SQL loader import issue..

Hi,
I am working on 10g database on ibm AIX ..
i need to use sql loader and insert some data in to table using a input file.
The input file contains follwing format..- data.dat
001 901 200 1611196 "dis
ltype
gu" Mhamicddu kuasa 12as king
all these values are tab deliminated and one column value "disltypegu" is enclosed by " " and in next line. This "disltypegu" shuld be inserted in to one column.
I am using following control file..
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oracle/data.dat'
INSERT INTO TABLE emp
(e1,e2,e3,e4,e5,e6,e7,e8,e9)
any idea ...wht all things i need to include in my control file to perform this insert...
I am using below control file ..
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oracle/data1.csv'
APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'09'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ename,edd,emob)
By using this control file , we can import tab delemenated and enclosed by "" column ...it is working ..
Only thing is if some column data is in next row , it is treating it as a second row and inserting in to new row..
How to insert data in to one row..
This is my data file ... with 3 column values .. ( ename -Robin , edd - Address , emob - 13)
Robin "Address"
13
but it is inserting emob value (13) in ename ...like next line as a new row...

It looks to me like it is getting manually copied and pasted from notepad with line wrap turned on. You really need to address why the data is being wrapped across multiple lines (records).

SQL*Loader Import Problem

Hi,
I am trying to import some data from .txt file to a table in Oracle DB using TOAD- Sql*Loader - Import wizard. I was able to load all the files successfully. All the files are pipe(|) delimited. But in one of the files, when the values for the field is NULL - it is populated as ' ' (space), I have trouble in loading these files.
Suppose I have the fields f1, f2, f3, f4 in the .txt file. And say I have the data as following (and delimter as pipe(|)):
f1 f2 f3 f4 f5
r1|01|xyz|123|abc
r2|02| |234|bcd * 3rd column being null(space)
r3| |sam|345|def * 2nd field being null(space)
|04|ram|456|efg * 1st field being null(space)
|05|abc|567|gef * 1st column being null
I have problems loading the records 4,5 using Sql*loader, as the first field being null, the data is not being loaded properly. Is there any alternative way of loading this file into my table. Please help me.

Pl post OS and database versions, along with the contents of the loader control file and the loader log file with the errors.

Anything stand out?

Only thing I can think of is there is some character set issue between the control file and the operating syste/oracle server.
You did you create the control file using a text based editor such as notepad or wordpad didn't you? You haven't used something like MS Word?

SQL LOADER Import

Hello
So I have a export from a MYSQLl database a .sql file that I would like to import into oracle. Can I do that without creating a control file? Would I have to creat a control file for every table that is in the database?
Brian Sims

Hi Brian,
when you don't have a control file the defaults will be used and the defaults commonly don't work in general. As you can imagine every table has its own data types which commonly requires a dedicated control file for every table.
There's a dedicated SQL*Loader forum and they might be able to assist you to automate the process

SQL*Loader-500 Issue

Hello
Using Oracle 11g, I am trying to load a table from data in csv files with oracle SQL Loader,
table : purchase
control file : purchase.ctl
Even if I am giving the right path for control file I still get the error :
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (purchase.dat)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specifiedSo why is SQL Loader looking for the file purchase.dat??
Any help is appreciated

Talend is the right solution to load data. Now about your problem, have you configured Talend in order to transfer the data? Because Talend can easily transfer the files.
Maybe you might be able to go to the Talend website to get more information there: http://www.talend.com/

SQL*Loader permission issue?

I have set up a run_all script on LINUX to invoke SQL*Loader for each table to be loaded. I can run this as the Oracle owner just fine. When I try to let the developer run this on dev, they get the following:
SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Apr 25 08:55:18 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
SQL*Loader-128: unable to begin a session
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
They can use SQL*Plus on the command line with the userid and password from the SQL*Loader file. I don't want to have to run these for them every time, so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

SQL*Loader output issue

Hi,
When I load a flat file with SQL*Loader (V 8.1.7 on Windows), I get output something like,
Commit point reached - logical record count 2352
Commit point reached - logical record count 2364
Commit point reached - logical record count 2376
Commit point reached - logical record count 2388
Commit point reached - logical record count 2400
If I want to change this, say I want this message for each 1000 records inserted, how can I do that?
I have tried options line bindsize or rows, but looks like they are for changing internal operation, but not this screen output.
Off course, I am talking about conventional path load.
Any ideas?
Thanks

set rows=1000 and increase the bindsize drastically.
From the docs here
If that size fits within the bind array maximum, the load continues--SQL*Loader does not try to expand the number of rows to reach the maximum bind array size. If the number of rows and the maximum bind array size are both specified, SQL*Loader always uses the smaller value for the bind array.

SQL*LOADER connection issue

I have oracle 9i installed, if i'm to connect to the database using the sys account i getv a message saying have to connect as sysdba or sysoper. Ok so i use "username/password@database as sysdba", and that works fine i'm able to connect. But this does not work at the inital login screen, i have to connect as using this other account i created then log in useing the string above. My problem is now im using SQL*LOADER to load data into a table and it won't accept the connection string. If it use that connction string listed above i get the error "ORA-12154:could not resolve service name" and if i remove "as sysdba" from the end of the string i get error "ORA-01017: invalid username/password". I use to be able to just log on with just "sys" username is there any way to change it back or any other way to log on to SQL*LOADER. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

When you are working with SQL*Loader, SQL*Plus and other utilities you can specify what is the database to be connected through local naming (client, server ) or seeting an enviroment variable in the session. If you are getting connection in the server and you have problems resolving local naming, I recommend you to do this:
1.- Set the ORACLE_SID enviroment variable and do not use local naming resolving with tnsnames.ora entries
2.- Configure very well the tnsnames.ora & sqlnet.ora files to get connection.
If you are working directly in the server the first option is easier.
Setting the variable in Windows:
SET ORACLE_SID=<database_sid>
Setting the variable in Unix/Linux:
export ORACLE_SID=<database_sid>
if you need more help to do this step by step I can help you.

