SQL*Loader-350: Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters

Hi all,
how to skip a column in control file.
i.e.
I have a table with 10 columns and FAT file contains 11 columns.
how to skip a last column ?
and
I added extra column to Table and I changed the control file too.
but i am getting error.
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 115.
Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters
thanks in Advance.

Tom Kyte has an elaborate solution on his page:
http://osi.oracle.com/~tkyte/SkipCols/index.html
Or post the table description and the control file, so we can have a look at it.

then the spooled file are used as control file let me show u the part of the script

The above pasted script spool it rersults into sqlldr_build_controlfile_header.ctl and
sqlldr_build_controlfile_detail.ctl.
But for some reason it doest not spool the expected results.

SQL*Loader-350 Error

I got a SQL*Loader-350 error due to a FILLER statement in my control file. I have known the cause is Concurrent Manager uses SQL*Loader 8.0.6 and the FILLER option is available from 8.1.7. The e-Business Suite version is 11.5.0.
May I upgrade SQL*Loader to 8.1.7 or it could generate inconsistences in the suite ?
I would appreciate your comments.
César Rengifo

it depends, upgrading the Oracle Home on an existing Oracle Technology Stack might not be viable option due to dependancies.
other method i can think of is install the new Oracle home in a different location, write a shell script for the concurrent job, the shell script will set the new environment installed and use the SQL Loader from the New Home to perform the Job.

SQL*Loaderの制御ファイルでSQL*Loader-350エラー

Oracle DB 11gR2 Standard Edition One
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
オフライン
こんにちは。
SQL*Loaderにて、データをロードしています。
データファイルに空白のみの項目があった場合にNULLが入るようにしたいのですが、
制御ファイルの演算の後にNULLIF ・・・をいれると以下のようなエラーがでてしまいます。
SQL*Loader-350: 行20に構文エラーがあります。
"､"または")"ではなくキーワードnullifが見つかりました。
, time "TO_DSINTERVAL('0 00:' || :time) NULLIF time=BLANKS
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　^
time列のデータ型は、INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND(1)です。
制御ファイルでは以下のように記述しています。
INTO TABLE test.t_test
REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( test_id
time "TO_DSINTERVAL('0 00:' || :time) NULLIF time=BLANKS )
NULLIF・・・を"TO_INTERVAL・・・"の前に書くと「間隔が無効です。」というエラーになります。
このような場合、どのように記述したらよいでしょうか？
また、この方法以外に空白のみの項目があった場合NULLが入るようにする方法が
ありましたら、教えていただければと思います。
よろしくお願い致します。

ご回答ありがとうございます。
time "DECODE(:time , ' ' , TO_DSINTERVAL('0 00:' || :time))"
で、正常にロードすることができました！
time "NVL2(TRIM(:time),TO_DSINTERVAL('0 00:' || :time),NULL)"
も試してみたのですが、ORA-01867：間隔が無効です。というエラーがでました。
間隔とは・・・？
今回したいことは、おかげさまで解決しましたので、このエラーについては別の機会に調べてみます。
ありがとうございました。

RegEx in TSQL - replace non-alphanumeric characters etc

Hi guys, I have this function in VB that I used in Access to replace all non-alphanumeric characters, including spaces and anything in brackets.
Public Function charactersonly(inputString As String) As String
Dim RE As Object
Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
RE.Pattern = "$[^)]+$|[^\w]|_"
RE.Global = True
charactersonly = RE.Replace(inputString, "")
Set RE = Nothing
End Function
Now, I moved to SQL server and I'm writing scripts to do same thing.
How can I use RegEx in TSQL?
Only thing I will do is that function.

As alternative
declare @string varchar(200)
set @string = 'gg$%^^&is%^& s2342jjk23&&({}e c76l232e+_+a#n/ c][#o''y#e'
select cast(cast((select substring(@string,n,1)
from numbers
where n <= len(@string)
and substring(@string,n,1) like '[0-9 ]' for xml path('')) as xml)as varchar(max))

