SQL Loader ContinueIf

Hi All,
Iam working with PCARD Transactions Interface and USbank sends file in the below fomat where we need to add logical records
into one uisng continue if statement.
File
054730770006048059240
104730770006048059100

SQLLOADER
continueif next(1:2) <> '05'
into table ap_credit_card_trxns_all
when (1:2) = '05'
so the above statement means continue reading untill you find 05 in the position (1:2) but I need to check the condition
as when (1:2) = '05'.
But as we all know you cant use to read or check the condition if the position is used in continueif next statement.
So I need to use the position for condition checking.
Did any one come accross this issue or any one have work around for this.
Thanks in advance.

Your explanation is not clear, your did not read the FAQ and learn how to use tags to format your listing, and I've no idea your version number.
That said ... if the issue is that you could potentially have two different meanings for the same characters in the same position I would go back to the vendor, since obviously they are sending this file to others, and ask them to get you the answer or give you a referral to someone that has.

SQL*Loader ContinueIf with X'hex'

Hi all,
i am using SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.6.0 to import a text file with this CTL file :
LOAD DATA

...and the import fails. What i miss in the syntax?
I am trying to exclude from import the last line in my text file that contain the hexadecimal
Thank to all for sugestions and solutions.

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'

C001_Mont_subv_adm_nouv position (1654:1662) "TO_NUMBER(:c001_mont_subv_adm_nouv,'999999D99', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ''. '' ')"
+)+
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.

Multiple CONTINUEIF statements in SQL Loader

Anyone know how to do this?
Yes. I have read the Oracle documentation on SQL Loader and use of the CONTINUEIF statement. It doesn't state what the syntax is when setting CONTINUEIF for different columns, some that may not be contiguous.
I want to say something like
CONTINUEIF THIS (10)='-' AND THIS (11)='/'
I've tried various permutations of this syntax and a few others. Nothing I've tried works.
I can get CONTINUEIF to work if I only use one instance(column) specification.
Thank You in advance for any help.

You can only use a single CONTINUEIF clause in a SQL*Loader command file. If the characters are contiguous, then you can use CONTINUEIF THIS (10-11)='-/'

SQL Loader CLOBs

I am moving data from an oracle 10g table to another oracle 10g table, transforming the data in Access, filtering records, merging fields, etc.., then via Access VBA creating CTL files and neccessary scripts, then loading the data via SQL Loader. Getting the CLOBs to load is not a problem, getting it to load with the formatting is. The records in the control file look fine, the formatting is kept just fine in the CTL file, but when it is loaded all the carriage returns, line feeds, etc are removed
Here is the header of my CTL file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
CONTINUEIF LAST != "|"
INTO TABLE table_name
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '||' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(field1, field2, field3....etc)
begindata
field1||field2||field3||fieldx|
At first i thought taking out the TRAILING NULLCOLS would help but i get the same result.
The end result i am looking for is keeping the data formatted exactly as it is in the source table.
Thanks
Mike

After doing some research it seems that the only way is creating a file with the clob, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_loading.htm#i1007627

Loading XML file using sql*loader (10g)

Hi Everyone....
I have a major problem. I have a 10g database and I need to use sql loader to load a large XML file into the database. This file contains records for many, many customers. This will be done several times and the number of records will vary. I want to use sql loader and load to a staging table, BUT SPLIT THE RECORDS OUT and add a sequence. I am having 2 problems.
In the 10g documentation, when you want to split the records you use the BEGINDATA clause and indicate something (like a 0) for each instance of a record. Well my first file has 3,722 records in it. How do I know the number of records in each XML file?
The second problem is that because this is XML, I thought that I could use ENCLOSED BY. But the start tag has an attribute /counter in it, sql*loader doesnt recognize the starting tag. (i.e.: start tag is: </CustomerRec number=1>
end tag is: </CustomerRec> )
So, I used TERMINATED BY '</CustomerRec>'. This will split out the records, but it will NOT include the ending tag of </CustomerRec> and when I use extract, I receive an XML parsing error.
I have tried to get the ending tag using CONTINUEIF and SKIP. But those options are for "records" and not lines.
Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 problems above. I am at my wits end and I need to finish this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry.... here is an example of what my control file looks like. At the end, I have 92 "0", but remember, I have 3722 records in this first file.

