SQL Loader combine fields into one.

Hi i am using sql loader to convert a db from sql server to oracle.
my SQL Server DB has a field for the date and another for the time, i want to convert this into on filed called date. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this.
my ctl file looks like this.
load data
infile '[Cell_Phones].[dbo].[Account_Details].dat' "str '<EORD>'"
into table MD_CELLPHONE.Account_Details
fields terminated by '<EOFD>'
trailing nullcols
Account_Number ,
Phone_Number ,
Call_temp FILLER,
Call_Date "TO_DATE(:Call_temp ||' ' ||':Call_Date', 'mm/dd/yyyy HH:miam')"
BEGINDATA
3817913.0<EOFD>1234567890.0<EOFD>2007-03-31 00:00:00<EOFD>4:25 PM<EOFD>3817913.0<EOFD>1234567890.0<EOFD>2007-03-24 00:00:00<EOFD>8:19 PM<EOFD>3817913.0<EOFD>1234567890.0<EOFD>2007-03-31 00:00:00<EOFD>4:25 PM<EOFD>
But if i run this i get the following error
SQL*Loader-291: Invalid bind variable CALL_TEMP in SQL string for column CALL_DATE.
basically i cant find a way to do this to combine 2 columns into one and discard the one i am not using.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
You can load the data as in a stg table and the move from stg table to regular table concatenating both call_temp and call_date column together.
load data
infile 'Cell_Phones.dbo.Account_Details.dat' "str '<EORD>'"
into table MD_CELLPHONE.Account_Details_stg
fields terminated by '<EOFD>'
trailing nullcols
Account_Number ,
Phone_Number ,
Call_temp,
Call_Date
Convert to right date format
Insert into account_details (col1 , col2, col3, ...) select val1 , val2 , to_date ( val3 || ' ' || val4) ...
from account_details_stg;

Sql loader - mutiple values into one column

Hi,
Is it possible to load multiple fields into one column. Eg, my table structure has two columns COL1, COL2 and my data file is comma delimted with 3 fields A,B,C.
How could i use sql loader to achieve (without the use of temp tables)
COL1 = A
COL2 = BC
Thanks

I don't understand why you can't modify the input fille.
But anyway, i have 2 ways to help you
1. Make new inputfile online using pipe and awk(or something your are familiar with) and use it as new input file.
This is a traditional and powerful method in Unix environment.
For instance:
oracle> $ mknod pipe.dat p
oracle> cat input.dat | awk '{print ...}' > pipe.dat &
oracle> sqlldr ctl=.. data=pipe.dat
Using this method, you don't need to modify original input file physically, but by some magical trick you can modify it on the fly.
2. Use before trigger
For instance:
create table load(a int, b int, c int, d int);
create or replace trigger load_trigger
before insert on load
for each row
begin
:new.d := :new.b + :new.c;
:new.b := null;
:new.c := null;
end;
load data
infile *
append
into table load
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(a, b, c)
begindata
1, 1, 1
2, 2, 2
3, 3, 3
4, 4, 4
sqlldr userid=... ctl=load.ctl
SQL> select * from load;
A B C D
1 2
2 4
3 6
4 8
You won't like the existence of unnecessary columns(B, C) but don't have choice. ^^;
I think there is another simple way provided by SQL*Loader. But i've never tried it myself. Read following doc and try it yourself:

hi
if you want to combine the feilds ther must be some logic in if ie you add fields or do whateever operations on them
if you just want to remove the null fields go to the query properties and there is in display settings suppress the null values it has an option of rows wise or coloumn wise .
hope it helps

Combine two date field into one timestamp field

Hello all,
I need help combining two date fields into one timestamp field.
I have separate Date and Milliseconds fields and want to

this is my insert drag_time is a timestamp field in another schema

Songs in my Itunes show up as separate folders. How do I combine them into one album?

Songs in my Itunes show up as separate folders. How do I combine them into one album?

Is this one of those CDs where the main artist asks their friend to sing a song with them?
Such as, Slash's new album. Track 1 is "Slash Feat. Ian Astbury", track 2 is "Slash Feat. Ozzy Osbourne" and so on.
To fix this, select all the tracks on that album, right-click > Get Info, and say YES to changing multiple items.
Put "Slash" in the *Album Artist* field (for this example, of course).
Make sure it is the *Album Artist* field, not the plain Artist field.

To Join two SAP fields into one info object

Hi All,
Can you please suggest the best method to concatenate values from two R/3 fields into one info object master data table?
The requirement is to create a Sales report where I need to report on sales against sales type.
Sales type is a list of joint values of item category ( 0ITEM_CATEG) and bill type (0BILL_TYPE).
So, I need a list of all item categories and billing types in a single object and report sales value against it.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Sharmishtha

Hi Venkat,
In DSO any case you will not be having more than 16 Keys. I am surprised seeing requirement of more than 16 keys, but anyways you need to go with some workaround.
You can concatenate multiple Fields and map to one Dummy InfoObject which will be Key in DSO so in actual you have more than 16 Keys but have 16 Keys in system.
But analyze requirement in detail because this will increase data redundancy and time for load will get increased.
Also for new issues start new discussion otherwise people will not able to help you in this forum.

