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.

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.

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 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 Date Problems

Hi Guys,
We have a SQL Loader script that used to data in the 'mm/dd/yyyy' format. Post migration of the script onto a seprate server the format is getting stored in 'dd/mm/yyyy' format in a VARCHAR datatype column for DOB.
Please find below the Loader script :
"insert into tsa_lists values ('" & ttsa_list_typ & "','" & ttsa_list_num & "',"
                                    if ttsa_list_typ <> "AuthRep" then

Please can you guys suggest a way.

1) That does not look like anything recognized by "SQL*Loader" utility.
2) If you just really mean a "sql" statement to load data...then:
a) If table column is date type, then use the TO_DATE() function
b) If column is Varchar2 you should not save date's in a varchar2 column.
In any case check out the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter on the database and or the same parameter on client side.

BW SQL 2005 import problem

Hi,
I'm trying to import one view from SQL 2005 DB. I took into consideration all rules like upper case view name, I gave the required permissions to the user BW and also created the view by the same user. There's no problem with reading data source through BW. I created info objects, defined transfer rules as well. But unfortunatelly when I try to take data to the packages it waits in not completed status wiht yellow sign. I have 10 transactions in the View.
I gave db owner, ddladmin and public permission to BW user from SQL side. ANy idea?

Solution to sql developer import problem - nullpointerexception

This isn't really a question, but I thought I should get the record of my tribulations posted so someone else won't have to work as hard as I did.
Importing from a spreadsheet that has a blank column will give 'an error has occurred' and a stacktrace like :
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.dbtools.raptor.dialogs.importdata.ExcelImportDialog.getStringValue(ExcelImportDialog.java:291)
     at oracle.dbtools.raptor.dialogs.importdata.ExcelImportDialog.populateModel(ExcelImportDialog.java:347)
     at oracle.dbtools.raptor.dialogs.importdata.ExcelImportDialog.displayExcelDialog(ExcelImportDialog.java:148)
     at
Getting rid of that column, should get you past this point and to the import wizard.

The import from xls feature has been rewritten from the scratch and a new "Import Data" wizard has been made available in SQLDEV 1.5 EA3, that is yet to be announced. This should take care of the blanks in xls. The new wizard will also support import from cvs files. Watch for EA3 announcement to try out the new Import Data wiz.

Problem import csv file with SQL*loader and control file

I have a *csv file looking like this:
E0100070;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;1;2003-06-16;01C;75
E0100075;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;500;2003-06-16;01C;67
E0100440;EKKJ 2X2,5/2,5 1 KV;1;2003-06-16;01C;37,2

E0100455;EKKJ 2X4/4 1 KV;500;2003-06-16;01C;47,1
I want to import this csv file to this table:
create table artikel (artnr varchar2(10), namn varchar2(25), fp_storlek number, datum date, mtrlid varchar2(5), pris number);
My controlfile looks like this:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'e:\test.csv'
INSERT
INTO TABLE ARTIKEL
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ARTNR, NAMN, FP_STORLEK char "to_number(:fp_storlek,'99999')", DATUM date 'yyyy-mm-dd', MTRLID, pris char "to_number(:pris,'999999D99')")
I cant get sql*loader to import the last column(pris) as I want. It ignore my decimal point which in this case is "," and not "." maybe this is the problem. If the decimal point is the problem how can I get oracle to recognize "," as a decimal point??
the result from the import now, is that a decimal number (37,2) becomes 372 in the table

Set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS environment variable at OS level, before running SqlLoader :
$ cat test.csv
E0100070;EKKJ 1X10/10 1 KV;1;2003-06-16;01C;75

URGENT: Problems Loading files with SQL Loader into a BLOB column

Hi friends,
I read a lot about how to load files into blob columns, but I found errors that I can't solve.
I've read several notes in these forums, ine of them:
sql loader: loading external file into blob
and tried the solutions but without good results.
Here are some of my tests:
With this .ctl:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE mytable
REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
number1 INTEGER EXTERNAL,
cad1 CHAR(250),
image1 LOBFILE(cad1) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
1153,/opt/oracle/appl/myapp/1.0.0/img/1153.JPG,
the error when I execute sqlldr is:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 9.
Expecting "," or ")", found "LOBFILE".
image1 LOBFILE(cad1) TERMINATED BY EOF
^
What problem exists with LOBFILE ??
(mytable of course has number1 as a NUMBER, cad1 as VARCHAR2(250) and image1 as BLOB
I tried too with :
LOAD DATA
INFILE sample.dat
INTO TABLE mytable
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(cad1 CHAR(3),
cad2 FILLER CHAR(30),
image1 BFILE(CONSTANT "/opt/oracle/appl/myapp/1.0.0/img/", cad2))
sample.dat is:
1153,1153.JPEG,
and error is:
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 6.
Expecting "," or ")", found "FILLER".
cad2 FILLER CHAR(30),
^
I tried too with a procedure, but without results...
Any idea about this error messages?
Thanks a lot.