I have 2 input files with different encoding (apparent in case of special characters).
File 1 loads successfully. For File 2 loader gives a memory fault while loading. Hence the log file is of 0 bytes. I still have no clue as to why is the loader giving a memory fault. It is not an OS level memory fault as analysed by the OS team. Please help!

Problem with SQL*Loader loading long description with carriage return

I'm trying to load new items into mtl_system_items_interface via a concurrent
program running the SQL*Loader. The load is erroring due to not finding a
delimeter - I'm guessing it's having problems with the long_description.
Here's my ctl file:
LOAD
INFILE 'create_prober_items.csv'

TEMPLATE_ID "TRIM(:TEMPLATE_ID)",
SEGMENT1 "TRIM(:SEGMENT1)",
SEGMENT2 "TRIM(:SEGMENT2)",
DESCRIPTION "TRIM(:DESCRIPTION)",
LONG_DESCRIPTION "TRIM(:LONG_DESCRIPTION)")
Here's a sample record from the csv file:
1,1,CREATE,0,546,03,B00-100289,PROBEHEAD PH100 COMPLETE/ VACUUM/COAX ,"- Linear
X axis, Y,Z pivots
- Movement range: X: 8mm, Y: 6mm, Z: 25mm
- Probe tip pressure adjustable contact
- Vacuum adapter
- With shielded arm
- Incl. separate miniature female HF plug
The long_description has to appear as:
- something
- something
It can't appear as:
-something-something
Here's the errors:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "INV"."MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE", column
LONG_DESCRIPTION.
Logical record ended - second enclosure character not present
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table "INV"."MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE", column
ORGANIZATION_ID.
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
I've asked for help on the Metalink forum and was advised to add trailing nullcols to the ctl so the ctl line now looks like:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
I don't think this was right because now I'm getting:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "INV"."MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE", column LONG_DESCRIPTION.
Logical record ended - second enclosure character not present
Thanks for any help that may be offered.

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

Is there a error I made?

Sql*loader and sdo_geometry field

Is there a way to load longitude/latitude coordinates from a flat file directly into an sdo_geometry field with sql*loader? If so, does anyone have an example? I just want to create point features.

David,
Section 4.1.2 of the Spatial User Guide has examples for this:
LOAD DATA

TRUNCATE
CONTINUEIF NEXT(1:1) = '#'

3| 2001| -122.426| 37.803|
4| 2001| -122.4171| 37.8034|
5| 2001| -122.416151| 37.8027228|
You need to add the SRID field if you want to add the SRID to the geometry.
Or you can do that with SQL after the data is loaded into the DB.

SQL Loader Issues

I'm trying to lad a file into Oracle and I getting errors like:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "DW_SUPPORT"."ISAEO", column CLASS_CDE.
Variable length field exceeds maximum length.
This is for all my columns. Oracle is giving me different column widths than for the ones I've specified. In my control file, I've put:

SQL*Loader-307: Warning: conflicting lengths 5 and 7 specified for column CLASS_CDE table "DW_SUPPORT"."ISAEO"
I have no idea why its done this. It looks like it thinks I have spaces between my fields. Since I'm working with fixed width input fields do I somehow need to specify that I there are no spaces between fields? What do I need to do?

If you have some way for SQL Loader to identify that the the record is split or if you can alter how the files are generated to include a set character at the start of a record then you should be able to do this using CONTINUEIF.
If you can insert a character say $$ at the start of the record then include continueif this (1:2) = '%%' in the control file.
Other than that, it will depend on the format of your file. If your first field is always 3 characters wide you could do continueif this preserve (3:3) = ',' If it happens that the CR/LF occurs just before the closing quotes you could try continueif next preserve (1:1) = '"' Anything else and its going to be pretty difficult...

