SQL Loader - need help - any thought!

I have a datafile with info like this,
tag1,f01,f02
tag2,.....
tag3,......
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag1,f01,f02
tag2,.....
tag3,......
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag4,info1,info2,....
tag5
My requirement is like this,
I have to load into a table with folloing info
f02,info1,info2
tokenize the tag1 record, get the f02 value use that along with tag4 fields to populate the table. This f02 field will get new value after reading the second tag2 occurance.
Any thought on this is greatly appreciated!

If you look at the Flash help documentation for the addListener metod of the MovieClipLoader class, there is an erxample there that you should hopefully be able to work from. It will be better if you get your stuff coded into AS2 before you pursue more help with it. IT is difficult to tell you how to fix something if you don't show what you are using.

SQL Loader need to insert the input filename into output table

Hi All,
I've a small problem with my SQL Loader query. My sql loader should read a file and write the data into a file. Also this sql loader should read the filename and write it into the same table. Here's my control file code:
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE XXMW_STG_SOH_HEADER_UK
WHEN (1:4) = '7010'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(WH POSITION(5:6)
,ITEM POSITION(9:26)
,PRODUCT_STATUS POSITION(33:34)
,BALANCE_ON_HAND POSITION(35:43)
,TO_SHIP_QTY POSITION(71:79)
,RUSH_TO_SHIP_QTY POSITION(80:88)
,RESERVED_QTY POSITION(175:183)
,SNAPSHOT_DATE POSITION(134:143) CHAR "TO_DATE(:SNAPSHOT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD')"
,SNAPSHOT_TIME POSITION(144:151) CHAR "TO_DATE(:SNAPSHOT_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS')"
,PROCESSED_IND CONSTANT "N"
,PROCESSED_DATETIME SYSDATE
,_FILENAME POSITION(184) CHAR TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE_
My program should read the filename dynamically (means a shell script is calling this .ctl file which is reading multiple input files) and insert into the filename field in xxmw_stg_soh_header_uk table.
Please let me know for any questions/clarifications.
Regards,
Debabrata

While I think Blu's suggestion to use external tables is better, if you need to use SQL Loader, you could do something like this.
Create a "generic" control file with a placeholder for the filename, something like:
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE XXMW_STG_SOH_HEADER_UK
WHEN (1:4) = '7010'
TRAILING NULLCOLS (
   WH POSITION(5:6),
   ITEM POSITION(9:26),
   PRODUCT_STATUS POSITION(33:34),
   BALANCE_ON_HAND POSITION(35:43),
   TO_SHIP_QTY POSITION(71:79),
   RUSH_TO_SHIP_QTY POSITION(80:88),
   RESERVED_QTY POSITION(175:183),
   SNAPSHOT_DATE POSITION(134:143) CHAR "TO_DATE(:SNAPSHOT_DATE,'YYYY-MM-DD')",
   SNAPSHOT_TIME POSITION(144:151) CHAR "TO_DATE(:SNAPSHOT_TIME,'HH24:MI:SS')",
   PROCESSED_IND CONSTANT "N",
   PROCESSED_DATETIME SYSDATE,
   FILENAME CONSTANT ":FILE"I am assuming that your shell script is looping through a set of file names and loading each one. So make your shell script look something like:
FILES=`ls *.txt`
CTL=generic.CTL
for f in $FILES
do
   cat $CTL| sed "s/:FILE/$f/g" > $f.ctl
   sqlldr usr/passwd control=$f.ctl data=$f
doneThe line cat $CTL| sed "s/:FILE/$f/g" > $f.ctl will create a "custom" control file for each file and add the filename as a constant at the end.

Sql-loader error, help!!!!

Recently I found the following error message in the sql-loader log file.
ora-704 , I can't find corresponding explainatino in oracle documentation. I use sql-loader 7.3 to load .dat file extracted from our ERP system. This error can't be monitored by pl/sql and quite dangerous . Please kindly help me to solve this problem.Many thanks!!

The ora-704 error message is pretty serious. It's a boot-strap kind of message that you usually get on db startup when something is seriously wrong. What version of db are you running? If it's pre-8.0 then you might check to see if the sys.bootstrap$ table was set to unlimited extents (one of those weird issue things). Although I wouldn't suggest modifying the sys schema's objects to set the extents to something other than unlimited, this might open some doors into something else.
If you're truly getting this:
ORA-00704: "bootstrap process failure"
Cause: Failure in processing bootstrap data - see accompanying
error.
Action: Contact your customer support representative.
Then you really need to contact a CSR for technical help that is supported by Oracle itself.
Good luck

Loader (Need help to convert from AS3 to AS2)

