SQL Loader Multibyte character error

Hello,
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
Database Characterset: WE8MSWIN1252
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?
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

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

posting from Germany, special charactes like german umlaute and euro sign in UTF8 Textfile, SqlLoader rejecting row with Multibyte character error
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
Database Characterset: WE8MSWIN1252
OS: SLES 11 x86_64
Testcase SqlDeveloper:
CREATE TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252 (
ID NUMBER,
text VARCHAR2(40 CHAR)
can't enter euro symbol in this posting, end's in '€' (?)
SELECT ascii(euro symbol) FROM dual;
128
SELECT chr(128) from dual;
INSERT INTO utf8file_to_we8mswin1252 (ID, text) VALUES (1, '0987654321098765432109876543210987654321');
INSERT INTO utf8file_to_we8mswin1252 (ID, text) VALUES (2, 'äüöäüöäüöäÄÖÜÄÖÜÄÖÜÄßßßßßßßßßß€€€€€€€€€€');
INSERT INTO utf8file_to_we8mswin1252 (ID, text) VALUES (3, 'äüöäüöäüöäÄÖÜÄÖÜÄÖÜÄäüöäüöäüöäÄÖÜÄÖÜÄÖÜÄ');

commit;
Select shows correct result, no character is wrong or missing!!!!
put this in a UTF8 file without delimiter and enclosure like
10987654321098765432109876543210987654321
the SqlLoader controlfile:
LOAD DATA characterset UTF8
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
ID CHAR(1)
, TEXT CHAR(40)
on a linux client machine, NOT the Oracle-Server
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
sqlldr user/pwd@connectstring CONTROL=TEST01.ctl DATA=TEST01.dat LOG=TEST01.log
Record 6: Rejected - Error on table UTF8FILE_TO_WE8MSWIN1252, column TEXT.
Multibyte character error.
Record 7: Rejected - Error on table UTF8FILE_TO_WE8MSWIN1252, column TEXT.
Multibyte character error.
Select shows missing characters in row 4 and 5, SqlLoader loads only the first 20 characters (maybe at random)
and as shown above, row 6 and 7 never loaded
Problem:
can't load UTF8 Flatfiles with SqlLoader when german umlaute and special characters like euro symbol included.
Any hint or help would be appreciated
Regards
Michael

## put this in a UTF8 file without delimiter and enclosure like
The basic question is how you put the characters into the file. Most probably, you produced a WE8MSWIN1252 file and not an UTF8 file. To confirm, a look at the binary codes in the file would be necessary. Use a hex-mode-capable editor. If the file is WE8MSWIN1252, and not UTF8, then the SQL*Loader control file should be:
LOAD DATA characterset WE8MSWIN1252
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
ID CHAR(1)
, TEXT CHAR(40)

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!

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.

First, technical questions need to be addressed to an appropriate technical forum. The Products | Database | Globalization and NLS forum would probably be appropriate for this sort of question.
Second, are you seeing a particular Oracle error (ORA-xxxxx)? Are you using a front end? If so, which front end?

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.

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?

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.
