Problems with SQL*Loader and java Runtime

Hi. I'm trying to start SQL*Loader on Oracle 8 by using Runtime class in this way:
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "c:\oracle\ora81\bin\sqlldr.exe parfile=c:\parfile\carica.par" );
/*If i insert this line my application never stops*/
p.waitFor();
}catch( Exception e ){
. I have seen that if lines to insert are less then 400 all works very fine, but if lines number is greater than 400, all data go in my tables but my log file is opened always in writing.Can anyone tell me why?
Thanks

Just a note if the executable "sqlldr.exe" does not stop (quit running) by itself the p.waitFor() will wait for ever.

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.

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

Problem with SQL connection and a Collection

hi all,
I have two problems with sql...
1. how can I assign the values of a resultset to a collection?
2. how can I close the sql connection, because when I close the statement and connection error shows me in the resultset
thanks!

Hello Pablo,
RetrivingResults In Collection:
1)   use getObject method, and assign it to collection.
          Collection c_obj=new ArrayList();
         while(rs.next())
                c_obj.add(rs.getInt(Project_ID), rs.getString(Project_Name));
Closing ResultSet
2)               The close() methos of ResultSet closes the ResultSet object, like bellow
                ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT a, b FROM TABLE2");
                rs.close(); //Closes the result set

Problem import csv file with SQL*loader and control file

I have a *csv file looking like this:
E0100070;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;1;2003-06-16;01C;75
E0100075;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;500;2003-06-16;01C;67
E0100440;EKKJ 2X2,5/2,5 1 KV;1;2003-06-16;01C;37,2

E0100455;EKKJ 2X4/4 1 KV;500;2003-06-16;01C;47,1
I want to import this csv file to this table:
create table artikel (artnr varchar2(10), namn varchar2(25), fp_storlek number, datum date, mtrlid varchar2(5), pris number);
My controlfile looks like this:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'e:\test.csv'
INSERT
INTO TABLE ARTIKEL
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ARTNR, NAMN, FP_STORLEK char "to_number(:fp_storlek,'99999')", DATUM date 'yyyy-mm-dd', MTRLID, pris char "to_number(:pris,'999999D99')")
I cant get sql*loader to import the last column(pris) as I want. It ignore my decimal point which in this case is "," and not "." maybe this is the problem. If the decimal point is the problem how can I get oracle to recognize "," as a decimal point??
the result from the import now, is that a decimal number (37,2) becomes 372 in the table

Set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS environment variable at OS level, before running SqlLoader :
$ cat test.csv
E0100070;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;1;2003-06-16;01C;75

Loading huge file with Sql-Loader from Java

Hi,
I have a csv file with aprox. 3 and a half million records.
I load this data with sqlldr from within java like this:
           String command = "sqlldr userid=" + user + "/" + pass
                    + "@" + service + " control='" + ctlFile + "'";
            System.out.println(command);
            if (System.getProperty("os.name").contains("Windows")) {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C " + command);
            } else {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh -c " + command);
            }it does what I want to, load the data to a certain table, BUT it takes too much time, Is there a faster way to load data to an oracle db from within java?
Thanks, any advice is very welcome

Problem with SQL*Loader loading long description with carriage return

I'm trying to load new items into mtl_system_items_interface via a concurrent
program running the SQL*Loader. The load is erroring due to not finding a
delimeter - I'm guessing it's having problems with the long_description.
Here's my ctl file:
LOAD
INFILE 'create_prober_items.csv'
INTO TABLE MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(PROCESS_FLAG "TRIM(:PROCESS_FLAG)",
SET_PROCESS_ID "TRIM(:SET_PROCESS_ID)",
TRANSACTION_TYPE "TRIM(:TRANSACTION_TYPE)",
ORGANIZATION_ID "TRIM(:ORGANIZATION_ID)",
TEMPLATE_ID "TRIM(:TEMPLATE_ID)",
SEGMENT1 "TRIM(:SEGMENT1)",
SEGMENT2 "TRIM(:SEGMENT2)",
DESCRIPTION "TRIM(:DESCRIPTION)",
LONG_DESCRIPTION "TRIM(:LONG_DESCRIPTION)")
Here's a sample record from the csv file:
1,1,CREATE,0,546,03,B00-100289,PROBEHEAD PH100 COMPLETE/ VACUUM/COAX ,"- Linear
X axis, Y,Z pivots
- Movement range: X: 8mm, Y: 6mm, Z: 25mm
- Probe tip pressure adjustable contact
- Vacuum adapter
- With shielded arm
- Incl. separate miniature female HF plug
The long_description has to appear as:
- something
- something
It can't appear as:
-something-something
Here's the errors:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "INV"."MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE", column
LONG_DESCRIPTION.
Logical record ended - second enclosure character not present
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table "INV"."MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE", column
ORGANIZATION_ID.
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
I've asked for help on the Metalink forum and was advised to add trailing nullcols to the ctl so the ctl line now looks like:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
I don't think this was right because now I'm getting:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "INV"."MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE", column LONG_DESCRIPTION.
Logical record ended - second enclosure character not present
Thanks for any help that may be offered.

