I think still you are some missing in my requirement. Suppose, i have eight values now i want to insert into a single column of the table.
4424 4442 2441 5455
4345 6786 7686 6788
Errors are as follow:
==============
Table DRAW_LIST, loaded from every logical record.
Insert option in effect for this table: INSERT
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype
BOND_NUMBER FIRST * , CHARACTER
Record 55: Rejected - Error on table DRAW_LIST, column BOND_NUMBER.
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
any help ?

Filter data on GUI SQL Loader of 10g

I have a 10g and using the SQL developer to import data from an excel to a table.
after right click on the table and specify the file, i have to map the column, since there is no header info in the spreadsheet.
i then came into 2 problems
1) on column with data type, it will say the data is null or invalid format.
2) only a subset of the data in the sheet is needed, so, i like to place a where clause type criteria during the import.
how to i handle these two situations? is there step by step instructions to follow on each?
thanks.

Your problem is most likely in decode - the return type in your expression will be character based on first search value ('null'), so it will be implicitly converted to character and then again implicitly converted to date by loading into date column. At some of this conversions you probably are loosing your time part. You can try instead use cast:
SQL> desc t
Name                                      Null?    Type

SQL Loader Oracle 10g problem in upload date with time data -- Very urgent.

Hi
I am trying to upload data using SQL loader. There are three columns in the table
defined as DATE. When I tried upload a data like this '2007-02-15 15:10:20', it is not loading time part. The date stored as 02/15/2008' only. There is not time on that. I tried with many different format nothing work. Can please help me ?
I have also tried with to_date --> to_timestamp it did not work.
The application is going to be in production, I cannot change DATE to TIME STAMP. This is very urgent.
LASTWRITTEN "decode(:LASTWRITTEN,'null',Null, to_date(:LASTWRITTEN,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:Mi:SS'))",
CREATEDON "decode(:CREATEDON,'null',Null, to_date(:CREATEDON,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:Mi:SS'))",
LASTUPDATEDON(21) "decode(:LASTUPDATEDON,'null',Null, to_date(:LASTUPDATEDON(21),'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))"

Better would be to use external tables.

... and keep all your processing within the database rather than from the command line.

SQL Loader failure after migration from 9.2.0.7 to 10.2.0.3

Hi,
The following is the error comming up when trying to load the data using SQL Loader in 10g.
**SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulnain: error occurred on good insert [-1]**
**SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.**
the same data file is getting loaded sucessfully in 9i whith out any issues.
can any one kindly suggest on how to go about this issue.

From what I've found one cause of this error can be due to the way your client is connecting to the server. There was an issue when using Citrix, for example, that was remedied in 10.2.0.3. However, without more details it would be difficult to diagnose this specific situation. I would suggest filing a service request as noted above. Thanks.

SQl loader is not working in 10g but working in 9i

In My PC i have installed both 9i and 10g. could you please tell me why it is not working

"SQL loader is not working" is rather like "my car won't start" http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2005/06/how-to-ask-questions.html
The 9i Oracle Client install includes sqlldr. The 10g Oracle Client install does NOT include sqlldr. You'd have to do a "Custom" Install and specifically select "Oracle Database Utilities" to install.

Loading XML file using sql*loader (10g)

Hi Everyone....
I have a major problem. I have a 10g database and I need to use sql loader to load a large XML file into the database. This file contains records for many, many customers. This will be done several times and the number of records will vary. I want to use sql loader and load to a staging table, BUT SPLIT THE RECORDS OUT and add a sequence. I am having 2 problems.
In the 10g documentation, when you want to split the records you use the BEGINDATA clause and indicate something (like a 0) for each instance of a record. Well my first file has 3,722 records in it. How do I know the number of records in each XML file?
The second problem is that because this is XML, I thought that I could use ENCLOSED BY. But the start tag has an attribute /counter in it, sql*loader doesnt recognize the starting tag. (i.e.: start tag is: </CustomerRec number=1>
end tag is: </CustomerRec> )
So, I used TERMINATED BY '</CustomerRec>'. This will split out the records, but it will NOT include the ending tag of </CustomerRec> and when I use extract, I receive an XML parsing error.
I have tried to get the ending tag using CONTINUEIF and SKIP. But those options are for "records" and not lines.
Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 problems above. I am at my wits end and I need to finish this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry.... here is an example of what my control file looks like. At the end, I have 92 "0", but remember, I have 3722 records in this first file.
LOAD DATA (SKIP 1)
INFILE *