Ganesh

Formatting Address Fields into one

Using Acrobat X PRO:
I have a multi-page document in which a user is prompted for the address in two different formats:
1) With the address split into 4 different values/fields:
Street Field, City Field, State Field, Zip Field
Example: "1234 Count Rd" (Next Line) "St Louis", "MO" "55555"
2) With the address all together:
Complete Address on one line with a maximum length of 40 Characters.
Example: 1234 Count Rd, St. Louis, MO 55555
I would like users to be able to Fill in the Street, City, State, and Zip fields, and no matter what the format of the following fields, have the data autopopulated.
This isn't a problem for example #1. However, with #2 if i place all fields close together, I have to guess on how far apart to space each field and still have it fit and format properly.
Is there any way to combine the values of 4 fields into one value (separated by commas)?
Making the address field 'auto-fit' may be necessary but it's ugly if there is extra space in the remaining fields.
PLEASE SEE THIS EXAMPLE document i have created for the purpose of this post

And if the combined fields are longer than 40 characters?
With Acrobat 4 there was a sample form that one entered the data in fields like tile, first name, mi, last name, abd degrees and then created a full name from those individual fields and adjusted for missing data.
The doucment level script:
/ Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
     sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
     sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
     sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
     sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
     sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
     sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
     sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
     sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
     sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
And then one could use a custom calculation script for a full address field:
// Full business address including country
function doFullBusinessAddress() {
var ba = this.getField("business.address.full");
var bc = this.getField("business.address.citystatezip");
var bu = this.getField("business.address.country");
event.value = fillin(ba.value, bc.value, bu.value, ", ");
doFullBusinessAddress();

2 Form Fields into one DB Entry

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked and answered multiple times. I am new to this and extremely frustrated because I keep getting stuck.
I am using Dreamweaver to create a website with Coldfusion as the server. I am using Quickbooks and QODBC to use the DB to integrate with CF.
I have created a form with multiple fields all text entries. I have been able to get all the information to post into my database correctly. However my question is I want to create a multiple entry that would combine two form fields into one column in the database table. For instance I have First Name and Last Name as form fields when the user submits I want these to both enter into their respective columns in the table but also combine into one entry with format Last Name, First Name into a FULL NAME Column in the table. Is this possible if so how????? Thanks in advance.

Join 2 fields into one to map to destination field

Hi! Is it possible to join data in 2 fields into one to map to the destination field? I have image file name kept in one field and want to prefix with a URL which I hope to maintain in a manually added field. Alternatively, it will be great to be able to prefix the image filename with the URL to be mapped to the image destination field.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes it is possible to combine values from two fields to map a single field of MDM repository using Import Manager. This feature of Import manager is called as Field Partitioning.
You can do it by following below mentioned steps:
1. Open import manager and connect to source file.
2. Specify source and destination tables. expand Source Table under source Hierarchy in Import Manager. And click on first field to select it.
3. Now Go to "Partition Field/Value" tab. In the Source Partition sub Pane you will see your First Field under "partition by" (* because you select first field from source hierarchy).
4. From source Partition sub pane under "Available Fields" select the second field and click on "Add". This will bring second field also under "partitioned By".
5. Now select both Fields under "partition by" and right click and select "Combine" (*Combine option will be enabled only when more than 1 field is selected by "partition By"
6. Once you select Combine, it will combine values from both Fields. Again right click and select "Set combine delimiter" and specify the required value delimiter.
7. Now Go to "Map Field /Values" tab. You will see one more field (*starting with the name of your first field and ending with partition word. Map this field to the required destination field.
8. Follow other normal steps for data import and import data. after data import check data in data manager. you will get combined values from 2 source field in the MDM field.
Check Page no 203 of [import manager reference guide |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/72b8e7a42301bae10000000a42189b/MDMImportManager71.pdf]for more details.
Please revert if you face any issue.

You can drag and drop photos from one Event to another. Or you can flag them and use the Events: Add Flagged photos to Select Event.
However, why not use an Album for the job?

I don't think so. The only other ID I have is a developer id, and I didn't get that until several months after I got the phone. In addition purchases I made from the App Store onthe phone would sync up with It unes on the Mac meaning it would be the same id.
However I looked at the AppStore on my phone while it was connected to the Mac with iTunes open, and now the balance has changed to the same as the others.

I seem to have at least two, and maybe four, iCloud accounts, across my iPhone, my iPad and my MacBook Pro. Can I combine them into one iCloud account? I have been able to log into what appears to be three of the four iCloud accounts I have. Two of them seem to be remarkably similar, and one appears to be only for my MacBook.I think I know which one my iPhone is backing up to, as I successfully restored from a back-up last week. The fourth iCloud account I can't access via password or security questions. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
