SQL * Loader client the disappeared in version 11g?

Hi,
I had to import data from a file to a table in my schema, but did not find the executable sqlldr.exe in my home directory client installation.
I've always made use of it in version 10i, but after installing the file win32_11gR2_client.zip, he disappeared.
He no longer comes from the client installation from version 11g?
Where can I download the utility?

I am not sure about the client software since I don't have it but with the Enterprise Edition, it surely is there.

SQL Loader and the bad file

I use SQL Loader to read a file into a table. In my tests a lot of rows are rejected and written to the bad file. But there are no error messages.
Is there a way to find out why the row was rejected.

The Bad File
The bad file contains records that were rejected, either by SQL*Loader or by the Oracle database server. Some of the possible reasons for rejection are discussed in the next sections.
SQL*Loader Rejects
Datafile records are rejected by SQL*Loader when the input format is invalid. For example, if the second enclosure delimiter is missing, or if a delimited field exceeds its maximum length, SQL*Loader rejects the record. Rejected records are placed in the bad file.
Oracle Rejects
After a datafile record is accepted for processing by SQL*Loader, it is sent to the Oracle database server for insertion into a table as a row. If the Oracle database server determines that the row is valid, then the row is inserted into the table. If the row is determined to be invalid, then the record is rejected and SQL*Loader puts it in the bad file. The row may be invalid, for example, because a key is not unique, because a required field is null, or because the field contains invalid data for the Oracle datatype.

Difference between Oracle 8i SQL Standard and the 9i Lite version

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody could inform me of the differences that occur between the full Oracle 8i version and the current Oracle 9i Lite version in respect of the SQL they both use.
Would the the way temporary tables are created and managed on the lite version be the same as that on the full version?
Would the SQL syntax also be the same between the two?
Any feedback on this would be great.
Thanks
Stephen

> 1)Can anyone tell me difference between oracle8i
sql engine and 9i sql engine.
They are different versions.
If you have been expecting a list of differences and enhancements and new product features... forget it. It will take several pages to list. Rather refer to the 9i product feature sheet.
> 2)Does oracle 9i uses the index defaultly if any
primary key is there in table
Huh? Oracle will use an index if it determines that it costs less to use that index to get to the data, than not using an index.

SQL*Loader does not recognise the \ in directory

Hi there,
We have version OWB 9.2.0.2.8 and I am trying to run SQL*Loader. I have tried to use an external table and also got "cannot find file" which I suspect could be the same problem. I then tried to load the data with SQL*Loader and saw that the directory specification of the source data file has "mysteriously" lost the \'s.
Below is a copy of the .log file with data file specified incorrectly. It should be u:\bi\data\ocean_shipment.csv. Any ideas?

Jean-Pierre,
That was the first thing I checked - even put it in (with \'s on the configuration parameters of the mapping). ALso unregistered and re-registered the location, ensured I put the slashes in, but to no avail. But I do belief there might be a bug outstanding for the location with directory separators - will check on metalink and let you know.

SQL Loader: refer datafile name in the control file

Hi All:
Database: 10GR2
I have a table as following:
test (
filename varchar2(100),
mydata varchar2(1000)
I am using sql loader to populate data for this table. I also need store the datafile name to column test.filename as part of dataload. How to refer datafile name in the control file?
Again, I am processing multiple files in a batch mode. I need store datafile name in filename column so that I can know which "mydata" come from which datafile.
Thanks in advance!
Kevin

As Bravid says, you can't do that from within SQL*Loader, unless the control files are dynamically generated by a script and the filename included as the default value for that particular column as a hardcoded literal.
It's easier if you use external tables as the table definition contains the "location" which is the list of filenames it is accessing, and the value can be queried as well as being dynamically changed (though if you're dynamically changing it, then you'll programatically know the filename anyway. hint hint!)

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.

im using oracle version is 11g r2 and os is win 2008 server,loading data from remote server.
any idea?

