SQL Loader Multibyte character error, LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER

Hi,
startet SQL Loader Multibyte character error
{thread:id=2340726}
some mod locked the thread, why?
the solution for others:
add LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER to the controlfile
LOAD DATA characterset UTF8 LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
ID CHAR(1)
, TEXT CHAR(40)
)Regards
Michael

Hi Werner,
on my linux desktop:
$ file test.dat
test.dat: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
my colleague is working on a windows system.
On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.
Regards
Michael

SQL Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be = [10000000]

Hi,
running SQL*Loader (Release 8.1.7.2.1) causes an error "SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be <= [10000000]". This error occurs when SQLLoader is trying to load several thousand records into a database table. Each record is less than 250 bytes in length.
Any idea what could cause the problem?
Thanks in advance!
Ingo

As a second guess, the terminator changes or goes missing at some point in the data file. If you are running on *NIX, try wc -l data_file_name. This will give a count of the number of lines (delimited by CHR(10) ) that are in the file. If this is not close to the number you expected, then that is your problem.
You could also try gradually working through the data file loading 100 records, then 200, then 300 etc. to see where it starts to fail.

SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIInitialize [1804]

I tried using MassLoader to load some data into the local database on the Oracle 9i server. MassLoader first generated the data files and then called sqlldr to load the data into the db. It failed and I received SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIInitialize [1804]. I tried with Oracle 8i sqlldr and it worked fine. So, the problem seems to be with Oracle 9i sqlldr. Is there any fix for this or how can I investigate it? Thanks in advance.

The problem lies in permissions in $ORACLE_HOME. I had the problem and came up with two solutions. The first was to chmod 6751 sqlldr. The second I liked better was to go thru the subdirectores and insure that all of the files were marked as accessable by others. After talking with fellow dba's we changed the permissions to 755 on all directories but bin. Again this might not be the correct fix but it works
try again after changing
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
to
ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_RDBMS/ocommon/nls/admin/data
try above solution and let us know.

SQL*LOADER 시 발생하는 ORA-1653 ERROR

제품 : SQL*PLUS
작성날짜 : 2002-04-25
SQL*LOADER 실행 시 발생하는 ORA-1653
====================================
PURPOSE
다음은 SQL*LOADER 실행시 ORA-1653 ERROR가 발생시에 조치하는
방법을 설명한다.
Explanation
ORA-1653 error 는 특정 tablespace 에 space 가 부족해서 table의
extent가 일어나지 못해서 발생하는 error 이다 .
먼저 error message 에서 tablespace name 이 무엇인지 먼저
check 한다.
그리고 다음 command 를 이용해 해당 tablespace 를 늘려주면 된다.
ALTER TABLESPACE tablespace_name ADD DATAFILE '.....' size 100m;
그러나 이때의 tablespace 가 SYSTEM 일 경우는 user 의 default
tablespace 가 잡혀있지 않기 때문이어서 근본적인 해결이 필요하다.
이 경우는 무작정 tablespsace 를 늘리지 말고 user 의 default
tablespace 를 create 후 user 에게 할당해주도록 한다.
CREATE TABLESPACE tablespace_name datafile '...' size 100m;
ALTER USER user_name IDENTIFIED BY passwd
DEFAULT TABLESPACE tablespace_name
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp ;
위와 같이 user의 default tablespace 를 변환한 후, 이 default
tablespace 안에 create table을 다시 한 후 sql*loader 를 실행한다.
Reference Documents
--------------------

Hi,
You must have more than one tnsnames file or multiple installations of oracle. What i suggest you do (as I'm sure will be mentioned in ed's link that you were already pointed at) is the following (* i assume you are on windows?)
open a command prompt
set TNS_ADMIN=PATH_TO_DIRECTOT_THAT_CONTAINS_CORRECT_TNSNAMES_FILE (i.e. something like set TNS_ADMIN=c:\oracle\network\admin)
This will tell oracle use the config files you find here and no others
then try sqlldr user/pass@db (in the same dos window)
see if that connects and let us know.
Cheers,
Harry

This means that the tnsname being used is not being recognized by Oracle. Check your tnsnames.ora file and see if you're using the correct connection string for the database you are trying to connect to. Furthermore, do you have more than one oracle installation on your PC? If that is the case then you should copy the correct entry and replicate it to other tnsnames.ora files. Only for the sake of knowledge, I would like to know if you are using the connection string from the sqlplus session of your PC, but you're executing SQL Loader from another machine?