I'm having the same problem.
One potential solutions is to use a custom SQL server JDBC driver instead of going through the ODBC bridge. This will minimize dependencies and should also improved performance. Hope this helps.

I have a problem with several rows, in which I'm getting the "Field in data file exceeds maximum length" error.
the DB field (referer) is a VARCHAR2(4000), and the field in the error rows never exceeds few hundred characters. According to Oracle docs I should be able to load fields which are no bigger than the DB field, what gives?
I tried the variation
referer CHAR "SUBSTR(:referer,1,100)"
for this field, which causes all the "referer" columns in the "good" rows to load no more than 100 characters, but the same error repeats for the same rows!
the input file is an IIS log, and the field is the REFERER field. its pure ASCII encoded, is there some character that cause Oracle to behave this way? is this a bug?
here is one "bad" row: the "bad" field starts with "ht
tp://web , is enclosed with quotes. I have replaced the client IP and other fields with xxx for privacy reasons.
after that, I have enclosed my CTL as well.
any help ?

BTW - I verified in the LOG file that the loader is reading my options for the columns as I described in the CTL. no problem there.

Problem with XML loading and xmlns

I'm having a problem with loading an XML file that was created by Filemaker. Filemaker will output an XML file using one of two different grammars. One outputs in a mostly standard form that I can use with one glitch. Flash CS4 AS3 seems to have a problem with the xmlns in one of the nodes.
Specifically:
<FMPDSORESULT xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult">
If I remove the xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult" the file loads properly and I can access the various fields with no problem. However, when I leave the xmlns=... in, it will trace out the XML properly but I can't access the fields using the code listed below. This is driving me crazy!
With the xmlns part in the XML file I get the following error when it tries to load the thumbnail files:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I need to have it so that the user can enter/edit data and simply output the XML file from Filemaker and then Flash will load up the unaltered XML file and show the info requested by the user. That is to say I could have the user open the XML file in a word processing application and have them delete the xmlns..., but that is rather cumbersome and not very user friendly.
I've tried every xml.ignore function I could find but it doesn't help. Hopefully someone out there can help
Thanks,
-Mark-

Hi,
I was trying to use xml namespaces, so in my application I receive an XML file from the server. The file has a namespace, so when I parse the file I need to specify the namespace:
I got the following piece of xml:
<ls:exchange xmlns:ls=".../tsw" xmlns:tm="http://kxa">
    <ls:projects>
         <tm:annotation id="" date="" action="getprojects" status="responseok"/>
    <ls:project id="" name="proj" description="..." owner="asss" release="2" />
        <ls:projectV id="" version="" creationdate="" modificationdate=""/ >
    </ls:project>
</ls:projects>
</ls:exchange>
and the following code
<mx:VBox label="WELCOME" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
      <mx:Tree id="tree" dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.project}" labelField="@name" width="300" height="100%" itemOpen="itemOpenEvt(event);" />
</mx:VBox>
So i want to display the content of the xml (project nodes”) in a tree view, but i don’t know how to includes the namespace"ls:" in the data provider “srv.lastResult.project”. can u help me it’s urgent.
sincerly

SQL Loader and Java

Hi,
I am using a Java Stored Procedure to invoke a SQL Loader process. The RDBMS Version is 8.1.7 on HP-UX 11. I invoke the procedure by calling: exec runcommand('sqlldr user=scott/tiger@orcl control=/home/mydir/ctlfile.ctl log=/home/mydir/logfile.log direct=true errors=550')
where runcommand is the name of the java stored procedure.
The SQL Loader process returns a value of 3 which is the return value for an Operating System Error. I am unable to find any errors related to the Operating System. Is there any particular environment variable which needs to be set before running the process.
I was able to run the same Java Stored Procedure on Personal Oracle on Windows XP without any problems.
TIA,
Ramesh