> So you think that if one person put an "urgent" in the subject is screwing the problems of
other people?
Absolutely. As you are telling them "My posting is more important than yours and deserve faster attention and resolution than yours!".
So what could a typical response be? Someone telling you that his posting is more important by using the phrase "VERY URGENT!". And the next poster may decide that, no, his problem is evern more import - and use "EXTREMELY URGENT!!" as the subject. And the next one then raises the stakes by claiming his problem is "CODE RED! CRITICAL. DEFCON 4. URGENT!!!!".
Stupid, isn't it? As stupid as your instance that there is nothing wrong with your pitiful clamoring for attention to your problem by saying it is urgent.
What does the RFC's say about a meaningful title/subject in a public forum? I trust that you know what a RFC is? After all, you claim to have used public forums on the Internet for some years now..
The RFC on "public forums" is called The Usenet Article Format. This is what it has to say about the SUBJECT of a public posting:
=
The "Subject" line (formerly "Title") tells what the message is about. It should be suggestive enough of the contents of the message to enable a reader to make a decision whether to read the message based on the subject alone.

As for when I have an "urgent" problem? In my "real" work? I take it up with Oracle Support on Metalink by filing an iTAR/SR. As any non-idiot should do with a real-life Oracle crisis problem.
I do not barge into a public forum like you do, jump up and down, and demand quick attention by claiming that my problem is more important and more urgent and more deserving of attention that other people's problem in the very same forum.

SQL*Loader problem - not efficient, parsing error for big xml files

Hi Experts,
First of all, I would like to store xml files in object relation way. Therefore I created a schema and a table for it (see above).
I wants to propagate it (by using generated xml files), hence I created a control file for sql loader (see above).
I have two problems for it.
1, It takes a lot of time. It means I can upload a ~80MB file in 2 hours and a half.
2, At bigger files, I got the following error messages (OCI-31011: XML parsing failed OCI-19202: Error occurred in XML processing LPX-00243: element attribute value must be enclosed in quotes). It is quite interesting because my xml file is generated and I could generated and uploaded the first and second half of the file.
Can you help me to solve these problems?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi Odie_63,
Thanks for your answer.

Problem using SQL Loader with ODI

Hi,
I am having problems using SQL Loader with ODI. I am trying to fill an oracle table with data from a txt file. At first I had used "File to SQL" LKM, but due to the size of the source txt file (700MB), I decided to use "File to Oracle (SQLLDR)" LKM.
The error that appears in myFile.txt.log is: "SQL*Loader-101: Invalid argument for username/password"
I think that the problem could be in the definition of the data server (Physical architecutre in topology), because I have left blank Host, user and password.
Is this the problem? What host and user should I use? With "File to SQL" works fine living this blank, but takes to much time.
Thanks in advance

I tried to use your code, but I couldn´t make it work (I don´t know Jython). I think the problem could be with the use of quotes
Here is what I wrote:
import os
retVal = os.system(r'sqlldr control=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.ctl log=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.log userid=MYUSER/myPassword @ mySID')
if retVal == 1 or retVal > 2:
raise 'SQLLDR failed. Please check the for details '
And the error message is:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 5, in ?
SQLLDR failed. Please check the for details

Problem with field-length in sql-loader

Hello,
(sorry I see it's the wrong forum -> SQL-Developer, I searched for SQL-Loader, is there a possibility to change the forum ?)
I can't find an answer for my question at google, so I hope there is someone in this forum who can help me.
I have a dat-File that contains 12 500 000 records and want to laod it via sql-loader. The first field contains the ID and there were numbers from 1 to 12 500 000 stored.
When I run the sql-loader, the ID run up to 9 999 999 and then, for the last 2 500 001 records, ist starts at 1 again.
I noticed a few things :
1. Numbers < 10 000 000 don't make Problems
2. Numbers >= 10 000 000 make Problems, the first digit ( in this example "1") is cut, so the number "10 000 001" ist stored as "1". It comes to double entries (IDs 1 to 2 500 000).
3. The same field-definition, I have for the third field of the record -> there is no Problem. THERE I can store any number.
4. I tried to store a number > 100 000 000 -> the first digit was cut too, but ONLY the first digit.
5. I'm able to store any number manually in the Database.
So, I have a problem with the first field. If the number is greater then 10 000 000, the first Number is cut. It doesn't make any differance, if the number is 10 000 000 or 999 999 999, just the first digit, in the first field, is cut.
Any idea ??????????

sorry, wrong forum. I opened the thread in forum "Export/Import/SQL-Loader & External Tables"

How to Import data via SQL Loader with characterset UTF16 little endian?

Hello,
I'm importing data from text file into one of my table which contains blob column.
I've specified following in my control file.
-----Control file-------
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF16
BYTEORDER LITTLE
INFILE './DataFiles/Data.txt'
BADFILE './Logs/Data.bad'
INTO TABLE temp_blob truncate
FIELDS TERMINATED BY " "
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(GROUP_BLOB,CODE)
Problem:
SQL Loader always importing data via big endian. Is there any method available using which we can convert these data to little endian?
Thanks

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.
