SQL Loader DATE type error

Hi,
I am having a problem while loading data from flat file to oracle. The flat file contains date and time in a single field and I want to insert that value into a column in oracle of DATE datatype.
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE CNTRL_DUAL
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' TRAILING NULLCOLS
PK INTEGER,
TS DATE "YYYY-MM-DD" TERMINATED BY ',',
ORDER_MONTH6 CHAR,
COUNTRY CHAR,
MONTH_END_DATE CHAR,
UPDATEDBY CHAR,
BEGINDATA
3,2004-08-12 10:35:06.447,199910,CI,19991102,NULL
CREATE TABLE CNTRL_DUAL
PK NUMBER(19) NOT NULL,
TS DATE,
ORDER_MONTH6 VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
COUNTRY VARCHAR2(4 BYTE) NOT NULL,
MONTH_END_DATE VARCHAR2(8 BYTE) NOT NULL,
UPDATEDBY VARCHAR2(16 BYTE)
I am facing problems with TS column.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
When I change my ctl file
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE X_ODI_CNTRL_DUAL
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' TRAILING NULLCOLS

8,2007-10-25,199765,CI,20001005,NULL,
the data has been inserted into oracle table but the data in TS column is inserted as:
the year 2009 is being displayed as 0009
PK     TS     ORDER_MONTH6     COUNTRY     MONTH_END_DATE     UPDATEDBY     STATUS_FLAG

Sql Loader Data Import Error!!!

Hi,
I have to import a huge volume of records from a CSV(150MB) file to table using sql loader. The input file contains '3286909' records. I am using the following control file and command to run the sql loader.
Control File:
lload data
infile Test.csv
into table TEST_LOAD
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
ID integer external,
PATH char
*Command:* --------------
C:\CSVFiles\CSV>sqlldr system/tiger control= test.ctl log=test.log readsize=200000000 bindsize=200000000
After running the above command I am able to import '1215717'. Once sql loader reaches this limit then it stops without any error. Somtimes I would get 'SQL*Loader-510: Physical record in data file (test.csv) is longer than the maximum(1048576)'
Please help me to perform this import operation.
Thanks

Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (NumberOfMultipleMatches).

Hi,
I have a file where fields are wrapped with ".
=========== file sample
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
"asdsa","asdsadasdas","1123"
==========
I am having a .net method to remove the wrap characters and write out a file without wrap characters.
======================
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
asdsa,asdsadasdas,1123
======================
the .net code is here.
========================================
public static string RemoveCharacter(string sFileName, char cRemoveChar)
object objLock = new object();
//VirtualStream objInputStream = null;
//VirtualStream objOutStream = null;
FileStream objInputFile = null, objOutFile = null;
lock(objLock)
try
objInputFile = new FileStream(sFileName, FileMode.Open);
//objInputStream = new VirtualStream(objInputFile);
objOutFile = new FileStream(sFileName.Substring(0, sFileName.LastIndexOf('\\')) + "\\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), FileMode.Create);

finally
objInputFile.Close();
objOutFile.Close();
return sFileName.Substring(0, sFileName.LastIndexOf('\\')) + "\\" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
==================================
however when I run the bulk load utility I get the error
=======================================
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (NumberOfMultipleMatches).
==========================================
the bulk insert statement is as follows
=========================================
BULK INSERT Temp

FIELDTERMINATOR = ','
, KEEPNULLS
==========================================
Does anybody know what is happening and what needs to be done ?
PLEASE HELP
Thanks in advance
Vikram

To load that file with BULK INSERT, use this format file:
9.0
4
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\"" 0 "" ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\",\"" 1 col1 Latin1_General_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\",\"" 2 col2 Latin1_General_CI_AS
4 SQLCHAR 0 0 "\"\r\n" 3 col3 Latin1_General_CI_AS
Note that the format file defines four fields while the fileonly seems to have three. The format file defines an empty field before the first quote.
Or, since you already have a .NET program, use a stored procedure with table-valued parameter instead. I have an example of how to do this here:

SQL Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be = [10000000]

Hi,
running SQL*Loader (Release 8.1.7.2.1) causes an error "SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be <= [10000000]". This error occurs when SQLLoader is trying to load several thousand records into a database table. Each record is less than 250 bytes in length.
Any idea what could cause the problem?
Thanks in advance!

As a second guess, the terminator changes or goes missing at some point in the data file. If you are running on *NIX, try wc -l data_file_name. This will give a count of the number of lines (delimited by CHR(10) ) that are in the file. If this is not close to the number you expected, then that is your problem.
You could also try gradually working through the data file loading 100 records, then 200, then 300 etc. to see where it starts to fail.

