SQL*Loader output issue

Hi,
When I load a flat file with SQL*Loader (V 8.1.7 on Windows), I get output something like,
Commit point reached - logical record count 2352
Commit point reached - logical record count 2364
Commit point reached - logical record count 2376
Commit point reached - logical record count 2388
Commit point reached - logical record count 2400
If I want to change this, say I want this message for each 1000 records inserted, how can I do that?
I have tried options line bindsize or rows, but looks like they are for changing internal operation, but not this screen output.
Off course, I am talking about conventional path load.
Any ideas?
Thanks

set rows=1000 and increase the bindsize drastically.
From the docs here
If that size fits within the bind array maximum, the load continues--SQL*Loader does not try to expand the number of rows to reach the maximum bind array size. If the number of rows and the maximum bind array size are both specified, SQL*Loader always uses the smaller value for the bind array.

Only thing I can think of is there is some character set issue between the control file and the operating syste/oracle server.
You did you create the control file using a text based editor such as notepad or wordpad didn't you? You haven't used something like MS Word?

SQL*Loader-500 Issue

Hello
Using Oracle 11g, I am trying to load a table from data in csv files with oracle SQL Loader,
table : purchase
control file : purchase.ctl
Even if I am giving the right path for control file I still get the error :
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (purchase.dat)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specifiedSo why is SQL Loader looking for the file purchase.dat??
Any help is appreciated

Talend is the right solution to load data. Now about your problem, have you configured Talend in order to transfer the data? Because Talend can easily transfer the files.
Maybe you might be able to go to the Talend website to get more information there: http://www.talend.com/

SQL*Loader permission issue?

I have set up a run_all script on LINUX to invoke SQL*Loader for each table to be loaded. I can run this as the Oracle owner just fine. When I try to let the developer run this on dev, they get the following:
SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Apr 25 08:55:18 2006

They can use SQL*Plus on the command line with the userid and password from the SQL*Loader file. I don't want to have to run these for them every time, so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Has the same ORACLE_HOME variable value of the Oracle owner and the developer?

SQL*LOADER connection issue

I have oracle 9i installed, if i'm to connect to the database using the sys account i getv a message saying have to connect as sysdba or sysoper. Ok so i use "username/password@database as sysdba", and that works fine i'm able to connect. But this does not work at the inital login screen, i have to connect as using this other account i created then log in useing the string above. My problem is now im using SQL*LOADER to load data into a table and it won't accept the connection string. If it use that connction string listed above i get the error "ORA-12154:could not resolve service name" and if i remove "as sysdba" from the end of the string i get error "ORA-01017: invalid username/password". I use to be able to just log on with just "sys" username is there any way to change it back or any other way to log on to SQL*LOADER. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

When you are working with SQL*Loader, SQL*Plus and other utilities you can specify what is the database to be connected through local naming (client, server ) or seeting an enviroment variable in the session. If you are getting connection in the server and you have problems resolving local naming, I recommend you to do this:
1.- Set the ORACLE_SID enviroment variable and do not use local naming resolving with tnsnames.ora entries
2.- Configure very well the tnsnames.ora & sqlnet.ora files to get connection.
If you are working directly in the server the first option is easier.
Setting the variable in Windows:
SET ORACLE_SID=<database_sid>
Setting the variable in Unix/Linux:
export ORACLE_SID=<database_sid>
if you need more help to do this step by step I can help you.

Sql loader - to_date() issue

How do I load the date field from the CSV *"03-Dec-09 10.06.58.00 PM"* into oracle tables using sql loader ?
The contol file is as follows:
LOAD DATA
INTO TABLE
CUSTOMER
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(CUST_ID,
ORDER_DATE "to_date(:ORDER_DATE, 'DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS.TT AM')"
but it doesn't work, I also tried _ORDER_DATE "DD/MM/YYYY"_ with no luck, any suggestion ?
I am kind of new in using SQL LOADER.
thanks.

The CSV sample you provided uses " *.* " in the time-component [ 10.06.58.00 ] while your SQL Loader Control file is expecting " *:* " [ HH:MI:SS.TT ]. These two formats are obviously not the same. Update your control file and try again.
CUST_ID, ORDER_DATE
1,03-Dec-10 10.06.58.00 PM
2,03-Dec-09 10.07.18.00 PM

SQL Loader format issue

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the formatting of a date. My csv file, exported from another ora table, has the date in full date format ()
I get the error:
Record 12: Rejected - Error on table LOAN_VER_REQ_ARCH, column ORIGINATION_DATE.
ORA-01843: not a valid monthand two other fields that are date fields get similar errors.
Dates in .csv file appear as such:
For example - 10/26/2001 0:00:00
The question is in my ctl file, how do I format?
I've tried to_char(ORIGINATION_DATE,'MM-DD-YYYY') or
to_date(ORIGINATION_DATE,'MM-DD-YYYY') These dont' work. I don't recall doing any of this stuff in Ora 9i, but perhaps I wasn't loading date fields before in any tables I uploaded data into.
Any tips would be appreciated. I get a message on the command prompt about:
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Commit point reached - logical record count 39
Commit point reached - logical record count 78but that's incorrect because no records are going into the table. I'll worry about that part later though if I can get this date thing resolved.
Thanks!

Thanks!Well, the sample string you've provided doesn't match the formats you've been attempting to use. Yours are separated with a hyphen whereas your sample data is separated by a slash.
Is ALL the data in the same format?
If so, perhaps this (based on your sample string)....
TUBBY_TUBBZ?select to_date('10/26/2001 0:00:00', 'mm/dd/yyyy HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
TO_DATE('10/26/20010

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).

You can find that any chinese characters are became '?'. The loaded line(Line 4th) is not listed in the output.

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

SQL Loader and whitespace issues

Hello users,
I've got an issue that I know is breaking based on a comments field, which allows nearly every type of character in it.
Long story short, I'm trying to upload an Access table, turned to .csv file into Oracle via SQL Loader.
I'm able to do it if I delete or set the COMMENTS column to null before doing so.
If I try the option with the contents of this field populated, it blows up. I've got it terminated by a tilde in the control file, which the COMMENTS field does not contain at all, even with some 5.000+ records.
However, people upon entering comments have put many carriage returns in there. I noticed once I export the data to text or csv, then open in Excel, it shows the column breaking and spilling over into fields it shouldn't, thereby causing the big problem.
I've been searching but haven't found a way I can wrap these whitespaces or have SQL Loader ignore them.
I can't use TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE in the SQL Loader control file because that will cause the field to break without all the comments and I can't use optionally enclosed by " because these people have also used " in the COMMENTS field.
Do I have any option here, other than to brute force make an update query of some kind to manually populate the data? I can do that if I have to but i'd sure rather have all the data dump in via SQL Loader if I can.
Thanks!

Actually, it wasn't related to the size of the column. I made it like 3000, to hold 3000 characters, which was plenty.
But I used
PRESERVE BLANKS and then it worked fine!

How to display output of SQL Loader in a readable format

Hi All,
We have an inbound interface wherein we are uploading data from a flat file to Oracle Applications.
The entire process is happening in a request set -
1. Loading from flat file to staging tables via SQL Loader
2. Validating Data in staging tables
3. Uploading in Oracle standard tables
User says that the log file which shows the output of SQL Loader (step 1) is not readable and they want the data in some particular format which is understandable/readable for them.
Firstly, help me understand is it possible.
Also I have heard about BAD file, can anyone tell me where is it created and by what name and can we fetch that file created ?
Any pointers would be really helpful.
Regards,
Shruti

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
Satish

I used RECNUM parameter instead of sequence and it worked fine
