Sql loader loading date

hi all,
How is it possible to insert date in table through sql loader.
Likewise if i have table A
(Name varchar2(23),Age int,Dateofbirth date)
when i run sqlloader it through me ORA-01858 Error on dateofbirth
if i want to insert
NAME=Neerav,
AGE=23,
DATEOFBIRTH=14-08-1985 in table A
How can we insert date value through SQL LOADER..
Version:Oracle10g
Data file FORMAT:TEST.csv
Thanks in advance,
Neerav

Sorry, but I am not your mother & refuse to spoon feed you.
sqlldr needs to be informed exactly how the STRINGS in the cvs file are formatted to represent DATE.
Your data does not match the default DATE format.
The answer can be found if/when you are willing to Read The Fine Manual in URL previously posted.

How can I load my data faster? Is there a SQL solution instead of PL/SQL?

11.2.0.2
Solaris 10 sparc
I need to backfill invoices from a customer. The raw data has 3.1 million records. I have used pl/sql to load these invoices into our system (dev), however, our issue is the amount of time it's taking to run the load - effectively running at approx 4 hours. (Raw data has been loaded into a staging table)
My research keeps coming back to one concept: sql is faster than pl/sql. Where I'm stuck is the need to programmatically load the data. The invoice table has a sequence on it (primary key = invoice_id)...the invoice_header and invoice_address tables use the invoice_id as a foreign key. So my script takes advantage of knowing the primary key and uses that on the subsequent inserts to the subordinate invoice_header and invoice_address tables, respectively.
My script is below. What I'm asking is if there are other ideas on the quickest way to load this data...what am I not considering? I have to load the data in dev, qa, then production so the sequences and such change between the environments. I've dummied down the code to protect the customer; syntax and correctness of the code posted here (on the forum) is moot...it's only posted to give the framework for what I currently have.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated; how can I load the data faster knowing that I need to know sequence values for inserts into other tables?

Hello
You could use insert all in your case and make use of sequence.NEXTVAL and sequence.CURRVAL like so (excuse any typos - I can't test without table definitions). I've done the first 2 tables, so it's just a matter of adding the rest in...

1. Don't commit in a loop - you only add to the run time and load on the box ultimately reducing scalability and removing transactional integrity. Commit once at the end of the job.
2. Make sure you specify the list of columns you are inserting into as well as the values or columns you are selecting. This is good practice as it protects your code from compilation issues in the event of new columns being added to tables. Also it makes it very clear what you are inserting where.
3. If you use WHEN OTHERS THEN... to log something, make sure you either rollback or raise the exception. What you have done in your code is say - I don't care what the problem is, just commit whatever has been done. This is not good practice.

SQL Interface - Error in Loading the data from SQL data source

Hello,
We have been using SQl data source for loading the dimensions and the data for so many years. Even using Essbase 11.1.1.0, it's been quite a while (more than one year). For the past few days,we are getting the below error when trying to load the data.

Interestingly, after the job fails thru our batch scheduler environment, when I run the same script that's being used in the batch scheduler, the job completes successfully.
Also, this is first time, I saw this kind of error message.
Appreciate any help or any suggestions to find a resolution. Thanks,

Hii Priya,
The reasons may be the file is open, the format/flatfile structure is not correct, the mapping/transfer structure may not be correct, presence of invalid characters/data inconsistency in the file, etc.
Check if the flatfile in .CSV format.
You have to save it in .CSV format for the flatfile loading to work.
Also check the connection issues between source system and BW or sometimes may be due to inactive update rules.
Refer
error 1
Find out the actual reason and let us know.
Hope this helps.

Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel

Hi,
We are trying to load several Excel files into SQL Server SSIS and we need to save the data in the database in the same order as it is in Excel..
My question is, Does SSIS guarantee that it loads the data into SQL Server in the same order as it is in Excel. If so, we will add a sequence to ensure we have the order.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhanumjay

Thanks for your response.
If it is one file then we can add an index column, but we have to load hundreds of files.
How adding an index/key column to the table works unless SSIS picks and loads the data in the table in the same order as it is in Excel?
Just to explain my question better,
If excel has three rows {a,b},{c,d},{e,f}, does SSIS ensure it loads the data in the same order in a table.
Thanks.

SQL loader load data very slow...

Hi,
On my production server have issue of insert. Regular SQL loder load file, it take more time for insert the data in database.
First 2 and 3 hours one file take 8 to 10 seconds after that it take 5 minutes.
As per my understanding OS I/O is very slow, First 3 hours DB buffer is free and insert data in buffer normal.
But when buffer is fill then going for buffer waits and then insert is slow on. If it rite please tell me how to increase I/O.
Some analysis share here of My server...................

SQL*LOADER ERROR WHILE LOADING ARABIAN DATA INTO UNICODE DATABSE

Hi,
I was trying to load arabic data using sql*loader and the datafile is in .CSV format.But i am facing a error Value to large for a column while loading and some data are not loaded due to this error.My target database character set is..
Characterset : AL32UTF8
National Character set: AL16UTF16
DB version:-10g release 2
OS:-Cent OS 5.0/redhat linux 5.0
I have specified the characterset AR8MSWIN1256/AR8ISO8859P6/AL32UTF8/UTF8 separately in the sql*loader control file,but getting the same error for all the cases.
I have also created the table with CHAR semantics and have specified the "LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR" in the sql*loader control file but again same error is coming.
I have also changed the NLS_LANG setting.
I am getting stunned that the data that i am goin to load using sql*loader, it is resided in the same database itself.But when i am generating a csv for those datas and trying to load using sql*loader to the same database and same table structure,i am getting this error value too large for a column.
whats the probs basically???? whether the datafile is problemetic as i am generating the csv programmetically or is there any problem in my approach of loading unicode data.
Please help...