Since I know this code works fine and that I use it into one of my AS3 flash, I need it in one of my AS2 flash and I don't know how to adapt it. I've searched in over 100 threads and I can't find something similar... Thanks to help me get it to work in AS2! Since I need it in AS2, I thought it would be the right place to post it.
I posted all the loading process code, but I would need help mostly with the Loader part. How to do it in AS2? Thanks!
var img = 0;
var image_total = 0;
var myImages_array:Array = new Array();
var myBitmaps_array:Array = new Array();
function Init();
// Images urls are loaded into an array before this call
LoadImage();
function LoadImage()
    if (img < myImages_array.length) // img is the current image index and myImages_array is my array of URLs
// I need help with this part please
      var loader:Loader = new Loader();
// returns the image full path and load it
        loader.load(new URLRequest(my_site_url + myImages_array[img]));
        loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
    else
        if (count == 0)
// When everything's loaded, I'll start loading my Bitmaps into a small slideshow
            count += 1;
            init_slideshow();
function imageLoaded(e:Event):void
    var image:Bitmap = e.target.content;
// Bitmap manipulation here (removed)
    image_total = myBitmaps_array.push(image);
    if (img < myImages_array.length)
        img += 1;
// Call next image
        LoadImage();
function init_slideshow():void
// Reserts the current index for the first one
    img = 0;
// Start the slideshow since everything's loaded

SQL Gurus : Need Help in building SQL query

SQL Gurus,
Need your expertise to solve my below problem:
- I have a column that had comma separated data, basically there are the levels in a hierarchy. eg The same column could have the following data:
Row 1: R1L1, R1L2, R1L3
Row 2: R2L1, R2L2
Row 3: R3L1, R3L2, R3L3, R3L4
For assumption purpose lets assume that there are maximum 5 Levels
I want to put this data from this column into another table which holds the levels. I am expecting the output in another table as follows:
Col1____Col2 ____Col3____Col4____Col5
Row 1: R1L1___R1L2____R1L3____null_____null
Row 2: R2L1___R2L2____null_____null_____null
Row 3: R3L1___R3L2____R3L3____R3L4___null
How do i achieve this ? ie coverting the comma separated values in a column to separate columns. The # of values in each columns could be different as I have showb above

Oracle SQL Newbie need help with OE Demo Schema Installation

Hello everybody !
I'm hoping some kind soul can help out this SQL newbie.
First of all i've installed 10g R2 database on a PC running XP SP2.
Oracle is installed on the root C: drive
I'm using the SQL Fundamentals I Exam Guide and DBA Handbook (Both Oracle Press)
as my reference.
My problem is this.
I installed the DB and created the demo HR schema without too much problem
but it's the demo OE schema i'm having problems getting running and cannot
find anywhere on the net that outlines a step by step SQL process.
I am using SQL Plus to execute these commands.
My questions are these:
-For the default tablespace i specify "users" ?
-What do i specify for the temporary tablespace ? "temp" ?
-what directory path do i put for the data files as parameter 6 ?
I put down "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\demo\schema\order_entry" but i suspect it's
the wrong thing ?
-What do i specify for the writable directory path for the log files ?
Is it C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\RDBMS\log
-And what is "Specify version as parameter 8:" line ?
I assumed it was the db version but i believe it's wrong.
Could somebody please help me ? I've already done my CCNA and i wanted to add oracle under my belt.
I know if i had these few things cleared up for me it would pave the way to actually enjoying learning Oracle :)
Thank you for any assistance :)

I installed the DB products from the companion disk and there was no specific mention of the demo schemas. Regardless... They're all there within the demo subfolder and have already created the hr schema.. I just need somebody (I'll pay if necessary) to PLEASE just answer (what would be easy to you guys my questions so i can move on.
this is a cap from my sql plus..

New to pl/sql and need help with procedure

Hello there, I got two tables STAFF and BONUS which are not related by any constraints
STAFF
ID_NUMBER HIREDATE SALARY BONUS
100020 12-MAY-03 13600
100021 04-NOV-01 30000
100022 08-APR-02 28000
100023 08-APR-02 24000
BONUS
PERCENTAGE MORE_THAN_YEARS
0.1 3
0.15 5
0.3 7
0.45 9
0.5 12
I am trying to create a procedure that would calculate bonus based on years of employment according to bonus table.
If employees sysdate -hiredate is greater than 5, he would get salary*0.15%....
I created this procedure, but I got stuck here.
I calculated the length of employment for every soldier using cursor in a loop, but I don't know how to get values from bonus table and connect them together.
Please help me!
create or replace
procedure bonus_staff
as
cursor c1 is select *from staff;
bon real;
begin
FOR ITEM IN C1
LOOP
bon := FLOOR(months_BETWEEN(SYSDATE,ITEM.hiredate)/12)*
update staff
set bonus = bon
where id_number = ITEM.id_number;
exit when c1%notfound;
end loop;
end;
Thanks in advance..

update staff
set bonus = (select percentage
from bonus
where more_than_years = (select max(more_than_years)
from bonus
where more_than_years <= FLOOR(months_BETWEEN(SYSDATE,staff.hiredate)/12)
You can do this in pure SQL, which operates on a set, so no PL/SQL is required.