Sql loader - to_date() issue

How do I load the date field from the CSV *"03-Dec-09 10.06.58.00 PM"* into oracle tables using sql loader ?
The contol file is as follows:
LOAD DATA
INTO TABLE
CUSTOMER
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(CUST_ID,
ORDER_DATE "to_date(:ORDER_DATE, 'DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS.TT AM')"
but it doesn't work, I also tried _ORDER_DATE "DD/MM/YYYY"_ with no luck, any suggestion ?
I am kind of new in using SQL LOADER.
thanks.

The CSV sample you provided uses " *.* " in the time-component [ 10.06.58.00 ] while your SQL Loader Control file is expecting " *:* " [ HH:MI:SS.TT ]. These two formats are obviously not the same. Update your control file and try again.
CUST_ID, ORDER_DATE
1,03-Dec-10 10.06.58.00 PM
2,03-Dec-09 10.07.18.00 PM
3,03-Dec-11 04.07.18.00 AM
4,01-Dec-07 10.07.18.00 PM
5,03-Dec-10 10.07.18.00 AM

SQL Loader format issue

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the formatting of a date. My csv file, exported from another ora table, has the date in full date format ()
I get the error:
Record 12: Rejected - Error on table LOAN_VER_REQ_ARCH, column ORIGINATION_DATE.
ORA-01843: not a valid monthand two other fields that are date fields get similar errors.
Dates in .csv file appear as such:
For example - 10/26/2001 0:00:00
The question is in my ctl file, how do I format?
I've tried to_char(ORIGINATION_DATE,'MM-DD-YYYY') or
to_date(ORIGINATION_DATE,'MM-DD-YYYY') These dont' work. I don't recall doing any of this stuff in Ora 9i, but perhaps I wasn't loading date fields before in any tables I uploaded data into.
Any tips would be appreciated. I get a message on the command prompt about:
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Commit point reached - logical record count 39
Commit point reached - logical record count 78but that's incorrect because no records are going into the table. I'll worry about that part later though if I can get this date thing resolved.
Thanks!

Thanks!Well, the sample string you've provided doesn't match the formats you've been attempting to use. Yours are separated with a hyphen whereas your sample data is separated by a slash.
Is ALL the data in the same format?
If so, perhaps this (based on your sample string)....
TUBBY_TUBBZ?select to_date('10/26/2001 0:00:00', 'mm/dd/yyyy HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
TO_DATE('10/26/20010

SQL*Loader importing problem, with file with eastern european files

Hello,
on Oracle 11g with UTF-8 encoding, I tried to import a csv file into a table via sqlload, the separator is the semicolon ";" all work fine except for some lines witch are not well integrated (the concerned files come from Eastern European countries like Bulgary, Hungary and Czech Republic).
For example:
For:
text_1; text_2; text_with_char_at_end_like_š; new_text
during the integration instead of have:
| text_1 | text_2 | text_with_char_at_end_like_š| new_text |
I got:
| text_1 | text_2 | text_with_char_at_end_like_š; new_text | null |
does anyone has this problem, I tried to change the delimiter by code X'59', specified in sqlldr ENCODING UTF8 ... but it does not work
do you have an idea about this problem
Thank you in advance

Thanks,
the problem was solved since, the file was not in UTF8 format (for example GREEK FORMAT) and the NLS_LANG was AMERICAN_AMERICA ASCII
then i translate all files to UTF 8 and changed the NLS_LANG to UtF8.

How to load XML file to table (non-XML) with SQL*Loader -- issue with nulls

I have been attempting to use SQL*Loader to load an XML file into a "regular" Oracle table. All fields work fine, unless a null is encountered. The way that nulls are represented is shown below:
<PAYLOAD>
<FIELD1>ABCDEF</FIELD1>
<FIELD2/>
<FIELD3>123456</FIELD3>
</PAYLOAD>
In the above example, FIELD2 is a null field and that is the way it is presented. I have searched everywhere and have not found how I could code for this. The issue is that if FIELD2 is present, it is coded like: <FIELD2>SOMEDATA</FIELD2>, but the null is represented as <FIELD2/>. Here is a sample of the control file I am using to attempt the load -- very simplistic, but works fine when fields are present:
load data
infile 'testdata.xml' "str '<PAYLOAD>'"
TRUNCATE
into table DATA_FROM_XML
FIELD1 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD1>' AND '</FIELD1>',
FIELD2 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD2>' AND '</FIELD2>',
FIELD3 ENCLOSED BY '<FIELD3>' AND '</FIELD3>')
What do I need to do to account for the way that nulls are presented? I have tried everything I could glean from the web and the documentation and nothing has worked. Any help would be really appreciated.

I hadn't even got that far. can you direct me to where the docs are to import data that is stored within xml but that you don't need any xml functionality, that just happens to be the format the data is stored in? thx

How to export&import data using sql *loader

Hi all,
How to export&import data from sql*loader. Give me the clear steps..
Thanks in Advance

Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
1) create a sql*loader control file.
it looks like as follows
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sample.dat'
BADFILE 'sample.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
TRAILING NULLCOLS
or for sample script of control file search google.
2) at command prompt issue following
$ sqlldr test/test
enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
debug any errors (if occured)
