SQL loader and truncate drop storage clause

Hi,
I check that during load data via sqlloader like that:
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TEMP_TABLE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
(id,
text
it use reuse storage in truncate command. Is there any way to set truncate with drop storage option?

But drop storage is the one which happens by default then You issue truncate command
From documentation
Use the TRUNCATE statement to remove all rows from a table or cluster. By default, Oracle Database also performs the following tasks:
Deallocates all space used by the removed rows except that specified by the MINEXTENTS storage parameter
Sets the NEXT storage parameter to the size of the last extent removed from the segment by the truncation process
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_10006.htm
After additional reading I found out that sqlloader uses truncate with reuse storage by default and if You need drop storage, then You have to issue this command through sqlplus. There is no way how to mention it via controlfile.

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) = '#'
INTO TABLE FLURSTUECKE_TAB
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS (
flst_id,
flst_nr_zaehler,

flur_nr,
gemark_schluessel REF(CONSTANT 'GEMARK_SCHLUESSEL_TAB',GEMARK_ID),
gemark_id FILLER
BEGINDATA
1|97|7||1|1|
Is there a error I made?
Thanks in advance

SQL Loader and Insert Into Performance Difference

Hello All,
Im in a situation to measure performance difference between SQL Loader and Insert into. Say there 10000 records in a flat file and I want to load it into a staging table.
I know that if I use PL/SQL UTL_FILE to do this job performance will degrade(dont ask me why im going for UTL_FILE instead of SQL Loader). But I dont know how much. Can anybody tell me the performance difference in % (like 20% will decrease) in case of 10000 records.
Thanks,
Kannan.

Do not confuse the topic, as I told im not going to use External tables. This post is to speak the performance difference between SQL Loader and Simple Insert Statement.I don't think people are confusing the topic.
External tables are a superior means of reading a file as it doesn't require any command line calls or external control files to be set up. All that is needed is a single external table definition created in a similar way to creating any other table (just with the additional external table information obviously). It also eliminates the need to have a 'staging' table on the database to load the data into as the data can just be queried as needed directly from the file, and if the file changes, so does the data seen through the external table automatically without the need to re-run any SQL*Loader process again.
Who told you not to use External Tables? Do they know what they are talking about? Can they give a valid reason why external tables are not to be used?
IMO, if you're considering SQL*Loader, you should be considering External tables as a better alternative.

SQL *Loader and External Table

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the difference between SQL* Loader and External table?
What are the conditions under we can use SQL * Loader and External Table.
Thanx

External tables are accessible from SQL, which generally simplifies life if the data files are physically located on the database server since you don't have to coordinate a call to an external SQL*Loader script with other PL/SQL processing. Under the covers, external tables are normally just invoking SQL*Loader.
SQL*Loader is more appropriate if the data files are on a different server or if it is easier to call an executable rather than calling PL/SQL (i.e. if you have a batch file that runs on a server other than the database server that wants to FTP a data file from a FTP server and then load the data into Oracle).

Help in calling sql loader and an oracle procedure in a script

Hi Guru's
please help me in writing an unix script which will call sql loader and also an oracle procedure..
i wrote an script which is as follows.
!/bin/sh
clear
#export ORACLE_SID='HOBS2'
sqlldr USERID=load/ps94mfo16 CONTROL=test_nica.ctl LOG=test_nica.log
retcode=`echo $?`
case "$retcode" in
0) echo "SQL*Loader execution successful" ;;
1) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_FAIL, see logfile" ;;
2) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_WARN, see logfile" ;;
3) echo "SQL*Loader execution encountered a fatal error" ;;
*) echo "unknown return code";;
esac
sqlplus USERID=load/ps94mfo16 << EOF
EXEC DO_TEST_SHELL_SCRIPT
it is loading the data in to an oracle table
but the procedure is not executed..
any valuable suggestion is highly appriciated..
Cheers

Using SQL*Loader and UTL_FILE to load and unload large files(i.e PDF,DOCs)