It is very difficult to resolve a problem which can not be seen.it is true becoz i did not get any error
To get 'expert advice' you would need to do what you could have done yourself:i have spend almost 5 five hour before putting question here
compare and/or post the sql*loader control file (which we are not to see)i have mentioned in my post that i used same control file for both. bu jsut changing the name of input file in control file
and to look up the error message onlinecould you plz let me know which error should i look for online?
what i did before putting question here. i have merge the both bad and loaded file again and load it separately. both load remain successful.

How can I use sql loader to load a text file into a table

Hi, I need to load a text file that has records on lines tab delimited into a table. How would I be able to use the sql loader to do this? I am using korn shell to do this. I am very new at this...so any kind of helpful examples or documentation would be very appreciated. I would love to see some examples to help me understand if possible. I need help! Thanks alot!

You should check out the documentation on SQL*Loader in the online Oracle document titled Utilities. Here's a link to the 9iR2 version of it: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96652/part2.htm#436160
Hope this helps.

Sql@loader-704 and ORA-12154: error messages when trying to load data with SQL Loader

I have a data base with two tables that is used by Apex 4.2. One table has 800,000 records . The other has 7 million records
The client recently upgraded from Apex 3.2 to Apex 4.2 . We exported/imported the data to the new location with no problems
The source of the data is an old mainframe system; I needed to make changes to the source data and then load the tables.
The first time I loaded the data i did it from a command line with SQL loader
Now when I try to load the data I get this message:
sql@loader-704 Internal error: ulconnect OCISERVERATTACH
ORA-12154: tns:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I've searched for postings on these error message and they all seem to say that SQL Ldr can't find my TNSNAMES file.
I am able to connect and load data with SQL Developer; so SQL developer is able to find the TNSNAMES file
However SQL Developer will not let me load a file this big
I have also tried to load the file within Apex (SQL Workshop/ Utilities) but again, the file is too big.
So it seems like SQL Loader is the only option
I did find one post online that said to set an environment variable with the path to the TNSNAMES file, but that didn't work..
Not sure what else to try or where to look
thanks

Hi,
You must have more than one tnsnames file or multiple installations of oracle. What i suggest you do (as I'm sure will be mentioned in ed's link that you were already pointed at) is the following (* i assume you are on windows?)
open a command prompt
set TNS_ADMIN=PATH_TO_DIRECTOT_THAT_CONTAINS_CORRECT_TNSNAMES_FILE (i.e. something like set TNS_ADMIN=c:\oracle\network\admin)
This will tell oracle use the config files you find here and no others
then try sqlldr user/pass@db (in the same dos window)
see if that connects and let us know.
Cheers,
Harry

Sql loader unable to read from pipe

Hi All:
I'm using named pipe along with Oracle SQL*Loader to load some 20 millions rows into database.
The source of the pipe is from a Java application which write to the pipe using simple FileOutputStream.
It can be observed that the Oracle SQL*Loader need to wait a lot on the Java application to produce enough data for loading.
The waiting is fine. However, the Oracle SQL*Loader always exist after loading about 1 million rows with output like:
SQL*Loader-501: Unable to read file (upipe.dat)
SQL*Loader-560: error reading file
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
And in this case, the Java will throw IOException with information:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Broken pipe
at java.io.FileOutputStream.writeBytes(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.write(FileOutputStream.java:284)
It runs on Linux environment with 11g database.
Any idea why this will happen?

SQL*Loader Import Problem

Hi,
I am trying to import some data from .txt file to a table in Oracle DB using TOAD- Sql*Loader - Import wizard. I was able to load all the files successfully. All the files are pipe(|) delimited. But in one of the files, when the values for the field is NULL - it is populated as ' ' (space), I have trouble in loading these files.
Suppose I have the fields f1, f2, f3, f4 in the .txt file. And say I have the data as following (and delimter as pipe(|)):
f1 f2 f3 f4 f5
r1|01|xyz|123|abc
r2|02| |234|bcd * 3rd column being null(space)
r3| |sam|345|def * 2nd field being null(space)
|04|ram|456|efg * 1st field being null(space)
|05|abc|567|gef * 1st column being null
I have problems loading the records 4,5 using Sql*loader, as the first field being null, the data is not being loaded properly. Is there any alternative way of loading this file into my table. Please help me.

Pl post OS and database versions, along with the contents of the loader control file and the loader log file with the errors.
