SQL Loader (sqlldr)

Hi,
I'm really baffled. The program sqlldr seems to work just fine according to the console output, but EM doesn't display any of the information that it supposedly loaded. The table content is empty.
Here is the console output:
linux-hd9r:/home/peergynt_lwb/PROJECTS # sqlldr username@server/password control=loader.ctl

Here is file loader.ctl;

LEFT_ID,
TNAME,
TRANK,
     TCREATE,
     TOPTION,
     TVISIBLE,
     TRES1,
     TRES2
This is really strange. What could be wrong? Please tell me!
Thank you!

Commit point reached - logical record count 30I know it says the above, but did you check the logs to see that it was loaded successfully? That message will come whether it completed successfully or completed with errors.
So check the file loader.log or loader.bad or loader.dsc for errors.
Also ensure you are loading to the correct database and checking the correct database

SQL*Loader sqlldr removes zeros from character field

Hello,
I am using SQL*Loader to load an Oracle table, and am having a problem. One of the fields is defined as VARCHAR2 and contains comments entered by a user. There may be numbers or dollar amounts included in this text. When I execute the sqlldr script below, the result is that all of the zeros on the text field disappear. There is a translate function invoked for this field (bolded statement) in an attempt to remove imbedded newlines from the text. Wherever there was a zero in the original text, it ends up being removed after I run this script. Can anyone suggest why this is occurring, and how to prevent it? Can it be related to the translate function?
Thanks for your help!

--------------------------------------------

Never mind, found my mistake. In the TRANSLATE function, I had assumed that the 0x0A would be interpreted as a single hex value. Instead, it is interpreted literally as the character '0', the character 'x', the character 'A', etc. The result is that the transformed text had no '0', 'x', or 'A' characters, which is exactly what I inadvertently told it to do. I changed it to the following, which works better ;-)
RST_EXTENDED_TXT "SUBSTR(TRANSLATE(:RST_EXTENDED_TXT, '#'||CHR(10), '#'), 1, 250)"

Oracle 9i - did not install with SQL Loader

Installed Oracle 9i (standard, personal would not install) on XP home edition but SQL Loader did not come this this and I would like to import to 9i. How can I accomplish this? I can not locate any tools included in the installation.
Thank you!!!

I think the SQL Loader do not come with Oracle personal edition, at least it didn't on my 8.0.x personal edition before.
But I think there are few options:
1. You may install Enterprise edition administrator client on the same machine. It comes with some admin tools like sql loader (sqlldr or sometime it may be some different name with different version). Be very careful on versions, if it may conflick with your existing version, you may consider to install to a new Oracle home and make sql net connection to connect your personal edition's home and then sql load.
2. The faster way and the prefered way is to install ODBC driver, use some other Windows application like FoxPro to read a file and insert into Oracle via ODBC.
3. Use Oracle Forms to connect your database and use Text I/O commands to read file and then insert into database.
Hope this help.

SQL Loader and Oracle 11g

Hello,
Im receiving an sqlldr: not found error. Im getting ready to talk with our System Admin about the situation. Before I do I wanted to make sure that SQL Loader (sqlldr) is an available add-on for the Oracle 11 client. A co-worker mentioned that SQLLDR may not be available as an add-on in the Oracle 11 client and that we would need to use IMPORT/EXPORT instead. Is this a true statement?
Can someone please clarify these issues for me?
Thanks a bunch!

SQL*Loader is certainly available in either the 11.1 or 11.2 full client install. It may or may not be a component that is installed by default depending on the type of install you select during the installation process. But you can always go back and install that component.
If you are talking about the Instant Client, I'm not sure that either SQL*Loader or import and export work with the Instant Client.
And just to point it out, if you're using 11g, you would generally want to be using external tables rather than SQL*Loader.

SQL*Loader no terminate on Win2000

The process has run without incident on a WinNT server. Now we have converting to a Win2000 server and experiencing an issue. It appears that SQL*Loader (SQLLDR.EXE) is not terminating at the completion of the load.
We watch the batch file run on the server in a Command window. The load runs fine (all records are loaded and the log-file war created), but the SQL*Loader program does not terminate.
The server is running with Oracle database 8.1.5.
Thank you for anwered.

Sql loader how import a file with save the actual row number in a db field

Hey,
how can i save the row number for each row in a file into a database field i the same table with the sql loader (sqlldr)?
test data:

table:
name surname line_number_in_file
john doe 1
joe meier 2
and so on ... an if an line is discarded because it is empty for example it should be as this:

but if one of the when clause faild or some rows are
rejectet the sequence is not right.Did you read the link?
"If a record is rejected (that is, it has a format error or causes an Oracle error), the generated sequence numbers are not reshuffled to mask this. If four rows are assigned sequence numbers 10, 12, 14, and 16 in a particular column, and the row with 12 is rejected, the three rows inserted are numbered 10, 14, and 16, not 10, 12, and 14. This allows the sequence of inserts to be preserved despite data errors. When you correct the rejected data and reinsert it, you can manually set the columns to agree with the sequence."
also if you read multiple lines and they inserted in
the wrong order the number from the sequence is not
the line number...what do you mean with "reading multiple lines and wrong order?"

Where is SQL*Loader?

