Sql loader issue ; please reply

Hi All
I added 2 extra columns to an existing table .
table tab (ATTD_IND,
ATTD_ID,
SEQ_NO,
CREATE_DATE "to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd')",
CYCLE_DT_CD "to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd')",
CMEH_ID,
ATTENDEE_TYPE,
This table is populated using loader. The issue is the file which we get is having data till seq_no .So the ctl. file works as create date and cycle dt are the last columns values defaulted to sysdate. We dont get them in the file. Now the file would have 2 new columns after seq_no , which are cmeh id and attendee type.
the issue is how to load these using the ctl file. I cant change the table and make create date and cycle date as the last columns. FILLER does not work here as I am not skipping any columns in the data file.
Please respond and guide me
thanks

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

Hi,
Try changeing the line with decode to,

SQL*Loader issue with WHEN command

Environment: R12.1.2
We have a file coming in from a bank that needs to be loaded into a custom table using SQL*Loader.
The file has multiple record formats. Each record in the file starts with a "record type", which defines the format.
For simplicity, let me say that there is a record type of "H" with the header format, and another record type "D" has a detail record format. An "H" record may be followed by multiple "D" records until the next "H" record is encountered. Unfortunately, there is no common key, like say "Vendor Number" in both the "H" and "D" records to establish a relationship. So the plan was to use a Oracle sequence or SQL*Loader sequence to get a sequence loaded into the table as the file is being loaded. Then if consecutive "H" records had a sequence value of 100 and 112, we would know that the "D" records for the "H" 100 record are all the records with sequence value of 101 through 111.
The issue occurs as we have to use the WHEN command in the control file to direct a certain record type to specific columns of the table. Based on the populated sequence values, with the WHEN command, it seems that all the "H" records get loaded first followed by the "D" records. The sequence becomes of no use and we cannot establish a link between the "H" and "D" records. The alternative is to not use WHEN with the sequence, but load the file into generic column names which provides for less understanding in the application.
Is there a way (command feature) to ensure that SQL*Loader loads the records sequentially while using WHEN?
Thanks

I used RECNUM parameter instead of sequence and it worked fine

SQL Loader ISSUE- when invoking function in a package - in Direct Path- SPK

3) is there any restriction to use the function in sql loader?
4) whether to use the function in sql loader is applicable for direct mode or conventional mode.

TIMESTAMP is a keyword for the loader and confuses it.
rename your column

Any help will be appreciate.

Play with
select substr('[19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 +0100]',2,20) the_date
from dualand if you get 19/Nov/2007:18:39:53 proceed to
select to_date('19/Nov/2007:18:39:53','DD/MON/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')
from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007:18:39:53','DD/Mon/YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')
from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007 18:39:53','DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
from dual
select to_date('19/Nov/2007 18:39:53','DD/Mon/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
from dualperhaps one of those will work (if it's the one without : then you must replace it with space using substr and || before using to_date)

SQL Loader Issues

I'm trying to lad a file into Oracle and I getting errors like:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "DW_SUPPORT"."ISAEO", column CLASS_CDE.
Variable length field exceeds maximum length.
This is for all my columns. Oracle is giving me different column widths than for the ones I've specified. In my control file, I've put:
OPTIONS ( SKIP=1, DIRECT=TRUE)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\CBOE\ICS\isaback_shrt.dat' "fix 89 "

SQL*Loader-307: Warning: conflicting lengths 5 and 7 specified for column CLASS_CDE table "DW_SUPPORT"."ISAEO"
I have no idea why its done this. It looks like it thinks I have spaces between my fields. Since I'm working with fixed width input fields do I somehow need to specify that I there are no spaces between fields? What do I need to do?

If you have some way for SQL Loader to identify that the the record is split or if you can alter how the files are generated to include a set character at the start of a record then you should be able to do this using CONTINUEIF.
If you can insert a character say $$ at the start of the record then include continueif this (1:2) = '%%' in the control file.
Other than that, it will depend on the format of your file. If your first field is always 3 characters wide you could do continueif this preserve (3:3) = ',' If it happens that the CR/LF occurs just before the closing quotes you could try continueif next preserve (1:1) = '"' Anything else and its going to be pretty difficult...

Reg: SQL Loader issue-

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to load data from a flat file into an Oracle table, but facing some issues.
Concern - (1)
I have a directory where there are ~20 similar files named like 'rb_1', 'rb_2', 'rb_3', etc...
All these data should be loaded into a single table say 'X'.
Is it possible that only 1 CTL file will loop and load all the files into X?
Concern - (2)
Field delimiter is Ctrl-X (CAN :Cancel) and Ctrl-M (EM : End of medium) characters
Row delimiter is Ctrl-Z (SUB : substitute) and Ctrl-T (DC4 : Device Control) characters
Is there any way I can specify this into my CTL file?
(I've only worked on field delimiter as comma ',' but not special characters like this)
Please let me know if any further info is required.
Help much appreciated.
Thanks,
-- Ranit

You can give multiple infiles in your control file like
load data infile '/u01/data/rb_1.txt'
              infile '/u01/data/rb_2.txt'
              infile '/u01/data/rb_3.txt'
              infile '/u01/data/rb_4.txt'
append into table <table_name>
(col1,
col 2,
You can also use ascii codes as a deliminator
ASCII Table - table of ASCII codes
External tables are the way to go though.