Problem : Load PDF or similiar files( stored at operating system) into an oracle table using SQl*Loader .
and than Unload the files back from oracle tables to prevoius format.
I 've used SQL*LOADER .... " sqlldr " command as :
" sqlldr scott/[email protected] control=c:\sqlldr\control.ctl log=c:\any.txt "
Control file is written as :
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:\sqlldr\r_sqlldr.txt'
REPLACE
INTO table r_sqlldr
Fields terminated by ','
id sequence (max,1) ,
fname char(20),
data LOBFILE(fname) terminated by EOF )
It loads files ( Pdf, Image and more...) that are mentioned in file r_sqlldr.txt into oracle table r_sqlldr
Text file ( used as source ) is written as :
c:\kalam.pdf,
c:\CTSlogo1.bmp
c:\any1.txt
after this load ....i used UTL_FILE to unload data and write procedure like ...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE R_UTL AS
l_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_buffer RAW(32767);
l_amount BINARY_INTEGER ;
l_pos INTEGER := 1;
l_blob BLOB;
l_blob_len INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT data
INTO l_blob
FROM r_sqlldr
where id= 1;
l_blob_len := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(l_blob);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('blob length : ' || l_blob_len);
IF (l_blob_len < 32767) THEN
l_amount :=l_blob_len;
ELSE
l_amount := 32767;
END IF;
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(l_blob, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
l_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('DBDIR1','Kalam_out.pdf','w', 32767);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('File opened');
WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ (l_blob, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Blob read');
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW(l_file, l_buffer, TRUE);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('writing to file');
UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(l_file);
UTL_FILE.NEW_LINE(l_file);
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(l_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('File closed');
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_blob);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
IF UTL_FILE.IS_OPEN(l_file) THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file);
END IF;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Its working at last');
END R_UTL;
This loads data from r_sqlldr table (BOLBS) to files on operating system ,,,
-> Same procedure with minor changes is used to unload other similar files like Images and text files.
In above example : Loading : 3 files 1) Kalam.pdf 2) CTSlogo1.bmp 3) any1.txt are loaded into oracle table r_sqlldr 's 3 rows respectively.
file names into fname column and corresponding data into data ( BLOB) column.
Unload : And than these files are loaded back into their previous format to operating system using UTL_FILE feature of oracle.
so PROBLEM IS : Actual capacity (size ) of these files is getting unloaded back but with quality decreased. And PDF file doesnt even view its data. means size is almot equal to source file but data are lost when i open it.....
and for images .... imgaes are getting loaded an unloaded but with colors changed ....
Also features ( like FFLUSH ) of Oracle 've been used but it never worked
ANY SUGGESTIONS OR aLTERNATE SOLUTION TO LOAD AND UNLOAD PDFs through Oracle ARE REQUESTED.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Justin ...for a quick response ...
well ... i am loading data into BLOB only and using SQL*Loader ...
I've never used dbms_lob.loadFromFile to do the loads ...
i 've opend a file on network and than used dbms_lob.read and
UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW to read and write data into target file.
actually ...my process is working fine with text files but not with PDF and IMAGES ...
and your doubt of ..."Is the data the proper length after reading it in?" ..m not getting wat r you asking ...but ... i think regarding data length ..there is no problem... except ... source PDF length is 90.4 kb ..and Target is 90.8 kb..
thats it...
So Request u to add some more help ......or should i provide some more details ??

Import and process larger data with SQL*Loader and Java resource

Hello,
I have a project to import data from a text file in a schedule. A lager data, with nearly 20,000 record/1 hours.
After that, we have to analysis the data, and export the results into a another database.
I research about SQL*Loader and Java resource to do these task. But I have no experiment about that.
I'm afraid of the huge data, Oracle could be slowdown or the session in Java Resource application could be timeout.
Please tell me some advice about the solution.
Thank you very much.

