Here is datafile sample:
B20AK11570A B20AK11570A 6594362054 0 6872
B20AK11570A B20AK11570A 6596312051 6 6878
B20AK11570A B20AK11570A 6596362043 33 17217
Here is table structure:
FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
PRODUCT_CODE VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
PROGRAM_ID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
COMPONENT_ID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
BAD_PCS VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
GOOD_PCS VARCHAR2(20 CHAR)
thanks for all suggestions

Can not be done unless you hard code it either into your control file or the file you are loading.

Hello I had an iPhone 5 that i have now lost. I'd like to access the backup for that phone, particularly the notes data. Is it possible to access the backup data via my iPad air?

Sql loader and bulk data

hi,
I want to insert 100,000 records daily in a table for the first month and then in next month these records are going to be replaced by new updated records.
there might be few addition and deletion in the previous records also.
actually its consumer data so there might be few consumer who have withdrawn the utility and there will be some more consumer added in the database.
but almost 99% of the previous month data have to be updated/replaced with the fresh month data.
For instance, what i have in my mind is that i will use sql loader to load data for the first month and then i will delete the previous data using sqlPlus and load the fresh month data using sql loader again.
1. Is this ok ? or there is some better solution to this.
2. I have heard of external files, are they feasible in my scenario?
3. I have planned that i will make scripts for sqlPlus and Loader and use them in batch files. (OS windows 2003 server, Oracle 9i database). is there some better choice to make all the procedure automatic?
looking for your suggestions

I would suggest u use External tables since its more flexible then
sqlloader & is a better option.
For using external tables
1)u will have to create a directory first
2)Generally creation od directory is done by sys,hence after creating the directory
privileges read & write to be provided to user .
3)Creation of external tables.
4) Now use the table as a normal table to insert ,update delete in
ur table.
U can get more information from
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/SQLNewFeatures9i.php#ExternalTables
Create Directory <directory_name> as <Directory path where file be present>
Grant read,write on directory <directory_name> to <username>
CREATE TABLE <table_name>
(<column names>)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY ,directory_name>
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LOCATION (<filename>)
PARALLEL 5
REJECT LIMIT 200;
Hope this helps.

Loading leap year date using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I have a problem loading a date '29/02/2000' using SQL*Loader. This date is on a leap year. I'm getting an error message from SQL*Loader as 'ORA-01839: date not valid for month specified'. My colleague and I have tried using various date functions to convert the data into date, but no luck.
I would appreciate any helps,
Bruce

Thanks for your help, I found the bug on my control file. I was using the RTRIM function to remove bad timestamp such as '29/02/2000 0:00:00'. So instead of using this statement:
LOG_DATE DATE "DD/MM/RRRR" "RTRIM(:LOG_DATE,'0:00:00')"
I was using the statement below with a space before the '0:00:00' string literal, with the intention to remove a space also:
LOG_DATE DATE "DD/MM/RRRR" "RTRIM(:LOG_DATE,' 0:00:00')"
Well, it turned out that if there was a space before the string literal, RTRIM function would trim the matching string plus any '0' characters from the right, including the '000' that belongs to '2000'. Thus, the error.
Thanks again,
Bruce

SQL*LOADER how to load blanks when data is null

I need to load data which contains null values into a table which cannot contains nulls. How can I tell SQL*LOADER to load blanks in a column when the input data is nulls?

I think something like this in your control file should work:
col1 char(10) nvl(col1,' ')

Hi Toni,
Thanks for the reply.
Do you mean this?
CREATE TABLE "TEST"."TEST_TAB"
    "STR" VARCHAR2(4001),
    "STR2" VARCHAR2(4001),
    "STR3" VARCHAR2(4001)

ORACLE 8I SQL*LOADER DATAFILE의 특정 FIELD DATA를 SKIP하고 LOADING하는 방법

ORACLE 8I SQL*LOADER DATAFILE의 특정 FIELD DATA를 SKIP하고 LOADING하는 방법

아래의 예제와 같이 가변 길이의 filed들이 ',', '|' 와 같은 구분자로
구분이 되고 있는 경우 oracle 8i부터 제공되는 'FILLER'라고 하는 필드
구분자를 사용하여 상태인식자로 표시하여 insert시 skip할 수 있다.

SQL Loader and formatting dates

I've got dates formatted like so: 2012-05-10T17:04:51-08:00
How can I get SQL Loader to load these into a Date column??
Thanks

Thanks for the reply-
SQL Loader is running on Win, Oracle 11 on Linux
The format is standard UTC
YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MI:SS±HH:MM Where the ±HH:MM refers to time zone offset from GMT. The "T" is just a separator between date and time (and is always "T").
I looked at your references, and tried a few dozen variants without success.
Most of my attempts have been using something similar to this
"YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MI:SSTZH:TZM"
or this:
"YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH24:MI:SSTZH:TZM"
or this:
'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SSTZH:TZM'
Thanks

Loading data including Smart Lists data using ODI Planning KM

Hi all,
a question regarding ODI loading Smart Lists Data...
Can somebody confirm if we can load data from a source file which has the smart lists labels, instead of the smart list values id (ex: YES instead of 1)? i suppose Planning will do the conversion when loading to essbase
By the way, is Outline load utility working in the same way?
Thanks in advance

Hi John,
not because your site was blocked by the customer's firewall :-(
by the way I was referring to loading data containing smart lists accounts. In any case, I have seend that you have other blog entry where you were loading data using labels instead of keys
http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2009/05/odi-series-loading-smart-list-data-into.html
This is what I was looking for.
Another question, in outline load we have the chance of putting driver members in the source file which makes the process more flexible. Think if our driver members (Accounts) change dynamically.
Wuold it be any customization possible to add the same functionality to the ODI Planning KM?
We are not likely to use Essbase KM and joins with Plannign repository tables as our source data has dates, free text, figures,smarlists accounts, etc.
Thanks!

Load rows with date fileds include time

Hi, I need to load rows with SQLLoader. The data has am field with date and time but using mask don4t load the time, only date. How do I load date and time?
Thanks...

The following should work to load both the date and time (as long as it is not rejected for some reason)date_cancel date "YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS"To display the date and time after it has been loaded, you will have to use on of the following:ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM';
or
SELECT to_char(<column_name,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') from <table_name>;