SQL Loader needs to load default value instead of null

I am loading data from the flat file into the table. The table primary key consists of 5 fields. One of these fields might be empty in the text file, so on the load I need to substitute it with some default value like "***", for instance. Is there any way to make some conditions in the control file?

You can either make use of the suggession given by Warren Tollentino or alter table by adding default constraint for the column.

Wifi / WPA Security Issue- Need Help- Any solutions??

I've searched everywhere for a solution to this problem- it seems widespread, many people have had the same, but has anyone solved it? Desperately looking for a solution!!
Problem: I'm on OSX 10.4.11. Connecting to my wifi router via Airport from my Mac Pro. When any type of security is enabled at the router (WPA, WPA2, WEP, etc.), my internet connection gets dropped after a few minutes. This happens for other Apple devices on the network, like my iBook (also on OSX 10.4.11). Even my iPhone. Only short term solution is turning Airport off and on again. But the problem recurs after a few minutes.
With security turned off at the router, all is well. (But then I'm on an unsecured network.)
At first I thought it was the router, but the problem persisted with a new router.
Any help appreciated... this is very annoying yet I haven't found any solution anywhere...

Neither. The first was a D-Link and the current is a Tenda.

if someone could help out it would be much appreciated.

Hey,
http://www.saporerestuarant.com.au/ is on the new Australia datacenter, so you need to point the A record to 54.252.148.134. This forum document lists all the IP addresses, depending if your site is hosted on the new or old datacenters: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1741
Please let us know if you have any questions on this.
Thanks,

Linking Text to a Loader-NEED HELP!!!!!

I have some text, let's say it's called "Photograph 1". How
do I use that text to load a .jpg image into a Loader when clicked?
Should I convert the text into a symbol (button)? I can do that
with no problem. I just dont know how to use that text link or the
button to load the image into the loader. Anybody got any code for
doing this? Is there a behavior that I can use to do this? Any help
will be appreciated!

Check the font size in the options bar. If it's really small you won't see it.
Look in your layer's palette and insure your text is in a layer located above the photo in the stack.
You might also check your image's resolution in the Image Size dialog. I've seen a couple of posts where someone changes the resolution to 1 with resample turned off...then can't see the text because it's too small even when they have large numbers inserted in the font size box.

PL/SQL error, need help!

Hello,
I have a piece of Java code that errors out with an "ORA-01850: hour must be between 0 and 23" error. The get_alerts stored procedure returns no results (blank). Once it calls getObject(1), the error is thrown. There doesn't seem to be any issues with the PL/SQL code and I can't identify a data issue, either.
callableStatement = connection.prepareCall("begin ? := utl_mas.get_alerts(?); end;");
callableStatement.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
callableStatement.setInt(2, memUID);
callableStatement.execute();
resultSet = (ResultSet) callableStatement.getObject(1); <----- ERROR
This error makes no sense to me. I am stumped! Any help is appreciated.

Native SQL query - Need help

Hi All,
We have a native SQL query accessing Oracle database(given below).
Can anyone please let me know what this query is about and how can we fine tune the query?
SELECT O.OBJECT_NAME ,
               H.SID,
               HS.MACHINE,

Hi Neethu,
It gives you an overwiew of blocking Oracle sessions.
1. In general, the SQL checks Oracle sessions (SID's) that were requirering a DML lock ('TM') and now holding row locks (TX) to prevent destructive interference of simultaneous conflicting DML or DDL operations. DML statements automatically acquire both table-level locks and row-level locks ('TX') => holders
It joins these with the sessions that are waiting of releasing the lock by the holders => waiters.
2. it retrieves the detail information wich Oracle process , the object (table) , it's row , block and file
are affected by the locks.
3. Normally, the locks are only hold for a short period of time. If you have blocking sessions it may be of a log running task (i.e. mass data update of a table) ; but it could also be a application bug due to improper handling of concurrent updates of the same object.
4. Tuning
V$tables are expensive to query: Why?
v$ tables are generally Oracle memory structures.
v$ tables are not read consistent.
v$ tables require latches to access -- cannot modify and read memory at the same
time.
heavy access to v$ tables like this may cause some serious heavy duty contention.
Especially if you self join V$lock several times.
So the best would be to save the contents of V$LOCK in some table:
Create table mylocks as select * from v$lock;
Use that table for self-joining and joins to the other tables.
You can also CTAS the other v$ tables to bypass the performance bottleneck while retrieving
v$ directly.
You can empty or drop the created tables any time for new data.
Because you want to investigate only lock hold for a longert time to copy the v$ memory structures into
physical tables is not a disadvantage. You certainly will wait longer on finishing your query
instead of copy them into the tables.
Hope this helped
yk
