SQL loader Field in data file exceeds maximum length for CLOB column
Hi all
I'm loading data from text file separated by TAB and i got the error below for some lines.
Event the column is CLOB data type is there a limitation of the size of a CLOB data type.
The error is:
Record 74: Rejected - Error on table _TEMP, column DEST.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length
I'm using SQL Loader and the database is oracle 11g r2 on linux Red hat 5
Here are the line causing the error fronm my data file and my table description for test:

Thanks for the reply.
Do you mean this?
CREATE TABLE "TEST"."TEST_TAB"
"STR" VARCHAR2(4001),
"STR2" VARCHAR2(4001),
"STR3" VARCHAR2(4001)
);However this does not work as the error would be:
Error at Command Line:8 Column:20
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype
00910. 00000 - "specified length too long for its datatype"
*Cause: for datatypes CHAR and RAW, the length specified was > 2000;
otherwise, the length specified was > 4000.
*Action: use a shorter length or switch to a datatype permitting a
longer length such as a VARCHAR2, LONG CHAR, or LONG RAW*009*

Field in data file exceeds maximum length - CTL file error
Hi,
I am loading data in new system using CTL file. But I am getting error as 'Field in data file exceeds maximum length' for few records, other records are processed successfully. I have checked the length of the error record in the extract file, it is less than the length in the target table, VARCHAR2 (2000 Byte). Below is the example of error data,
Hi Rebecca~I have just spoken to our finance department and they have agreed that the ABCs payments made can be allocated to the overdue invoices, can you send any future invoices direct to me so that I can get them paid on time.~Hope this is ok ~Thanks~Terry~
Is this error caused because of the special characters in the string?
Below is the ctl file I am using,
OPTIONS (SKIP=2)

AdityaHi,
I suspect this is because of the built in default length of character datatypes in sqldr - it defaults to char(255) taking no notice of what the actual table definition is.
Try adding CHAR(2000), to your controlfile so you end up with something like this:
OPTIONS (SKIP=2)
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
INFILE '$FILE'
APPEND
INTO TABLE "XXDM_DM_17_ONACCOUNT_REC_SRC"

I did a little investigating, and it doesn't add up.

I am not seeing why this would be failing.HI,
the problem is delimited data defaults to char(255)..... Very helpful I know.....
what you need to two is tell sqlldr hat the data is longer than this.
so change notes to notes char(4000) in you control file and it should work.

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
nullI 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). -
Variable length field exceeds maximum length for VARRAW in SQLLOADER
Hi All,
I am trying to load some signature ascii data from load file. so i wrote the code like below in my controal file to load that to database. For SIGN_IMAGE in oracle db it was mentioned as RAW(2000). The below is worked fine when i tried in window and oracle 8i environment.
SIG_TYPE POSITION(23:23) CHAR,
SIGN_IMAGE POSITION(24:1977) VARRAW(2000)
NULLIF SIGN_IMAGE=BLANKS,
SIGN_IMAGE1 POSITION(1978:3930) VARRAW(2000)
NULLIF SIGN_IMAGE1=BLANKS
But when i ported the same thing to solaris and oracle 10g environment. The below code is giving error when SQL Loder loading.
The error is like : Variable length field exceeds maximum length.
But here i am giving a lenght of 1954 only with including 2 bytes length of the string.
Could any one tell me what is exactly the problem? i am not able sort out the issue.
Thanks,
ShashiPlease only post in a single forum. Thank you.

/Thanks for the quick response. I am not able to modify the source file, but will it be possible to set the value to NULL if it exceeds the max length instead of failure?

SQL*Loader to insert data file name during load
I'd like to use a single control file to load data from different files (at different times) to the same table. I'd like this table to have a column to hold the name of the file the data came from. Is there a way for SQL*Loader to automatically do this? (I.e., as opposed to running an update query separately.) I can edit the control file before each load to set a CONSTANT to hold the new data file name, but I'd like it to pick this up automatically.
Thanks for any help.
-- HarveyHello Harvey.
I've previously attempted to store a value into a global/local OS variable and use this within a SQL*Loader control file (Unix OS and Oracle versions between 7.3.4 and 10g). I was unsuccessful in each attempt and approach I could imagine. It was very easy to use a sed script to make a copy of the control file, changing a string within it to do this however.
Do you really want to store a file name on each and every record? Perhaps an alternative would be to use a relational model. Create a file upload log table that would store the file name and an upload # and then have the SQL*Loader control file call a function that would read that table for the most recent upload #. You'll save some disk space too.
Hope this helps,

SQL Loader - data exceeds maximum length
I am having an issue with SQL Loader falsely reporting that a column is too long in a CSV upload file. The offending column, Notes, is defined in the staging table as VARCHAR2(1000). The text in the Notes column in the upload file for the record that is being rejected is only 237 characters long. I examined the raw data file with a hex editor and there are no special cahracters embedded in the column. The CSV upload was recreated but the false error remains.
Any ideas what to check? Any suggestion appreciated.
Here are the pertinent files.

Sql*loader field length issue
so I'm loading a file and it's rejected a record where "field in data file exceeds maximum length" the record it's failing on has data length of 625 characters. I'm loading it into a table with a field type of varchar2(1024).
for the life of me, I can't figure out why it's failing. I've even gone and manually copy and pasted the rogue record into the table (via Toad) and it works fine, but I need it to load via SQL*loader.
there is no white space that i'm not counting. Can anyone suggest where to look next?Hi,
Just change the problematic field in the control file as
load
field char(1000),
If you give the length in the control file, ur problem ll be solved.

How to store data file name in one of the columns of staging table
My requirement is to load data from .dat file to oracle staging table. I have done following steps:
1. Created control file and stored in bin directory.
2. Created data file and stored in bin directory.
3. Registered a concurrent program with execution method as SQL*Loader.
4. Added the concurrent program to request group.
I am passing the file name as a parameter to concurrent program. When I am running the program, the data is getting loaded to the staging table correctly.
Now I want to store the filename (which is passed as a parameter) in one of the columns of staging table. I tried different ways found through Google, but none of them worked. I am using the below control file:
OPTIONS (SKIP = 1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE '&1'
APPEND INTO TABLE XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
COUNTRY_NAME
,COUNTRY_CODE
,ORDER_CATEGORY
,ORDER_NUMBER
,RECORD_ID "XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB_S.NEXTVAL"
,FILE_NAME CONSTANT "&1"
,REQUEST_ID "fnd_global.conc_request_id"
,LAST_UPDATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,LAST_UPDATE_DATE SYSDATE
,CREATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,CREATION_DATE SYSDATE
,INTERFACE_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
,RECORD_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
I want to store file name in the column FILE_NAME stated above. I tried with and without constant using "$1", "&1", ":$1", ":&1", &1, $1..... but none of them worked. Please suggest me the solution for this.
Thanks,
AbhayPl post details of OS, database and EBS versions. There is no easy way to achieve this.
