  • Problem loading XML-file using SQL*Loader

    Hello,
    I'm using 9.2 and tryin to load a XML-file using SQL*Loader.
    Loader control-file:
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE *
    INTO TABLE BATCH_TABLE TRUNCATE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    FILENAME char(255),
    XML_DATA LOBFILE (FILENAME) TERMINATED BY EOF
    BEGINDATA
    data.xml
    The BATCH_TABLE is created as:
    CREATE TABLE BATCH_TABLE (
    FILENAME VARCHAR2 (50),
    XML_DATA SYS.XMLTYPE ) ;
    And the data.xml contains the following lines:
    <?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">
    <batch>
    <record>
    <data>

    However, the sqlldr gives me an error:
    Record 1: Rejected - Error on table BATCH_TABLE, column XML_DATA.
    ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete

    If I remove the first two lines
    "<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
    and
    "<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">"
    from data.xml everything works, and the contentents of data.xml are loaded into the table.
    Any idea what I'm missing here? Likely the problem is with special characters.
    Thanks in advance,

    I'm able to load your file just by removing the second line <!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">. I dont have your dtd file, so skipped that line. Can you check if it's problem with ur DTD?

  • Loading data with dates using SQL*Loader

    Dear everyone
    I am currently trying to load some data containing dates using SQL*Loader.
    For termination of fields I have been using ^ because I have some book titles which contain " and ' as part of their title. I found that the TO_DATE function did not seem to work using ^ instead of ". Would I be correct? I think the Oracle manual says that " must be used.
    After some Web research I eventually amended my control file to as follows:
    load data
    infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
    REPLACE
    into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
    fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    (scan_id, scan_filename
    file_format_id
    orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
    scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
    scanning_date "TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
    original_map_publication_id
    reprint_publication_id)
    A simple line of data is as follow:
    280001, ^1910 - London^, 270001, 400, 250001, 260001, "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')", 200019,
    The final column being null.
    However when I attempt that I get the following error message:
    Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
    ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
    If I change the scanning_date part to:
    scanning_date "EXPRESSION TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    or
    scanning_date "CONSTANT TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    I get the error message:
    Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
    ORA-00917: missing comma
    As soon as I do the following:
    scanning_date "EXPRESSION, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    or
    scanning_date "CONSTANT, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
    I get too many values error message:
    Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO.
    ORA-00913: too many values
    I also tested out scanning_date DATE "YYYY-MM-DD", but that just gave the same ORA-01841 error message as above.
    I must be doing something very simple which is wrong but I cannot figure it out.
    Kind regards
    Tim

    And why do you have scanning date as "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')" in your infile? All you need is 2007-06-06. If you can not change infile generation code, use:
    load data
    infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
    REPLACE
    into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
    fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    (scan_id, scan_filename
    file_format_id
    orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
    scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
    scanning_date "TO_DATE(REPLACE(REPLACE(:scanning_date,'TO_DATE('),'''YYYY-MM-DD'')'), 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
    original_map_publication_id
    reprint_publication_id)SY.

  • 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:

  • Using SQL Loader in a procedure

    Can we use SQL Loader in a stored procedure to load data in an Excel file into the database? If so, how. Also, how can it create a log file to save records that have not been loaded.

    You can..Try this out..
    CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "Host" AS
    import java.io.*;
    public class Host {
    public static void executeCommand(String command) {
    try {

    finalCommand[0] = "C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe";
    finalCommand[1] = "/y";
    finalCommand[2] = "/c";
    finalCommand[3] = command;
    final Process pr = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(finalCommand);
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
    try {
    BufferedReader br_in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
    String buff = null;
    while ((buff = br_in.readLine()) != null) {

  • Loading XML file using sql*loader (10g)

    Hi Everyone....
    I have a major problem. I have a 10g database and I need to use sql loader to load a large XML file into the database. This file contains records for many, many customers. This will be done several times and the number of records will vary. I want to use sql loader and load to a staging table, BUT SPLIT THE RECORDS OUT and add a sequence. I am having 2 problems.
    In the 10g documentation, when you want to split the records you use the BEGINDATA clause and indicate something (like a 0) for each instance of a record. Well my first file has 3,722 records in it. How do I know the number of records in each XML file?
    The second problem is that because this is XML, I thought that I could use ENCLOSED BY. But the start tag has an attribute /counter in it, sql*loader doesnt recognize the starting tag. (i.e.: start tag is: </CustomerRec number=1>
    end tag is: </CustomerRec> )
    So, I used TERMINATED BY '</CustomerRec>'. This will split out the records, but it will NOT include the ending tag of </CustomerRec> and when I use extract, I receive an XML parsing error.
    I have tried to get the ending tag using CONTINUEIF and SKIP. But those options are for "records" and not lines.
    Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 problems above. I am at my wits end and I need to finish this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Sorry.... here is an example of what my control file looks like. At the end, I have 92 "0", but remember, I have 3722 records in this first file.

  • Issue while loading a csv file using sql*loader...

    Hi,
    I am loading a csv file using sql*loader.
    On the number columns where there is data populated in them, decimal number/integers, the row errors out on the error -
    ORA-01722: invalid number
    I tried checking the value picking from the excel,
    and found the chr(13),chr(32),chr(10) values characters on the value.
    ex: select length('0.21') from dual is giving a value of 7.
    When i checked each character as
    select ascii(substr('0.21',5,1) from dual is returning a value 9...etc.
    I tried the following command....
    "to_number(trim(replace(replace(replace(replace(:std_cost_price_scala,chr(9),''),chr(32),''),chr(13),''),chr(10),'')))",
    to remove all the non-number special characters. But still facing the error.
    Please let me know, any solution for this error.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Using SQL Loader script in a Stored Procedure

    Can I use SQL Loader script in a stored procedure and then execute it from a front-end appl.? The reason for this seemingly convoluted solution is that the users don't want a batch load though the records volume is quite high (around 1 mil). Other loads using ODBC connection or OLE DB seem to be inferior to SQL Loader.

