Sql loaded installation in UNIX

We installed Oracle client on our unix server by downloading client from the recommended ftp server. However, we are not seeing sqlldr in the bin directory. Is there a seperate install for this? we can see all other utilities such as sqlplus.
How can I get sqlldr?
thanks

Hi, you must install the Client with Administrator option for install the sql loader and other tools for manage the database. Please review the next link for get more information about of your question.

Which option did you select for installation? Administrative/RunTime?

Sql Loader problem in UNIX

Oracle version: 11g
I am having a problem in UNIX box where my datafile is delimited by "|". The last field is ITM_CMNT declared as VARCHAR2(60) in Oracle. When I have exactly 60bytes in the last field it rejects the record saying actual 61 and max allowed is 60. If i reduce it to < 60bytes then it is stored as a value enclosed with double quotes. The enclosing double quote is on the next line. Something like this...
"PROC,RAM,FLPY,HD,ACT MTX CLR DSP,D/PCMCIA,TRKBAL,LIT ION BA
Expected: the one below is exactly 60bytes and it should load just like below. Not sure what should I add to control file. If i add an "|" at the end of last field then 60bytes of item comments is loaded but we can't add that since there is no other field to map/load into the table. Ideally data should be A|B|C rather than |A|B|C|.

I have tried the following but didnt help.
1. Data file and control files are transferred through ASCII format. It's usually default to Auto mode but i have tried manually setting to Ascii mode.
2. I opened the file using VI editor in UNIX and didnt see any weird or special characters at the end of each record.
3. The only time all the 60 bytes get loaded is If I add a pipe at the end.
4. It loads all the records appended with double quotes like I described above when it is less than 60 bytes.
5. I downloaded the bad file from unix and ran it in windows and all the bad records were loaded successfully.
Not sure what else should I try.

HELP: SQL*LOADER AND Ref Column

Hallo,
I have already posted and I really need help and don't come further with this
I have the following problem. I have 2 tables which I created the following way:
CREATE TYPE gemark_schluessel_t AS OBJECT(
gemark_id NUMBER(8),
gemark_schl NUMBER(4),
gemark_name VARCHAR2(45)
CREATE TABLE gemark_schluessel_tab OF gemark_schluessel_t(
constraint pk_gemark PRIMARY KEY(gemark_id)
CREATE TYPE flurstueck_t AS OBJECT(
flst_id NUMBER(8),
flst_nr_zaehler NUMBER(4),
flst_nr_nenner NUMBER(4),
zusatz VARCHAR2(2),
flur_nr NUMBER(2),
gemark_schluessel REF gemark_schluessel_t,
flaeche SDO_GEOMETRY
CREATE TABLE flurstuecke_tab OF flurstueck_t(
constraint pk_flst PRIMARY KEY(flst_id),
constraint uq_flst UNIQUE(flst_nr_zaehler,flst_nr_nenner,zusatz,flur_nr),
flst_nr_zaehler NOT NULL,
flur_nr NOT NULL,
gemark_schluessel REFERENCES gemark_schluessel_tab
Now I have data in the gemark_schluessel_tab which looks like this (a sample):
1 101 Borna
2 102 Draisdorf
Now I wanna load data in my flurstuecke_tab with SQL*Loader and there I have problems with my ref column gemark_schluessel.
One data record looks like this in my file (it is without geometry)
1|97|7||1|1|
If I wanna load my data record, it does not work. The reference (the system generated OID) should be taken from gemark_schluessel_tab.
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
TRUNCATE
CONTINUEIF NEXT(1:1) = '#'

Is there a error I made?

Issues in calling Sql Loader through forms developer (10g)

Hi,
I am developing a form(in 10g) ,in which I am calling sql loader for loading data onto a oracle database table from external source (e.g. data file is a .CSV file).
But , somehow the sql loader is not getting executed.
Here , I am giving the environment settings , approach i am taking;
This is a distributed system , both the application server,and database server are mounted on two different servers.
The form is delpoyed on the application server.
The database table , and the sql loader are configured on the databse side.
I am using host(<sql loader command>) command to invoke the Operating System command through forms.
The sql loader is working ok , and the data is getting loaded successfully onto the required database table when I am executing the sql loader command on Unix prompt , but through the forms , it's not working.
Do I need to change some environmental setting to make this work...
Any quick help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Craig,
I have already tried out the option of calling sql loader through stored procedure,but this is not working ...
could you please share any examples to do so ...
code snippet i am using in forms:
declare
usid get_application_property(userid);
pwd get_application_property(password);
db get_application_property(host);
msqlldr varchar2(250);
begin
msqlldr:='/u01/oracle/formss/bin/sqlldr' username=<uid/pwd@db> control=<control file name> data=<data file name> log=<log file name>
hosts(msqlldr);
end;
Note that sqlldr command ,for that matter any unix shell command is not working through the hosts() command ...
could you please suggest any way out ...
Thanks.

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 and pipe on unix

On unix is it possible to pipe the data to be loaded in to SQL*Loader instead of reading it from file? I have a program that generates data that is to be loaded, and it is a bit waste of time to first save it to file, just to read it back in.

Yes, it's possible :

SQL Loader - Load multiple files in UNIX

HI all, I'm looking for a bit of help with using SQL LOADER to load multiple files into one table. I've had a look on the forums but still struggling with this one.
What I want to do is basically upload everything thats in /home/ib. I know you can use INFILE for several files in the control file but I have several hundred files to upload so this isn't practical. Can I pass the directory name as an INFILE parameter?
Any help would be appreciated.

On Unix you shouldn't worry about that. See this example :

Concatenating 2 files in Unix and passing as input to SQL loader program

Hi,
I have 2 files file1_DDMMYY.csv and file_2_DDMMYY.csv
I want to insert the 2 files using SQL Loader
I am using the all_directories table to look at the directory path and file name passed for example \test\sdf\test\file_1_DDMMYY.csv
I am presently using INFILE * in the Control File.Does it will take care of the 2 files for loading?Also the file naming convention may vary depending upon the dates.for example it can have file_1_210214.csv or file_1_220214.
Can we using concatenate and call the unix shell script and combine the 2 files to one and load the data using sql loader??
How will be process of calling the shell program and pass the 2 files and combine it to one. (cat file_1_DDMMYY.csv file_2_DDMMYY.csv > file_1_DDMMYY.csv)

SQL Loader step hangs in unix script

Hi,
We have a nightly job that separately truncates 6 tables and then loads them with flat file data. It works fine almost always.
Eight months ago and then yesterday, one of the 6 load steps(not the same table) hung up and did nothing.
Reruns ran fine.
We have a web page that looks at this data. I'm wondering if a user hitting enter just as sql loader wanted to truncate the table might be the problem. Or maybe too many connections are being requested at the time.
Is there any sort of retry capability within sql loader or anything else worth attempting?
We have to run this in the evening, not late at night.
thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
Then you must have scheduled job using Cron or some other scheduler.
You can create one more job and you can schedule it after current job. If you have one of the advanced scheduler then you will be able to set dependency. So, that as first job (of truncating and reloading data) completes, second job will start. Otherwise you can take in consideration the expected completion time and schedule second job after that amount of time.
Then you need to grep the log to find out which tables reload completed and which didn't. ReRun the job for tables which didn't run in first run.
Hope it helps!
Regards,
Arpit