Loading data by sql loader in oracle 10g on linux

I am trying to load data in Oracle 10g on linux by using sql loader, but getting error
Problem in log showing that field length of SURNAME field is more than table field size.
Following is the error in log file of sql loader
Record 21: Rejected - Error on table TABLE1, column
SURNAME.
ORA-12899: value too large for column SURNAME (actual: 65, maximum: 64)
and it is evident from following controlfile that i am using trim to discard any space then why it is giving an error.
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TABLE1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
OPTION1 CHAR,
REF1 CHAR,
OTHER_REF CHAR,
TITLE "TRIM(:TITLE)",
FORENAME "TRIM(:FORENAME)",
SURNAME "TRIM(:SURNAME)",
JOINT_TITLE "TRIM(:JOINT_TITLE)",
JOINT_FORENAME "TRIM(:JOINT_FORENAME)",
JOINT_SURNAME "TRIM(:JOINT_SURNAME)",
I checked the bad file and count number of characters, they are 64 characters.
When i am inserting individual record from bad file by sql loader, it is loading

Probably your database character set is multi-byte. That is %UTF8 or AL16UTF16%
Post your NLS Database Parameters value
select * from nls_database_parameters;
In General varchar2(65) by default means 65 BYTES unless
you have changed your Defalut NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter from BYTE to CHAR.

Issues in calling Sql Loader through forms developer (10g)

Hi,
I am developing a form(in 10g) ,in which I am calling sql loader for loading data onto a oracle database table from external source (e.g. data file is a .CSV file).
But , somehow the sql loader is not getting executed.
Here , I am giving the environment settings , approach i am taking;
This is a distributed system , both the application server,and database server are mounted on two different servers.
The form is delpoyed on the application server.
The database table , and the sql loader are configured on the databse side.
I am using host(<sql loader command>) command to invoke the Operating System command through forms.
The sql loader is working ok , and the data is getting loaded successfully onto the required database table when I am executing the sql loader command on Unix prompt , but through the forms , it's not working.
Do I need to change some environmental setting to make this work...
Any quick help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Craig,
I have already tried out the option of calling sql loader through stored procedure,but this is not working ...
could you please share any examples to do so ...
code snippet i am using in forms:
declare
usid get_application_property(userid);
pwd get_application_property(password);
db get_application_property(host);
msqlldr varchar2(250);
begin
msqlldr:='/u01/oracle/formss/bin/sqlldr' username=<uid/pwd@db> control=<control file name> data=<data file name> log=<log file name>
hosts(msqlldr);
end;
Note that sqlldr command ,for that matter any unix shell command is not working through the hosts() command ...
could you please suggest any way out ...
Thanks.

Error with SQL Loader 10g

Hi,
I use SQL Loader to load files into my database running on Suse Linux. The loader is invoked by a Java application.
In Oracle 9i my string would be something like
sqlldr DATA='opt/test information/sample.dat' PARFILE=/opt/test.par
It worked.
When I ran the same string in 10g I got an error like
" multiple values not allowed for parameter 'data' "
I tried escaping the ' with a \ , like
sqlldr DATA=\'opt/test information/sample.dat\' PARFILE=/opt/test.par
Now it gives me a different error
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (opt/test information/302.DAT)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
I cannot remove the space from the directory. It has to be "test information".
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks,
Karthik

or better yet, you are on Linux so you have the luxury of creating a symbolic link to that directory and make the sym link without spaces and then use that in your sqlldr command line.
you can keep the directory with spaces and have sqlldr run from the sym link.

Hello:
You could consider using Oracle Heterogeneous Services to do this. If your Oracle database is on a Windows platform the link below shows you how to make a connection to SqlServer from an Oracle database.

Where can I find Oracle client for 10g (or earlier)? Look at the upper left corner of this page (there is red image "Download Oracle Software")...
Is SQL*Loader part of Oracle client? Yes it is.