I have an Oracle_Home env variable set to the oracle directory.
Please help

I know its an older thread and the thread was about Oracle 10.2.x I worked on client 11.2.0.1 but I thought I can share what I did to add sqlldr to instant Oracle client.
I used Oracle instant client 11.2.0.1 with sqlplus. I also downloaded and installed the full Oracle client 11.2.0.1 to have access to the sqlldr files. I chose Custom install and only installed the utilities.
- Within the oracle instant client directory make sure that you put all sqlldr related files into a bin directory.
- Make sure you have all libraries that are needed by sqlldr copied from the full client into the bin directory. Also copy the sqlldr.exe into the bin folder.
- Copy directory nls from the full client to the instant client (especially the information in subdirectory "data" seems to be needed)
- Copy directory rdbms from the full client to the instant client. This contains the error messages. I only copied mesg/oraus.msb and mesg/ulus.msb. However, if you dont get all files you risk that you will not have meaningful error messages.
- Copy directory oracore from the full client to the instant client (especially the information in subdirectory "timezone" seem to be needed).
To find out which files sqlldr is trying to access you can use strace, truss on Unix systems or ProcessMonitor on Windows.
To run the sqlldr I needed to set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to the instant client directory. I also created a tnsnames.ora file and set TNS_ADMIN to the directory the tnsnames.ora is located.

Error: SQL*Loader-926: OCI error while OCIStmtExecute(trigger_hp) for table

HEllo, i've a problem when i try to load a file, the message is:
SQL*Loader-926: OCI error while OCIStmtExecute(trigger_hp) for table <table>
ORA-00904: invalid column name
what is the solution for this?
thanks

The root cause is in the error ora-1426, which you can look up in the online error documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com . No one knows every error message by heart. This means it is expected you look up the error prior to posting, and you don't expect any volunteer in this forum to look up the error on your behalf.
Also this is a typical candidate for being a known problem, and known problems can be found on My Oracle Support.

SQL*Loader-704: Internal error

Dear all,
I have run this command in windows
sqlplus a/b@c
it is connected successfully, I can run sql and results returned.
however, I run this sql loader command
sqlldr a/b@c control=test.ctl data=test.txt
but error is returned
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
what are the reasons and why?
thank you very much!

Hi,
I had the same problem. I already fixed it!
I use two ORACLE_HOME, one for Oracle Client and one for Oracle Developer Suite 10g. The sqlplus.exe is in both BIN directories, but sqlldr is only in client's ORACLE_HOME\BIN directory.
When you run sqlplus.exe, it uses tnsnames.ora from devsuite's ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN, I think, it contains rows for SID=c.
When you run sqlldr.exe, it uses tnsnames.ora from client's ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN, I think, it does not contain rows for SID=c (my tnsnames.ora did not contain them).
Make both tnsnames.ora the same and your problem will be fixed.

To load an utf8 File (UTF-8 Unicode text) i use option characterset UTF8 in controlfile.
All went fine until in textfile the column is filled up with 40 chars and
german umlaute included (ÜÖÄüöä...)
Loader stops (errors=0) and gives:
Record 146466: Rejected - Error on table 'TableName', column 'ColumnName'.
Multibyte character error
* use CHAR(40) and POSITION(start-end) for field description - no help
* modify column, from VC2(40 char) to VC2(50 char) - no help
* without characterset UTF8 option i got wrong characters for german umlaute - no help
* manual insert the data from this row with NO problems !
any hint or workaround?

On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.

The output of sql loader displays '?' for the chinese character

I'm run the sql loader to import the data. The following is the ctl script:
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET ZHS16CGB231280
APPEND
INTO TABLE xxabc_gti_feedback
when (5:6) ='~~' and (8:9)='~~'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "~~"

I create a sql*loader concurrent program to load the data. the data can be loaded into the table successfully(The chinese customer name is correct). Only for the aborted lines, it will be listed in the outtput of the concurrent request, but out of my expect, the chinese characters in the output are displayed as '?'.
How to solve the issue? Thanks.

You can find that any chinese characters are became '?'. The loaded line(Line 4th) is not listed in the output.
Thanks for your quick answer! :)
