SQL LOAD in oracle apps

Has anyone had an issue using SQLLOADER in ORACLE APPS?
I get an error I change my CTL file and the error is referencing my old CTL file.
Example:
I got and error on REVIEW_DATE MM/DD/YYYY
I change it to 'MM/DD/YYYY' move the file but sql loader gives me the same error.
I removed the MM/DD/YYYY' from the file and it still errors referencing MM/DD/YYYY
Any Ideas

try to post your SQL*Loader Control File so that we can see what might be the problem and also the exact error.

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.
Following is the error in log file of sql loader
Record 21: Rejected - Error on table TABLE1, column
SURNAME.
ORA-12899: value too large for column SURNAME (actual: 65, maximum: 64)
and it is evident from following controlfile that i am using trim to discard any space then why it is giving an error.
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TABLE1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
OPTION1 CHAR,
REF1 CHAR,
OTHER_REF CHAR,
TITLE "TRIM(:TITLE)",
FORENAME "TRIM(:FORENAME)",
SURNAME "TRIM(:SURNAME)",
JOINT_TITLE "TRIM(:JOINT_TITLE)",
JOINT_FORENAME "TRIM(:JOINT_FORENAME)",
JOINT_SURNAME "TRIM(:JOINT_SURNAME)",
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.

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 and Oracle 11g

Hello,
Im receiving an sqlldr: not found error. Im getting ready to talk with our System Admin about the situation. Before I do I wanted to make sure that SQL Loader (sqlldr) is an available add-on for the Oracle 11 client. A co-worker mentioned that SQLLDR may not be available as an add-on in the Oracle 11 client and that we would need to use IMPORT/EXPORT instead. Is this a true statement?
Can someone please clarify these issues for me?
Thanks a bunch!

SQL*Loader is certainly available in either the 11.1 or 11.2 full client install. It may or may not be a component that is installed by default depending on the type of install you select during the installation process. But you can always go back and install that component.
If you are talking about the Instant Client, I'm not sure that either SQL*Loader or import and export work with the Instant Client.
And just to point it out, if you're using 11g, you would generally want to be using external tables rather than SQL*Loader.

Calling Sql*Loader from oracle Form builder

How do i call sql* loader from my forms to import the external data in different formats into my existing database?
Specify the flexibility of sql* loader to import external data from .txt files or .xls files.
Would be thankful if certain examples are given along with the answer.

Hi,
1. First you have to create seperate ctl (Control files) which maps to different file formats
2. Using Oracle Forms,
2a) You can use the 'HOST' command to execute the command line ie. In this case executing
SQL*Loader script
2b) You also have the feature in ORACLE forms to read text files and load the data into
ORACLE db.
This can be achieved by using TEXT_IO package which comes with ORACLE Forms.
Hope this helps

Problems using SQL*Loader with Oracle SQL Developer

I have been using TOAD and able to import large (milllions of rows of data) in various file formats into a table in an Oracle database. My company recently decided not to renew any more TOAD licenses and go with Oracle SQL Developer. The Oracle database is on a corporate server and I access the database via Oracle client locally on my machine. Oracle SQL Developer and TOAD are local on my desktop and connected through TNSnames using the Windows XP platform. I have no issues with using SQL*Loader via the import wizard in TOAD to import the data in these large files into an Oracle table and producing a log file. Loading the same files via SQL*Loader in SQL Developer, freezes up my machine and I cannot get it to produce a log file. Please help!

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04. Yes, I have tried it with a smaller file with no success. What is odd is that the log file is not even created. What is created is a .bat file a control file and a .sh file but no log file. The steps that I take:
1.Right click on the table I want to import to or go to actions
2. Import Data
3. Find file to import
4. Data Preview - All fields entered according to file
5. Import Method - SQL Loader utility
6. Column Definitions - Mapped
7. Options - Directory of files set
8. Finish
With the above steps I was not able to import 255 rows of data. No log file was produced so I don't know why it is failing.
thanks.

Data Loading in Oracle Apps

Hi,
We need to load Data for around 6,00,000 records in Oracle Apps R12.1.1.
Please let me know the best practices for ensuring Data Load happens at the earliest.

For such large volume, you should use Oracle API / interface tables.
Check the following to see what is available.

SQL Load from Oracle into 64 bit Essbase 9.3.1 - issue

I have a sql load that works fine in 32 bit Essbase 7.1.5
Now I have setup the same sql load in a new 64 bit Essbase 9.3.1 environment. SQL runs. However when it retrieves it is not retrieving some fields "correctly". For example I have some extract functions in the SQL to extract the month or year from a date field. These are returning "0" now for the month or year. (the function syntax is correct as it works in the 7.1.5 environment. Plus for all my fields that are returning numeric dollar values, they are returning a value of "0" instead of the correct value (which it returns in the 7.1.5 environment).
The sql works correctly if run in SQLPlus. So Essbase is having the issue.
Any ideas?
Edited by: Sean V on Jun 5, 2009 7:48 AM

Hi Sean,
If you can do it yourself or someone else who can do it for you,
create a view in your db schema you are connected to and use a tool like Oracles SQLDeveloper (it's for free) or something similar to check your query result by select from your view.
This way you can hide your internal logic behind this view and no one has to worry about it.
From my POV this approach has no drawback but only advantage for you.
If it works as expected put the view into your rules file (I do assume you are using rules files)
Example (you need the CREATE VIEW privilege for you account(schema)):
CREATE v_dataload as
SELECT DIM_COL1 as year , DIM_COL2 as month, DIM_COL3 as market , DATA_COL1 as profit, DATA_COL2 as costs .... etc.,
In you rules file you then just put in the SELECT box: year,month, profit, costs ...
and in the table box: v_dataload
If you name you columns like the Dimension (Gen1) you have the comfort that essbase automatically maps the columns tho the appropriate dimension. (But remember a colum in Oracle can have only up to 30 Characters)
Back to you question:
If you get a correct result from you view when using SQLDeveloper but not in you rules file I would say it's very likely a ODBC driver problem.
If so, please check if you have installed the correct driver for your system. MERANT driver is the best choice as fare as I know.
In normal cases you never should have to cast anything into a VARCHAR, since exactly this is the job of the ODBC driver.
However, if everything fails and a cast (like Glen said) is the only way you can make it work put this cast into your view too.
CREATE v_dataload as
SELECT TO_CHAR(DIM_COL1) as year , TO_CHAR(DIM_COL2) as month, TO_CHAR(DIM_COL3) as market ,TO_CHAR( DATA_COL1) as profit, TO_CHAR(DATA_COL2) as costs .... etc.,

Please help on this.

Why there are 2 into clauses? You need to change your query to fetch all columns first and then use into to fetch into variables.