Hi,
Make sure that the path for data file in control file is correct.
Then it serves your purpose.
Otherwise, give full path to "sqlldr", then run it.
Please let me know the result.
Thanks

Help with sql statements and Java

Hi,
How can I create a string kind of like this
Select * From Students Where Name Like "Bob Burns";
As the sql statement might indicate I am using MS Access. I seem to be having problems with the double quotes required by the Like operator in MS Access, Java views that as a beginning of a string as oppposed to an actual string value.

Like this:
    Connection connection = null;
    PreparedStatement stmt = null;
    ResultSet res = null;
    try {
        connection = ...get from connection pool...;
        String sql = "select ... from ... where name like ?";
        stmt = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
        stmt.setObject(1, "%Bob%", java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);
        res = stmt.executeQuery();
        while (res.next()) { ...the usual...; }
    } finally {
        ...close res, stmt & return connection to pool...
    }You can try stmt.setString() instead of setObject() but rumor has it that some mssql drivers have a bug that makes setString() not work with "like", but oddly enough setObject() works.

Problems with sql developer and win 8 64 bit

Hi there,
It's my first time in this forum, I am a student programmer and I have many problems to install SQL Developer on Oracle Database 12c. I actually managed to install both, but I could not make them work. My question is SQL Developer works on the Windows 8 platform 64-bit?
I'm going crazy, help me please .... Thanks for a while!!!

SqlDeveloper should have no problem working in Win 8, but i do not think it's a supported platform yet.
The Database could be a little more troublesome, if you only need a working database environment to make experiments you could find the "pre-built" Virtual Machines useful.
For Win 8 and 12c try using the EA release of SQLDeveloper 4, because if I'm not mistaken the current 3.2.2 could have some problems with 12c.

By the way:
Have you considered using external tables?
They have more benefits than SQL*Loader...

Problem using SQL-LOADER and Unique Identifiers

I'm trying to load a fixed-length records file containing people names and phone numbers. Data is specified as follows
Toni Tomas66666666669999999999
Jose Luis 33333333330000000000
Notice that a maximum of 2 numbers can follow a person name, and 0000000000 means "no number specified".
I want to assign a unique identifier to people (instead of using the NAME field as a Primary Key) using an Oracle Sequence. I did that, but I don't know
how to assign the same id to each number.
Considering the 2 previous lines, desired result should be:
PEOPLE
======
1     Toni Tomas
2     Jose Luis
TEL_NUMBERS
===========
1     6666666666
1     9999999999
2     3333333333
In order to achieve that, my Control File looks like this
LOAD DATA
INFILE phonenumbers.txt
INTO TABLE people
     personID "mySequenceName.nextval", --an Oracle sequence
     name POSITION(1:10) CHAR
INTO TABLE tel_numbers
WHEN phonenumber !='0000000000'
     personID !!!DON'T KNOW HOW TO REFERENCE THE SAME ID!!!!
     phonenumber POSITION(11:20) CHAR
INTO TABLE tel_numbers
WHEN phonenumber !='0000000000'
     personID !!!DON'T KNOW HOW TO REFERENCE THE SAME ID!!!!
     phonenumber POSITION(21:30) CHAR
I tried lots of things, but anyone works:
a) reference the ID using something like ":\"people.personID\" (or similar aproaches)
b) using a BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER getting the CURRVAL value of the Sequence. This solution
does not work because it seems that all people is loaded before any telephone number. Hence,
all phone numbers are associated, wrongly, to the last person in the data file.
Does anyone know how can I solve this issue?
Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi V Garcia.
Information within the file is correct. Each line represents a COMPLETE record (Part of the line represents parent information and the rest is children data). As you can see in my first message, you can have more than one detail for a given master (i.e. two phone numbers):
Toni Tomas66666666669999999999
(10 chars for the name, 10 for each phone number. Thus, 2 children records to be created)
With the solution given by Sreekanth Reddy Bandi (use of CURRVALUE within the SQL-Loader Control File), not all the details are linked to the parent record on the DB tables. It seems SLQ-Loader gets crazy when there is such amount of information.