SQL Loader issue - With junk charters in Last field

Hi
I have a data file to load .
I used a CTL and The Load is running fine.
But the last record comes with some kind of junk character when loaded into the table.
I checked if the file is in moved in binary mode or trying TRIM commands or replacing it int he code.
I tried replacing ^M and chr(10) but of no use.
can you please asssit men in this.. We have a go live soon

Pl post your exact OS and database versions, along with your complete sqlldr command, the table description and a sample of your input csv file.

PL/SQL parser -- OTN Please reply

The contents of the xml file is as follows.
<Node1>
<Node2>
<Node3>asdf</Node3>
<Node4>jklm</Node4>
</Node2>
<Node5>
<Node6>xyza</Node6>
<Node7>abcd</Node7>
</Node5>
</Node1>
The schema design is such that in Node2 table I can directly insert Node3 and Node4 columns using Oracle XML/SQL utility but for Node5 table, in addition to Node6 and Node7 columns I need the Node4 column as well and If I am not wrong, I cannot use the insertxml for this. What are the other solutions? If I have to use the parser to internally modify this file, can you please send me some sample code on how to do this.
Thanks

Use the SQL scripts and xmlplsql.jar from PLSQL XML Parser 1.0.2 with the xmlparserv2.jar that's available in the ./lib directory of the XSQL Servlet 1.0.0.0 download.
The latter is still the 2.0.2.7 XML Parser

When I'm loading data in the table with the above control card, only data with when COL_3 = 'XXXX' is getting loaded. And if I comment the block which has COL_3 = 'XXXX', then the second block is getting loaded (when COL_3 = 'YYY'). But I'm unable to load data for XXXX and YYY in single load. Can someone please help me on this?

Thanks Warren. Found the solution.

COL_5 "trim(:COL_5)",
COL_6 "trim(:COL_6)",

Sql loader issue(How to specify a file that exists on remote server)

In sqlldr infile parameter I'd like to give a data file that exists on remote server.How can I specify???Please help me in the syntax.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: 792353 on Sep 24, 2010 7:22 AM

sqlldr can accept any path that is VALID and it can be any type of share as long as the OS supports the share.
so INFILE can be anything you want as sqlldr will simply attempt to access it via the OS.
if you are on a linux box going to another linux box with an NSF mount point on the box running sqlldr simply reference:
INFILE '/mountpoint/fname'
Now I have never tried a UNC path before but I would guess that if you are on a windows box, going to another winddows box and the box running sqlldr was logged in with the right permissions it would simply be:
INFILE '\\server\directory\file'
I doubt that it will accept a URL as in:
INFILE '//servername.com/directory/file'
I don't think that sqlldr does anonymous ftp or htp file transfer protocol, but I could be wrong.
NOTE: I have found that it is best to ALWAYS surround your INFILE parameter with single quotes.

A tomcat issue please reply

Hi,
Once the tomcat is started using the batch file, I get information flashing in the dos console.Then I go to the browser and type in http://localhost:8080, I donot get the index.jsp page but instead I get the directory listing in the ROOT directory.
I have not made any changes to the default web.xml or the server.xml file.Let me know what could be the problem i.e., why am I not getting the index.jsp page.Help greatly appreciated.
AS

Once the tomcat is started using the batch file, I get
information flashing in the dos console.I don't know what this means. Perhaps if you start the batch file by typing the command into a shell rather than double clicking the icon you can see any messages that come up.
Save that, I'd look in the logs to see what's happening there.
Can't tell based on the little you've posted.

Design Issue,Please reply

Hi,
If i want to define a HashMap,i can do it either as
a) HashMap map = new HashMap() or
b) Map map = new HashMap()
From design perspective which is better one and why ?
Thanks
vasubabu

When declaring references as superclasses or interfaces (such as List or Map or whatever), you can change the implementation without braking existing code. I.e. what was previously an ArrayList can be made a LinkedList and you only need to use 1 place in code. If you're not using a superclass reference, you need to change the code in more places.
It's not always necessary to declare the reference as a superclass one, but when the program might be changed later on and it's not absolutely certain that an ArrayList (for example) will be used, it's better to use List (or Map) as the reference.
Also Joey, your explanation sucked. There is no advantage in using a HashMap reference in place of a Map reference, apart from seeing the exact type in the places it's used.