Non-alphanumeric characters in textarea causing 404 errors

I'm only just becoming acquainted with Coldfusion, as I've been asked to fix a problem in an existing system. The system consists of a simple html form containing a text area, among other input fields. The form is submitted to a cfm script, which displays a confirmation page and sends a couple of emails. The problem is that whenever the user enters any (as far as I can tell) non-alphanumeric characters, e.g. quotes, commas or brackets, in the textarea field, they get a 404 response from the server.
I tried a number of things to identify the problem, including escaping the text in javascript before submission, but didn't get anywhere. The last thing I tried was installing a local version of the CF on my workstation, hoping to reproduce the problem and thus debug it more easily. However, on my local CF setup the problem does not occur.
Can anyone help me debug this please? Thanks,
Marcin

Thanks for your response. The form method is "post". The only thing that the CFM handler does with this field (gametestexperience) is include it at the bottom of an email message:

[solved] Non-alphanumeric characters broken in TinyChat

Hello, fellow archers.
I've been having a bit of trouble with the TinyChat site. Most non-alphanumeric characters are being displayed as crossed-out boxes. This problem is exclusive to TinyChat and has not occured in any other Flash applications.
An example of the broken characters:
Note how the / and > characters are not broken.
This is the second installation of ArchLinux on my computer, the problem occured on the current install only. I suspect the problem is caused by a missing package, though the only hint I was able to find was installing the ttf-ms-fonts package (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/br … ash_Player). This did not resolve the issue.
Package versions:
firefox 34.0.5-1
flashplugin 11.2.202.425-1
I'll gladly provide any other information that could help resolve this issue.

How to support non alphanumeric characters when using WORLD_LEXER?

BASIC_LEXER has an attribute of printjoins which we can specify the non alphanumberic characters as normal alphanumberic in query and included with the token. However, WORLD_LEXER doesn't have this attribute. So in order to use some non alphanumberic characters and treat them as alphanumberic characters in Oracle Text Index, such as ><$, what should I can?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I use WORLD_LEXER to create Oracle Text Index to support UTF-8.
Below is the script to create table and index:
REM Create table
CREATE TABLE my_test
( id VARCHAR2(32 BYTE) NOT NULL,
code VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT "my_test_pk" PRIMARY KEY ("id"));
REM create index
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('stars_lexer','WORLD_LEXER');
exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('stars_wordlist', 'BASIC_WORDLIST');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('stars_wordlist','substring_index','TRUE');
exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute('stars_wordlist','PREFIX_INDEX','TRUE');
-- create index for Table corrosion level
CREATE INDEX my_test_index
ON my_test(code)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS ('LEXER stars_lexer STOPLIST stars_stop WORDLIST stars_wordlist SYNC(EVERY "SYSDATE+5/1440") TRANSACTIONAL');
INSERT INTO my_test('1', 'English word1');
INSERT INTO my_test('2', '违违');
INSERT INTO my_test('3', '违违&^|违违');
When I query:
select * from corrosion_levels r where contains(r.CORROSION_LEVEL, '{%违${|违%}') > 0
ID CODE
3 违违$(|违违
2 违违
Actually, the result what I want is: 3 违违$(|违违
So the requirement is that all non-alphanumeric characters should be treated as normal alphanumeric charcters. Please tell me how to implement it.

Hot to set the Non-alphanumeric characters attribute?

Hello,
I'm developing an asp.net application using the oracle membership provider. I have installed the databse objects in an Oracle 9i and when I try to create a new user, It always asks me to consider at least 1 Non-alphanumeric character in the password, even if I put in the web.config file the minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" attribute. Is there another way to set the Non-alphanumeric characters to "0".
Thanks.

Workaround: set 0 for minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters attribute in your machine.config for OracleMembershipProvider. The defalt value is 1. The typical location of machine.config is in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG.

Non-alphanumeric characters part of a word?

Hi,
When searching using "23" the users have complained that it brings back terms like 23:00 and www.bob.....html?q=23. It's a bit of a long stretch but is there anyway to disregards those item.
I expect I'll probably end up explaining to the users that non-alphanumeric characters are regarded in the same was as white spaces, but is this a general standard, and is there a link to more information anywhere?
Cheers

You could make your colon and equal sign printjoins or skipjoins.

Account Codes with non Alphanumeric characters

I have a customer who has Business Partner Codes which contain non Alphanumeric characters :
space
full stop
apostrophe
forward slash
hyphen
Will this cause issues with the operation of any aspect of Webtools - what if anything should I watch out for since these cannot be changed?