Hello,
I deselected several packages during installation of Oracle 9i client. After that, I couldn't find
the SQL*Loader (sqlldr.exe) anywhere in the directory tree. Which package should I pick to have
the SQL*Loader installed?
Regards,
Fangtu

I beleive sql*loader is part of the server tech stack, not the client tech stack.
You should check the server cd for it.

Executing sqlldr (sql loader) from java and returning the error code

I'm wandering do sqlldr return any error code whenever it hit error while running in java.
For example, if i run in command prompt using the command below,
C:\ >sqlldr uid/pwd data=abc.dat control=abc.txt
It might give me some indicator that error occurs such as
SQL*Loader-601: For INSERT option, table must be empty. Error on table CURRENCY
or
SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (abc.txt)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
But when i run in java using the code below,
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec("sqlldr uid/pwd data=abc.dat control=abc.txt");
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
it will only give me the same exitValue of 1(i presume its error) / 0 (i presume no error) instead of the details of the error.
How can i get the exact error code/message if i were to execute it using java?
Any solution?

mg,
I don't think user576271 wants the exit code, I think [s]he wants the error message.
But wouldn't error messages from SQL*Loader be sent to the stderr stream, and not the stdout stream?
In which case user576271 would need method "getErrorStream()" of class java.lang.Process, no?
Good Luck,
Avi.

Execute sqlldr command (Sql Loader) in PL/SQL

Hi guys... how can I execute this prompt command via PL/SQL command?
"sqlldr *****/******@ericsson control=nrcs_atelecom.CTL rows=100000 direct=true"
I have a lot of CTL files to process loading data. So, I create a PL/SQL that run a loop reading all CTLs, but I don´t know how run, via PL, the Sql Loader.

I can't post a link but search the documentation, you'll find it in the "Utilities" manual.
Basically...you create tables that point to your files. Then you can SELECT from them like any other table.

Running sqlldr (sql*loader) as an concurrent program executeable in 11.5.10

Running 11.5.10.2 on Linux
I have a .ctl file written for my linux environment but I am having trouble with the following.
Properly configuring the concurrent program executable. Is there documentation on this setup? I have looked through OTN, MetaLink and the database utils guide, but no luck.
How do you pass the variable of the control file to sqlldr using the executable/concurrent program approach?
How do you pass the variable of the username/password and database to sqlldr using the executable/concurrent program approach?
my sqlldr script is listed below. All other activity takes place in the .ctl file and this is working good.

SQL*Loader-524 using sqlldr

I am getting the following error while running sqlldr80 on 8.0.6.3.1 version.
SQL*Loader-524: partial record found at end of datafile
I followed metalink note 1058890.6 that tells about the bug 735710.
The problem gets resolved when I give a line feed end of datafile.
My problem is the whole system has to be automated where I cannot manually provide a new line in datafile that is automatically placed in a directory from where sqlldr reads it.
Please advice.

You can simply process the file by sed on Unix (on Windows you can implement cygwin to add Unix functionality) or by Perl (works on both Windows and Unix) to add that extra linefeed automatically.
Which obviously is a workaround. You would better upgrade from Oracle 8.0.6, which was desupported many, many years ago.

How to do it with SQL Loader

All,
I have two tables HEADER_TABLE and LINE_TABLE. Each header record can have multiple line records. I have to load data from a flat file to these tables.Flat file can have two types of records. H-Header, L-Line. It looks as follows.. Each H record can have multiple corresponding L records
H..........
L.......
L......
L......
H.........
L.......
L......
L......
I have HEADER_ID column in HEADER_TABLE and HEADER_ID, LINE_ID columns in the LINE_TABLE.
While loading data using SQL Loader, I need to generate HEADER_ID and LINE_ID values as follows and load them.
H..........<HEADER_ID = 1>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 1>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 2>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 3>
H......... <HEADER_ID = 2>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 2><LINE_ID = 4>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 2><LINE_ID = 5>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 2><LINE_ID = 6>
Is it possible to do this with SQL LODER?
I tried to do this with sequences. But it loaded the tables as follows.
H..........<HEADER_ID = 1>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 1>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 2>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 3>
H......... <HEADER_ID = 2>
L....... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 4>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 5>
L...... <HEADER_ID = 1><LINE_ID = 6>
Thanks
Ketha

Morgan,
Examples given in the link are quite generic and I have tried them. But my requirement is focused on generating header_id and line_id values as i have described. It seems that SQLLDR scans all records for a particular WHEN clause and insert them into the specified table. I think that if SQLLDR is made to read recod in the data file sequentially, this can be done.
ANy idea of how to make SQLLDR read the records from the file sequentially?
Thanks
Ketha

Invokin SQL*Loader from a stored procedure

I try to invoke SQL*LOADER from within a database package by using external C procedure (the procedure calls the system() C function) but the loader generates the following error in its log file :
SQL*Loader -523: error -2 writing to file (STDERR)
and no data is uploaded.
I have tried to use system() from within database procedures to execute OS commands and it works. Does anyone know what is the problem with using system() to execute "sqlldr <parameters>"? Is there some other way to call the loader from within a stored PL/SQL procedure?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi
What is your task and why you are trying to invoke SQL*Loader from strorage procedure or package? Maybe the redirecting of stderr will resolve your problem but thik is it the best way to do your job.
I am not sure, that invoking other executables from Oracle instance is good idea.