SQL*Loader and CONTINUEIF clause

Hi,
I used SQL*Loader to load in a table some files coming from main frame environnement.
The length of the physical record is 1662 characters. For some lines of the file, the characters CR (X'0C') could appear anywhere in the position 1158 to 1165 inclusively. I just want to know how to tell to SQL*Loader to concatenate the next record by using CONTINUEIF clause.
I made a simple test. I checked only the position 1165 and it works. Here is the "ctl":
OPTIONS (ERRORS=999999)
LOAD DATA
infile 'T:\RéalDelisle\AGR.PBC1.SCOPY001.de test avec x25 aux positions 1158 a 1165.txt'
BADFILE 'D:\Sinpac\Bad\sinpac_YT.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'D:\Sinpac\Disc\sinpac_YT.dsc'
APPEND
CONTINUEIF THIS PRESERVE (1165)=X'0C'
INTO TABLE AGRMDHD1.Sinpac_YT
+(+
CODEFICHIER             constant "D501.A0405",
C001_CP12               position (1:12) ,
C001_record             position (1:1662),
C001_record_1157        position (1:1157),
C001_record_1166        position (1166:1662),
+          C001_Mont_subv_adm position (1644:1652) "TO_NUMBER(:c001_mont_subv_adm,'999999D99', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ''. '' ')",+
C001_Mont_subv_adm_nouv position (1654:1662) "TO_NUMBER(:c001_mont_subv_adm_nouv,'999999D99', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ''. '' ')"
+)+
But, I want to do the test for the position 1158 to 1165 (the character X'0C' could appear in one of those positions). I tried this but it didn't work (I've got a syntax error):
OPTIONS (ERRORS=999999)
LOAD DATA
infile 'T:\RéalDelisle\AGR.PBC1.SCOPY001.de test avec x25 aux positions 1158 a 1165.txt'

+)+
I looked in the documentation but I found nothing about the way to do it.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thank's

If a record contains CR (X'0C'), then is the CR (X'0C') always the last character of the record? If so, I think you'd use LAST (it's all in the Docs.).
If not, then I don't think SQL*Loader will do what you want. Instead, I think you'd need to manipulate the data before it reaches SQL*Loader. You use Windows, so what about installing CygWin? It's a winner, really, and you can then do lovely sed,vi & awk stuff on your data - and it's very fast, too.

SQL*Loader and "Variable length field was truncated"

Hi,
I'm experiencing this problem using SQL*Loader: Release 8.1.7.0.0
Here is my control file (it's actually split into separate control and data files, but the result is the same)
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
APPEND INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
first_id,
second_id,
third_id,
language_code,
display_text VARCHAR(2000)
begindata
2,1,1,"eng","Type of Investment Account"
The TEST table is defined as:
Name Null? Type
FIRST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
SECOND_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
THIRD_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
LANGUAGE_CODE NOT NULL CHAR(3)
DISPLAY_TEXT VARCHAR2(2000)
QUESTION_BLOB BLOB
The log file displays:
Record 1: Warning on table "USER"."TEST", column DISPLAY_TEXT
Variable length field was truncated.
And the results of the insert are:
FIRST_ID SECOND_ID THIRD_ID LANGUAGE_CODE DISPLAY_TEXT
2 1 1 eng ype of Investment Account"
The language_code field is imported correctly, but display_text keeps the closing delimiter, and loses the first character of the string. In other words, it is interpreting the enclosing double quote and/or the delimiter, and truncating the first two characters.
I've also tried the following:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
APPEND INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
first_id,
second_id,
third_id,
language_code,
display_text VARCHAR(2000)
begindata
2|1|1|eng|Type of Investment Account
In this case, display_text is imported as:
pe of Investment Account
In the log file, I get this table which seems odd as well - why is the display_text column shown as having length 2002 when I explicitly set it to 2000?
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype
FIRST_ID FIRST * | O(") CHARACTER
SECOND_ID NEXT * | O(") CHARACTER
THIRD_ID NEXT * | O(") CHARACTER
LANGUAGE_CODE NEXT 3 | O(") CHARACTER
DISPLAY_TEXT NEXT 2002 VARCHAR
Am I missing something totally obvious in my control and data files? I've played with various combinations of delimiters (commas vs '|'), trailing nullcols, optional enclosed etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Use CHAR instead aof VARCHAR
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
APPEND INTO TABLE test
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
first_id,
second_id,
third_id,
language_code,
display_text CHAR(2000)
)From the docu:
A VARCHAR field is a length-value datatype.
It consists of a binary length subfield followed by a character string of the specified length.

