SQL Loader - double quote within data

Hi,
I'm putting together some SQL loader scripts to load source data into a DB. The data we are receiving is comma delimited, optionally enclosed by double quotes (").
e.g. "abc","123","this is a "test"","987"
The problem I've got is that some data items contain double quotes ("test") as part of the data and this cause the SQL Loader to fall over with the error:
Record 14644: Rejected - Error on table x, column y.
no terminator found after TERMINATED and ENCLOSED field
Is it possible to load this without changing the extraction process from the source system?
My .ctl file looks like this:
LOAD DATA
     INFILE '../data/toload/BR_ADDRESS.CSV'
     APPEND INTO TABLE STA_COMP_BRADD
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
     etc....

Hi,
Look in to this in Oracle documentation:
"If two delimiter characters are encountered next to each other, a single occurrence of the delimiter character is used in the data value. For example, 'DON''T' is stored as DON'T. However, if the field consists of just two delimiter characters, its value is null."

SQL Loader: double quotes inside double quotes

Hello,
I need to find a solution for loading some data that contains double quotas. The csv contains data like:
"1";"Name1";"Name2"
"2";"Name3 "another thing here"";"Name4"
"3";"Name33 "thing here"";"Name "name" Name"
The data inside the " " must be loaded exactly as it is, that means that in the DB, for row2, column2 the data must be: Name3 "another thing here". I cannot remove the qoutes.
the CTL:
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
INTO table table_name
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
Column1,
Column2,
Column3
Could anyone help on this?

try with this ctl
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET AL32UTF8
INTO table table_name
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
Column1,
Column2,
Column3

This is my CTL file code generated by workbench.

Can i export without double quotes in data files?

How can i export without double quotes in data files using dataexport commands in MaxL?

I don't know of any way to do any formatting in a straight export out of Essbase. BSO lets you choose between a columnar vs. free form (really Essbase) format. That lack of formatting includes removing double quotes.
If you're willing to put up with the limitations (and formatting issues) of an MDX extract to a log file, that approach does not put double quotes around member names. The same is true in Report Scripts although I have a vague recollection that you can put in double quotes if you want it -- obviously you do not.
There are limitations to the above two approaches, the biggest being that they they are not as efficient as a true MaxL export. OTOH, you may want only part of a database to get exported out in which case either approach may be more to your needs.
If in fact you do want to do a full export, there are lots of OS-level ways of removing double quotes. Here's a Windows-based approach:

What would life be without hacks like the above? Probably not worth living.

PL/SQL: quoting problems (double quotes within PL/SQL, howto?)

Hello,
I have a big problem with that: I just cannot use execute immediate to do what I want.
The goal is that another user than sysdba needs to be able to open/close the wallet (we are sysdba and our client doesn't want us to be able to open the wallet, and we don't want the client to have sysdba), so I take advantage of the fact that procedures are executed by default with the privileges of the user which writes it. So, I try and create a PL/SQL procedure as sys and grant execute rights to the client user.
To open/close a wallet, the command is:
alter system set encryption wallet open/close identified by "thepasshere";
Note the double quotes... They are the problem here (passwords are mixed case and contain special characters). Right now, the only solution I came up with is:
create or replace procedure open_wallet (passwd in varchar2) is
begin
execute immediate 'alter system set encryption wallet open identified by "' || passwd || '";';
end;
But that's vulnerable to code injection... So, instead, I tried:
create or replace procedure open_wallet (passwd in varchar2) is
cmd varchar2(512);
begin
cmd != 'alter system set encryption wallet open identified by ":1"';
execute immediate cmd using passwd;
end;
which yields "ORA-00911: invalid character" - uh?
Now, if I try:
create or replace procedure open_wallet (passwd in varchar2) is
cmd varchar(512);
begin
cmd := 'alter system set encryption wallet open identified by :1;';
execute immediate cmd using passwd;
end;
it answers "ORA-28357: password required to open the wallet"
Aaargh! I see no way around that :(
Is there a solution at all?

