,LAST_UPDATE_DATE SYSDATE
,CREATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,CREATION_DATE SYSDATE
,INTERFACE_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
,RECORD_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
I want to store file name in the column FILE_NAME stated above. I tried with and without constant using "$1", "&1", ":$1", ":&1", &1, $1..... but none of them worked. Please suggest me the solution for this.
Thanks,
Abhay

Date, File name, User Stamp

I've looked for hours for a script that will work in Illustrator CS4 that will put a text block on the page identifying:

I am not versed in scripting. Can anyone help me out?

Hi Y'all This post is where scripting all started for me. At the time I didn't know anything and Muppet Mark kindly helped me out. Since then I have learned Applescript and written my slug script in that. This has the advantage of being able to access system information. Here it is:
-- captures the user's first name from the system for use in dialog boxes
set myName to (long user name of (system info))
set sp to (offset of " " in myName)
set myFirstName to text 1 thru (sp - 1) of myName
-- captures the user's short name from the system for use in the slug
set myShortName to (short user name of (system info))
set myInitials to text 1 thru 2 of myShortName

How to Capture the File Names of any extension using ssis

Hello,
Can you please let me know on how to Capture the File Names of any extension(EG : xls,text,.csv etc) at a time and stores in excel file using SSIS?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinay s

If you need to act differently on each file type separately or if not all types of files are wanted, i.e. the Filespecifier cannot be *.* in the Foreach loop:
In the ssis package
make 3 variables:
to store the file extension, e.g. User::CurrentExtension of type string
to store the filename found in the directory: @CurrentFilename
to store the name of the directory where the files reside e.g. User::CurrentDirectory
make a foreach loop of type Foreach Item enumerator:
in the items list you add each file extension that you need
txt
csv
xls
xlsx
As Variable mappings map the CurrentExtension to Index 0
Inside this foreach loop add another foreach loop of type Foreach File enumerator, in the collection Expressions
add Expression Directory , set to @[User::CurrentDirecotry]
add Expression FileSpec, set to "*." + @[User::CurrentFileExtension]
In the Variable mappings, map Variable user::CurrentFilename to Index 0
Inside this loop use Execute SQL Task to insert the filename in a Excel connection.

Is it possible to show data from two different sql tables?

Is it possible to show data from two different sql tables? Either to show combined data by using a join on a foreign key or showing a typical master detail view?
I have one table With data about a house, and another table With URL's to images in the blob. Could these two be combined in the same Gallery?
Best regards Terje F - Norway

Hi Terje,
If you have a unique key, you could use one of the following functions for your scenarios:
If you only have one image per house, you can use LookUp:

If you have multiple images per house, you can use Filter:
