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:

Or post the table description and the control file, so we can have a look at it.

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。

SQL*Loader data on different lines

I have to load a file with data on the fisrt line that I have to load each time I load data on other line.
my data look like this :
a1 somedata
p1 somedata
p2 somedata
p1 somedata
And I have to load for each row of my table data that are on line a1,p1 and p2
Is there a way to do this ?
p2 xxxx

If you use fixed with (skip those positions)
col1 (1-10) char,
col2 (11-xx)
otherwise
col1,
col2 "substr(:col2,10)"
but directpath does not work

Only thing I can think of is there is some character set issue between the control file and the operating syste/oracle server.
You did you create the control file using a text based editor such as notepad or wordpad didn't you? You haven't used something like MS Word?

Loading two tables at same time with SQL Loader

I have two tables I would like to populate from a file C:\my_data_file.txt.
Many of the columns I am loading into both tables but there are a handful of columns I do not want. The first column I do not want for either table. My problem is how I can direct SQL Loader to go back to the first column and skip over it. I had tried using POSITION(1) and FILLER for the first column while loading the second table but I got THE following error message:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 65
Expecting "," or ")" found keyword Filler
col_a Poistion(1) FILLER INTEGER EXTERNALMy control file looks like the following:
LOAD DATA

Error while loading data using SQL*Loader

Hi All,
I am now in process of loading data from MS SQL to Oracle Database.
I am getting the data in excel format and i will convert them into csv.
Upto converting everything is working fine.
In MS SQL, table columns are case sensitive.
So i created those tables in oracle db as same.
There is one column "MaxNumber" which is of type float(49).
The column is case sensitive.
in the control file first i given as
"MaxNumber" "TO_NUMBER(:MaxNumber,'99,999.99')"
After executing the SQL*Loader i am getting the error
SQL*Loader-466: Column MAXNUMBER does not exist in table TABLEONE.
I changed the control file entry as
"MaxNumber" "TO_NUMBER(:"MaxNumber",'99,999.99')"
After the execution i got the error
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 13.
Expecting "," or ")", found "MaxDiscount".
"MaxNumber" "TO_NUMBER(:"MaxNumber",'99,999.99')"
Please Guide me in this issue.
Regards
Salih KM

What I'm saying is, verify the column name. Dont post if not possible.
Example follows, with one table intentionally "hidden".
SQL> create table "tEsT" ("MaxNumber" float, "MaxnumbeR" number);
SQL> select table_name,column_name from user_tab_columns where table_name like 't%';
TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME
tEsT                           MaxNumber
tEsT                           MaxnumbeR
teST                           iD
teST                           MaxNumberHth,

SQL*LOADER and decode

I'm setting up a sql*loader script and trying to use the decode function as referred to in 'Applying SQL Operators to Fields' I'm getting an error message ' Token longer than max allowable length of 258 chars'. Is there a limit to the size of the decode statement within sql*loader - or is it better to use a table trigger to handle this on insert? I ran the decode statement as a select through SQL*Plus and it works okay there. Oracle 8.0 Utilities shows example of decode in Ch. 5, but Oracle 9i Utilities Ch. 6 does not. Has anyone done this and what's the impact on performance of the load if I can get it to work? See my example below:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'e2e_prod_cust_profile.csv'

URGENT: Problems Loading files with SQL Loader into a BLOB column

Hi friends,
I read a lot about how to load files into blob columns, but I found errors that I can't solve.
I've read several notes in these forums, ine of them:
sql loader: loading external file into blob
and tried the solutions but without good results.
Here are some of my tests:
With this .ctl:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE mytable
REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
number1 INTEGER EXTERNAL,
cad1 CHAR(250),
image1 LOBFILE(cad1) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
1153,/opt/oracle/appl/myapp/1.0.0/img/1153.JPG,
the error when I execute sqlldr is:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 9.
Expecting "," or ")", found "LOBFILE".
image1 LOBFILE(cad1) TERMINATED BY EOF
^
What problem exists with LOBFILE ??
(mytable of course has number1 as a NUMBER, cad1 as VARCHAR2(250) and image1 as BLOB
I tried too with :
LOAD DATA
INFILE sample.dat
INTO TABLE mytable
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(cad1 CHAR(3),
cad2 FILLER CHAR(30),
image1 BFILE(CONSTANT "/opt/oracle/appl/myapp/1.0.0/img/", cad2))
sample.dat is:
1153,1153.JPEG,
and error is:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 6.
Expecting "," or ")", found "FILLER".
cad2 FILLER CHAR(30),
^
I tried too with a procedure, but without results...
Any idea about this error messages?
Thanks a lot.

> So you think that if one person put an "urgent" in the subject is screwing the problems of
other people?
Absolutely. As you are telling them "My posting is more important than yours and deserve faster attention and resolution than yours!".
So what could a typical response be? Someone telling you that his posting is more important by using the phrase "VERY URGENT!". And the next poster may decide that, no, his problem is evern more import - and use "EXTREMELY URGENT!!" as the subject. And the next one then raises the stakes by claiming his problem is "CODE RED! CRITICAL. DEFCON 4. URGENT!!!!".
Stupid, isn't it? As stupid as your instance that there is nothing wrong with your pitiful clamoring for attention to your problem by saying it is urgent.
What does the RFC's say about a meaningful title/subject in a public forum? I trust that you know what a RFC is? After all, you claim to have used public forums on the Internet for some years now..
The RFC on "public forums" is called The Usenet Article Format. This is what it has to say about the SUBJECT of a public posting:
=
The "Subject" line (formerly "Title") tells what the message is about. It should be suggestive enough of the contents of the message to enable a reader to make a decision whether to read the message based on the subject alone. If the message is submitted in response to another message (e.g., is a follow-up) the default subject should begin with the four characters "Re: ", and the "References" line is required. For follow-ups, the use of the "Summary" line is encouraged.
=
([url http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/rfc/1036.html]RFC 1036, the Usenet article format)
Or how about [url http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/dont.html]The seven don'ts of Usenet?
Point 7 of the Don'ts:
Don't try to catch attention by typing something foolish like "PLEASE HELP ME!!!! URGENT!!! I NEED YOUR HELP!!!" into the Subject line. Instead, type something informative (using normal mixed case!) that describes the subject matter.
Please tell me that you are not too thick to understand the basic principles of netiquette, or to argue with the RFCs that governs the very fabric of the Internet.
As for when I have an "urgent" problem? In my "real" work? I take it up with Oracle Support on Metalink by filing an iTAR/SR. As any non-idiot should do with a real-life Oracle crisis problem.
I do not barge into a public forum like you do, jump up and down, and demand quick attention by claiming that my problem is more important and more urgent and more deserving of attention that other people's problem in the very same forum.

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 ?