Did you try including the double quotes in the password bind value? Either when you pass the value in or by adding it in the routine.
create or replace procedure open_wallet (passwd in varchar2) is
cmd varchar(512);
pass varchar(512);
begin
cmd := 'alter system set encryption wallet open identified by :1;';
pass := '"' || passwd || '"';
execute immediate cmd using pass;
end;

SQL Loader (how to cut data header)

Hi there,

I got the following text file:

rec;        123;     18; "VHZ"
rec;        124;     13; "VTZ"    Now I am interested in the column TBL and ATR and follwing rawdata
Do you see a way to automatically create the table MENGE_FR with columns BASIS_VERSION; FGR_NR;FGR_TEST and column types num, num, char and insert the raw data below?
PS:OK, this is mysql ...so I need to convert this first to sql. So you should see num as number.
Thx in advance Thorsten

There are various ways that you could do this. I have demonstrated one method below. I created a table with two columns, then used SQL*Loader to load the data from the text file into those two columns. Skipping the header rows is optional. You could also use an external table instead, if the text file is on your server, not your client. I then used some PL/SQL to create and execute "create table" and "insert" statements. This is just some starter code. You will need to make modifications to handle other data types and such that were not in the example that you provided, but it should give you the general idea.

I replace each space with an asterisk. You have 5 columns according to your spec (terminated by '<space>')
SQL Loader doesn't know that M.E. Deals is the supplier name.
It's trying to convert 7 as the date.

SQL*Loader Error Field in data file exceeds maximum length", version 8.1.6

Hi All,
I am trying to load a data file into a database table using SQL loader. I
received the data in an data file but I saved it as a pipe delimited
file.
When I run the SQL Loader command no records are loaded - looking at the log
file I get the following error:
Rejected - Error on table FARESDATA, column FANOTESIN.
Then I tried with substr and doesnt seem to work for values greater than 4000 chars, it only works if the field value is below 4000 chars (say doing a substr for first 3000 chars).
see the code--------
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'p.dat'
APPEND INTO TABLE PROSPECTUS
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
Fanotesin char(4000) "substr(:fanotesin,1,4000)"
We get the error ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column when using substr for 4000 chars.
Please help!
Thanks,
Rajesh

I believe the problem here is that the ORACLE database regards anything > 4000chs as a CLOB (or LONG). 4000 is the maximum length of a varchar2 field in the database, although of course you can declare larger values in PL/SQL. (Since the incoming data is > 4000 chs it is regarded as a LONG and you cannot therefore use SUBSTR on it)
I think that you must either truncate your data before loading or load into a table with the offending field as a CLOB (or LONG)
and then use PL/SQL to recreate it in a table with a varchar2(4000) which is otherwise identical. (You can select from a LONG into a varchar2(32000) for example and then truncate before writing out to the new table).

SQL Loader Null Value for Date

Dear buddies,
This is how my date column is in my control file.
dtEdu timestamp(6) with local time zone "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS" "nvl (to_date (:dtEdu, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), to_date ('1982-03-01 00:00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))", The problem is some of the columns in dtEdu has NULL values and I couldn't load them.
So, trying to replace it with something else.
Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot.
Nith

I don't know how your so called "NULL" values look like, but if the null data is actually made up of blanks, try adding LTRIM() around :dtEdu.

Sql loader problem with point data

I am struggling to import bulk point data.
Example line from data file
2     1     Highest mountain on Skye with steep faces and narrow ridges.     4     32     3001     8307     57.206116     -6.223032     992
So its all tab deliminated
3001 is sdo_gtype
8307 is sdo_srid
57.xxx is my X point
-6.xxx is my Y point
992 is my Z point
I can import all of the data apart from the final section, and my loader looks like:
GEOM COLUMN OBJECT
SDO_GTYPE INTEGER EXTERNAL TERMINATED BY X'09' ,
SDO_SRID INTEGER EXTERNAL TERMINATED BY X'09',
SDO_POINT_TYPE(X,Y,Z) INTEGER EXTERNAL TERMINATED BY ','
Any help? I simply need it take the last three numbers and assign them to x,y,z of point_type.
Need any more info?

TSEdinburgh,
Try
LOAD DATA INFILE * APPEND INTO TABLE MyTable
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'09' TRAILING NULLCOLS
     MyCol1,
     MyCol2,
     description,
     MyCol3,
     MyCol4,
     geom COLUMN OBJECT (
          sdo_gtype INTEGER EXTERNAL,
          sdo_srid INTEGER EXTERNAL,
          sdo_point COLUMN OBJECT (
               x FLOAT EXTERNAL,
               y FLOAT EXTERNAL,
               z FLOAT EXTERNAL
)Regards,
Noel