Here's what we know from what you've posted:
1. You may be running on an unsupported operating system ... likely not the issue but who knows.
2. You are using some patch level of 10gR2 of the Oracle database but we don't know which one.
3. You've had some kind of error but we have no idea which error or the error message displayed with it.
4. You are loading data into a table but we do not have any DDL so we do not know the data types.
Perhaps you could provide a bit more information.
Perhaps a lot more. <g>

Sql*loader - load data in table with multiple condition

Hi,
I have oracle 9i on Sun sloaris and i need to load data in one of oracle table using sql*loader with conditional column data.
My table is like:
Load_table
col1 varchar2(10),
col2 varchar2(10),
col3 varchar2(10),
Now i have to load data like:
If col2 = US1 then col3 = 'AA'
If col2 = US2 then col3 = 'BB'
If col2 = US3 then col3 = 'CC'
How can i load this data in table using sql*loader?
Thanks,
Pora

Hi
it is a half-solution.
You have to:
1. open file
2. take a line
3. split the line into values (using substring to)
4. check condition (01 or 02)
5. do a proper insertion
Good Luck,

How to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000?

how to load oracle data into SQL SERVER 2000.
IS THERE ANY UTILITY AVAILABLE?

Not a concern for an Oracle forum.
Als no need for SHOUTING.
Conventional solutions are
- dump the data to a csv file and load it in Mickeysoft SQL server
- use Oracle Heterogeneous services
- use Mickeysoft DTS
Whatever you prefer.

Problem: loading SQL Server 'image' data

Source database: SQL Server 2000
OS: Windows 2003 (SP1)
Oracle: 10g (R2)
Datatype Mapping: SQL Server ‘image’ to oracle ‘BLOB’
With the help of OMWB, I created the oracle database schema for a SQL Server DB (offline capture). I have problems when I tried to populate the (destination) database with two tables with ‘image’ datatype:
Frame.img (as on http://www.sdss.org.uk/mybestdr5/en/help/browser/description.asp?n=Frame&t=U)
And SpecObjAll.img (as on http://www.sdss.org.uk/mybestdr5/en/help/browser/description.asp?n=SpecObjAll&t=U)
The part of .ctl files (generated by OMWB) for the two ‘img’ columns is like this:
IMG CHAR(2000000) "HEXTORAW (:IMG)")
I failed to load the data with the sql_load_script.sh script, and the log file is like this:
IMG NEXT ***** CHARACTER
Maximum field length is 2000000
Terminator string : '<ec>'
SQL string for column : "HEXTORAW (:IMG)"
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of IMG field specification
I tried to removed ‘CHAR(2000000)’ in the .ctl files:
IMG "HEXTORAW (:IMG)")
But this doesn’t work and the log file is like this:
IMG NEXT * CHARACTER
Terminator string : '<ec>'
SQL string for column : "HEXTORAW (:IMG)"
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of IMG field specification
Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Datatype Mapping: SQL Server ‘varbinary(1000)’ to oracle ‘BLOB’
With the help of OMWB, I created the oracle database schema for a SQL Server DB (offline capture). I have problems when I tried to populate the (destination) database with a table with ‘varbinary(1000)’ datatype:
PlateX.expID (as on http://www.sdss.org.uk/mybestdr5/en/help/browser/description.asp?n=PlateX&t=U) and the with original data is like this: http://dsg.port.ac.uk/~hx/research/sdss/logs/SelectExpidFromPlatex

I failed to load the data with the sql_load_script.sh script, and the log file is like this:

51 Rows not loaded due to data errors.
0 Rows not loaded because all WHEN clauses were failed.
0 Rows not loaded because all fields were null.

P.S. previously, I mapped: SQL Server ‘varbinary(1000)’ to ‘RAW(1000)’ in Oracle but failed to populate the data (http://dsg.port.ac.uk/~hx/research/sdss/logs/PLATEX.log).

Hi Emile,
regading extracting data from MSSQL with OWB on Unix platform (using Generic Connectivity):
Re: SQLServer access from AIX Warehouse builder
Re: OWB on Solaris Connectivity with SQL SERVER on Windows
We want to load aprox. 100 million records a day.
I've read some articles about this and the advise was to dump the data from SQL Server to files and load the files with OWB.100 million records per day is not a problem for daily extracting from MSSQL Server if you have 1-2 hour.
In my opinion dumping to text file is a bad practice and is unnecessary if customer don't have special requirements (for example for security reason).
SQL Server source table and a Oracle target table without any difficult transformationsIn my opninion the best way process data from MSSQL is to extract data to staging area (schema) on Oracle DB with mappings as simple as possible (ONLY filters, without any join), and most of data processing prefom in Staging area or during moving from staging to DWH.
Also look at OWB user guide (how to use Generic Connectivity in OWB)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10582/loading_ms_data.htm#i1064950

Oleg