    I would suggest a couple of solutions:
    1. Have a cgi script that can upload the file to the server from a web ui, then have the cgi script call the sql*loader file, and it will insert into the database.
    2. You can try to use External tables. This is avaliable in 9i and onwards. You will be able to make any sql DML on the external table.
    I would normally use sql*loader, move the data to a staging table with nologging, and paralle loading. After it has been loaded into the staging table I would process it into my main tables. Have used this approach with up to 60 million records in one load.
    You can do calls to C procedures, Pro*C procedures through PLSQL, as well as java calls, or use Java stored procedures.
    My experience is that SQL*Loader is the fastest way to load data into the database.

    sqlldr userid=scott/tiger control=ulcase1.ctl log=ulcase1.logSearch on you Windows XP oracle directory for *.ctl you will find there are files the control loader files used to create/populate the records for the demo schema. So if you can dig deeper you will find more things demos of sql/java/procedures etc.
    I am assuming you have installed oracle on you Windows XP, if not install and check it out.

  • Using SQL Loader in more than one table

    Hi all,
    I have a new question for those who have used SQL Loader. I
    have never used it and I just know that I need a control file to
    tell SQL Loader what is my flat file layout and what table the
    information goes to. My problem is: my flat file has information
    that goes to two tables in my schema. Those files are very big
    (aprox 280Mb) and I would like to read them just once. Can I do
    this with SQL Loader?
    Other question, is that the fastest way to import data from
    flat files becouse I am using PERL and it takes aprox. 9 hours
    to import 10 of those files. I could use UTL_FILE to read it but
    I heard that SQL Loader was better.
    Thanks for your cooperation

    SQL*Loader is the fastest way to load, particularly in direct parallel mode, and can certainly load to multiple tables.

    My advice would be to have a look at the examples given in the Oracle Utilities guide, there is one for loading to multiple
    tables, which I have pasted below.

    -- PROJ has two columns, both not null: EMPNO and PROJNO
    WHEN projno != &#8217; &#8217;
    (empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,

  • Using SQL Loader to insert data based on conditionally statements

    I would like to use sql loader to insert records from a single text file into an Oracle database table. Sounds easy but the problem is that I need to check the existence of data in another table (Table A) before data can be loaded into Table B.
    Table A has two columns: dept_no (primary key value) and dept_name (char)
    Table B has five columns: emp_no (primary key value), dept_no (foreign key value to Table A), employee (char), job_title (char) and salary (number)
    Text File looks like this:
    Finance Jones President 10000
    HR Smith Admin 2000
    HelpDesk Jenkins Technician 3000
    Problem:
    1. I need sql loader to insert records into Table B by first checking if the first field in the file is in Table A.
    2. If value exists get it's dept_no value.
    3. If value doesn't exist discard record ( I might want to have sql loader insert a new record for this into Table A)
    4. Using value from #2, insert the value in Table B for dept_no column.
    5. Also assign a sequence value for the emp_no value in Table B.
    Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    I am not sure this is possible with SQL loader. I would rather use an external table based on your file.
    Then, I would use SQL to load your data into your table, based on your conditions.
    Your request is not very complicated, writing the SQL to do that will be really more simple than trying to do it with SQL loader.
    Hope it will help.

  • Loading from text file using Sql Loader

    I need to load data from a text file into Oracle table. The file has long strings of text in the following format:
    12342||||||Lots and lots of text with all kinds of characters including
    ^&*!#%#^@ etc.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyytrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
    uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurtgggggggggggggggg.||||||||
    45356|||||||||||again lots and lots of text.uuuuuudccccccccccccccccccccd
    gyhjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkklllllllllllnmmmmmmmmmmmmnaaa|||||||.
    There are pipes within the text as well. On the above example, the line starting with 12342 is an entire record that needs to be loaded into a CLOB column. The next record would be the 45356 one. Therefore, all records have a bunch of pipes at the end, so the only way to know where a new record starts is to see where the next number is after all the ending pipes. The only other thing I know is that there are a fixed number of pipes in each record.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can load the data into the table either using sql loader or any other utility? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • ORA-01003 when using SQL*Loader

    Hi people,
    Can anyone shed some light on this.
    We have a multitasked dataload operation that is using SQL*Loader and on occasion we're seeing some rows failing due to ORA-01003 no statement parsed. Could this be due to some shortage of a database resource (cursors, connections ??) or are there other well known reasons for this.
    Any help appreciated.
    Regards
    Andy

    Check those registers ( rows ) in the bad file or in the discard file. If the register(s) are in the discard file is because the register ( row ) does not complete the requirements of denoted in the controlfile file and if those registers are in the error file is because the database is rejecting them according to constraints and so on.
    Conclusion: realize in what file those rows are being stored after to be rejected.

  • Table Update using SQL Loader

    Hi All,
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
    I am working on Loading a file using SQL Loader.
    I have loaded all the records (20Million) in to a table which has 30 columns.
    Issue : Now i got a new layout for same Data file, Which already has 5 new columns at the end which we didn't loaded.
    I have created the CTL file with New columns but can i update only those 5 new columns into the table. Is that Possible?
    Or should i truncate and do it from the scratch....Please suggest me...
    Thanks

    SQL*Loader does not update; It only inserts. You could load the data into a staging table, then use SQL to update, but that would be slower than just starting over. So, you should just reload the whole file, including the new columns, using the REPLACE in the SQL*Loader control file, instead of APPEND. That will overwrite any existing data.