Hello,
(sorry I see it's the wrong forum -> SQL-Developer, I searched for SQL-Loader, is there a possibility to change the forum ?)
I can't find an answer for my question at google, so I hope there is someone in this forum who can help me.
I have a dat-File that contains 12 500 000 records and want to laod it via sql-loader. The first field contains the ID and there were numbers from 1 to 12 500 000 stored.
When I run the sql-loader, the ID run up to 9 999 999 and then, for the last 2 500 001 records, ist starts at 1 again.
I noticed a few things :
1. Numbers < 10 000 000 don't make Problems
2. Numbers >= 10 000 000 make Problems, the first digit ( in this example "1") is cut, so the number "10 000 001" ist stored as "1". It comes to double entries (IDs 1 to 2 500 000).
3. The same field-definition, I have for the third field of the record -> there is no Problem. THERE I can store any number.
4. I tried to store a number > 100 000 000 -> the first digit was cut too, but ONLY the first digit.
5. I'm able to store any number manually in the Database.
So, I have a problem with the first field. If the number is greater then 10 000 000, the first Number is cut. It doesn't make any differance, if the number is 10 000 000 or 999 999 999, just the first digit, in the first field, is cut.
Any idea ??????????

sorry, wrong forum. I opened the thread in forum "Export/Import/SQL-Loader & External Tables"

IMPORT TEXT W/SQL LOADER

I have a text file that has multiple records on a line, i want to bring in each as a separate record, then drop to the next line and continue a new set of data. each record is separated by a space. each line has max number of 40 records 54 characters long. I couldn't figure out how to use continueif with sql loader and make this work. Any suggestions??
Thank you,
STeven

Hi Steven
from whati understand you have a line in a flat file and this line will be seperated to seperate rows and inserted into the db??
if yes then this might help you
i suggest you create a function with an IN OUT parameter, which you feed the line and seperate it by a defined seperater, and use each portion as a seperate record/row.
ie:
FUNCTION TO_TEXTVAL
(P_TEXT_LINE IN OUT VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
V_SEP NUMBER(1000):= 0;
V_TEXT_LINE VARCHAR2(10000);
BEGIN
     V_SEP := INSTR(P_TEXT_LINE,';');
     IF V_SEP = 0 THEN
          V_TEXT_LINE := P_TEXT_LINE;
     ELSE
          V_TEXT_LINE     := SUBSTR(P_TEXT_LINE, 1, V_SEP - 1);
P_TEXT_LINE     := SUBSTR(P_TEXT_LINE, V_SEP + 1);
     END IF;
     RETURN (V_TEXT_LINE);
END TO_TEXTVAL;
here i have used a ';' as my seperator u can replace that with a ' ' (space) to do the job .
FUNCTION TO_TEXTVAL
(P_TEXT_LINE IN OUT VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
V_SEP NUMBER(1000):= 0;
V_TEXT_LINE VARCHAR2(10000);
BEGIN
     V_SEP := INSTR(P_TEXT_LINE,' ');
     IF V_SEP = 0 THEN
          V_TEXT_LINE := P_TEXT_LINE;
     ELSE
          V_TEXT_LINE     := SUBSTR(P_TEXT_LINE, 1, V_SEP - 1);
P_TEXT_LINE     := SUBSTR(P_TEXT_LINE, V_SEP + 1);
     END IF;
     RETURN (V_TEXT_LINE);
END TO_TEXTVAL;
then you can use this function in a procedure that calls UTL_FILE.GET_LINE builtin
ie:
     UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(v_filehandle, v_text);
               v_item_code := TO_TEXTVAL(v_text);
               v_item_qty := TO_TEXTVAL(v_text);
               v_prod_date := TO_DATE(TO_TEXTVAL(v_text), 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM');
hope this helps.

SQL*Loader Ref Column

Hallo,
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) = '#'

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

I am sure, on rereading the OPs email, you will see a disconnect between what was written and your response.
The maximum size of a VARCHAR2 columns is always 4000 bytes. The maximum size of a VARCHAR2 PL/SQL variable is always 32K bytes.
If someone is trying to load the text from an email that may exceed 4K into a table they must use a CLOB column if they wish it to be searchable as text.

Thanks Solomon that worked...
I've an other issue..
When I try to run the control file, only one row is inserted into the table. what could be the reason?