SQL Loader and control file

I know I've done this before but, I don't use SQL Loader often and I'm having issues getting a file to load.
The table has 6 columns in it - one of which is a timestamp.
I was having issues loading it initially with date format issues. I ruled out any issues with the timestamp format by simply loading a dummy table with some timestamp based data and had no issue.
So - I think the issue is around the fact that the table I'm loading's first column being a value I'm attempting to default with a sequence when loading and - that I'm screwing up something there.
Table is as such:
CREATE TABLE ACS_IPS
    (seq_ips NUMBER,
    col2   VARCHAR2(100),
    col3 VARCHAR2(100),
    col4    VARCHAR2(100),
    col5 TIMESTAMP,
    col6    VARCHAR2(100),
    col7    VARCHAR2(100),
    col8 DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL,
    col9 VARCHAR2(30) DEFAULT USER);The control file is:
load data
truncate
into table acs_ips
fields terminated by ","
trailing nullcols
    seq_ips "seq_ips.nextval",
    col2,
    col3,
    col4,
    col5 TIMESTAMP "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF9",
    col6,
    col7
    )The sequence column isn't in the file being loaded... and - there are additional columns that are defaulted on the table that aren't in the control file.
Any help is appreciated... The error I'm getting is:
Rejected - Error on table CAMS.ACS_IPS, column ACTION_START.
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0

Yeah - not sure that clears it up...
The sequence in my table is the first column - and - I think that's the problem... the sequence is being loaded as the first column in the control file but - it's not in the file being loaded so - it's skewing (again - I think??) the data being read in - which is why I'm getting the timestamp issues on the one column (it's actually reading the next column in the file vs. the actual timestamp one).
If that's the issue - I'm not sure how to avoid it without restructuring the table to stick the sequence physically at the end. I'm certain that's not necessary and - I'm overlooking something that's otherwise simple but evading me.

Sql*loader and sequence() for primary keys

I have a question regarding SQL*Loader with the sequence() function and using it for a primary key to load records in multiple tables from one input record. I am pulling data from a delimited file and populating several tables from each row. For the primary key, I am using the sequence function.
For the first table (the parent), I use sequence(40000,1) for the key. Since the remaining inserts are based on the same logical record, I use sequence(40000,1) for those too (one record for each month). The problem comes in when a child record does not pass a WHEN clause (the amount is zero). Then it almost seems as if the parent record is not loaded and the child (or children) that does pass the WHEN clause are assigned to the next parent! Obviously, the sequence is getting out of sync between the children and the parent.
I've looked in the documentation and tried several different ways to attack this problem. Is there a bug in SQLLDR (8.1.7) or is it just my coding.
I will try to include the files below but they are very large.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply .. user do have their user credentials but only for the application ... but all users use a common loader and control file once they log into the application. So irrespective of which user is logged in he selects the same control file and loads to the same table mentioned in the control file .. i instead want user to be able to load to the table in control file but into his schema like username.tablename instead of just the tablename mentioned in .ctl file.

SQL*Loader and multiple files

Hello, am tasked with loading tables with 21+ million rows. Will SQL*Loader perform better with one large file or many smaller files? Is there any ideal file size for optimal performance? Thank you
David

Don, when I tried to loada 21M row table using direct, I get the following messages:

SQL*Loader and ORA-00054

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to prevent ORA-00054 errors on tables when using SQL*Loader. I'm currently invoking scripts that extract data from a source system and load into a table in my database. I'm concurrently invoking the script because I have multiple source systems to improve my overall time for the loads. Sometimes, I get failures on the loads due to ORA-00054 errors. Can this be prevented? Is these a WAIT command/option that can be turned on for SQL*Loader?

desc toto
Name Null? Type
COL1 DATE
Controlfile :
load data
infile 'titi.dat'
truncate
into table titi
(col1 position(1:7) DATE "YYYYMMDD" "DECODE (:col1, '9999999','19990101','000000
0',null,:col1 + 19000000)")
Indeed, the input format date is SYYMMDD where S=0 if year=19xx and S=1 if Year=20xx.
Thanks for your reply.

SQL LOader and conditional load

Hi guys is there any way that I can insert a record in a table B based on the date in a header record in a text file .
The flow in the SQL Loader control file should be
Load the text file T to a table say A
insert a record in table B based on the date in header record in text file T.Example if date is less than 10 Aug 2007 then B.version should be Y or else N.
Thanks

This can easily be done using External Tables.
You create an external table on 'text file' and then do something like this:
insert into B
select case date > '10 aug 2007' when true then Y else N end
from table external_table
where (your where clause here)..
Does this help?