SQL Loader Multibyte character error, LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER

Hi,
startet SQL Loader Multibyte character error
{thread:id=2340726}
some mod locked the thread, why?
the solution for others:
add LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER to the controlfile
LOAD DATA characterset UTF8 LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
ID CHAR(1)
, TEXT CHAR(40)
)Regards

Hi Werner,
on my linux desktop:
$ file test.dat
test.dat: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
my colleague is working on a windows system.
On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.
Regards

Create sql loader data file dynamically

Hi,
I want a sample program/approach which is used to create a sql loader data file.
The program will read table name as i/p and will use
select stmt will column list derived from user_tab_columns from data dictionary
assuming multiple clob columns in the column list.
Thanks
Manoj

I 'm writing clob and other columns to a sql loader dat file.
Below sample code for writing clob column is giving file write error.

SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIInitialize [1804]

I tried using MassLoader to load some data into the local database on the Oracle 9i server. MassLoader first generated the data files and then called sqlldr to load the data into the db. It failed and I received SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIInitialize [1804]. I tried with Oracle 8i sqlldr and it worked fine. So, the problem seems to be with Oracle 9i sqlldr. Is there any fix for this or how can I investigate it? Thanks in advance.

The problem lies in permissions in $ORACLE_HOME. I had the problem and came up with two solutions. The first was to chmod 6751 sqlldr. The second I liked better was to go thru the subdirectores and insure that all of the files were marked as accessable by others. After talking with fellow dba's we changed the permissions to 755 on all directories but bin. Again this might not be the correct fix but it works
try again after changing
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
to
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_RDBMS/ocommon/nls/admin/data
try above solution and let us know.

SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIEnvCreate [-1]

I have an Oracle_Home env variable set to the oracle directory.
Please help

I know its an older thread and the thread was about Oracle 10.2.x I worked on client 11.2.0.1 but I thought I can share what I did to add sqlldr to instant Oracle client.
I used Oracle instant client 11.2.0.1 with sqlplus. I also downloaded and installed the full Oracle client 11.2.0.1 to have access to the sqlldr files. I chose Custom install and only installed the utilities.
- Within the oracle instant client directory make sure that you put all sqlldr related files into a bin directory.
- Make sure you have all libraries that are needed by sqlldr copied from the full client into the bin directory. Also copy the sqlldr.exe into the bin folder.
- Copy directory nls from the full client to the instant client (especially the information in subdirectory "data" seems to be needed)
- Copy directory rdbms from the full client to the instant client. This contains the error messages. I only copied mesg/oraus.msb and mesg/ulus.msb. However, if you dont get all files you risk that you will not have meaningful error messages.
- Copy directory oracore from the full client to the instant client (especially the information in subdirectory "timezone" seem to be needed).
To find out which files sqlldr is trying to access you can use strace, truss on Unix systems or ProcessMonitor on Windows.
To run the sqlldr I needed to set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to the instant client directory. I also created a tnsnames.ora file and set TNS_ADMIN to the directory the tnsnames.ora is located.

SQL*Loader-704: Internal error

Dear all,
I have run this command in windows
sqlplus a/b@c
it is connected successfully, I can run sql and results returned.
however, I run this sql loader command
sqlldr a/b@c control=test.ctl data=test.txt
but error is returned
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
what are the reasons and why?
thank you very much!

Hi,
I had the same problem. I already fixed it!
I use two ORACLE_HOME, one for Oracle Client and one for Oracle Developer Suite 10g. The sqlplus.exe is in both BIN directories, but sqlldr is only in client's ORACLE_HOME\BIN directory.
When you run sqlplus.exe, it uses tnsnames.ora from devsuite's ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN, I think, it contains rows for SID=c.
When you run sqlldr.exe, it uses tnsnames.ora from client's ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN, I think, it does not contain rows for SID=c (my tnsnames.ora did not contain them).
Make both tnsnames.ora the same and your problem will be fixed.

Based on your post there is an error in you initdg4msl.ora file............ make sure you the database connection is correct and you add the two statement to the file
for example
Should be: HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=YOURSQLSERVER//YOUR DATABASE
Make sure you to add the following to the same file (see page 92):
HS_NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR
HS_FDS_CHARACTER_SEMANTICS = TRUE
HS_KEEP_REMOTE_COLUMN_SIZE=ALL
Rerun the ETL process
