SQL  Loader + SQLPlus*

I realize I should probably know this, but I don't.
I need to run a sequence of PL/SQL scripts in order to disable constraints, followed by SQL Loader scripts, followed again by PL/SQL scripts to enable the same constraints.
I have all the scripts todo this. When I run them seperately, they all run successfully.
How can I create some type of batch scripts to run from either the Command Prompt or from within SQLPlus* that would allow me to run everything?
If a create a command prompt batch script I don't know how to get out of SQLPLus* so that I can run SQL Loader, and if I run the PL/SQL scripts from within SQLPlus* I don't know how to get to the command prompt to run the SQL Loader scripts.
Any adivce or recommended web page with this specific info. would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Best Regards,
Irene

Write a SQL*PLUS script:
execute my_procedure_to_disable();
host sqlldr / control=blah.ctl etc
execute my_procedure_to_disable();
Or wrap it all up in a shell script and do it that way.

  • Calling sql loader in sqlplus

    Hi all, i am trying to load a file called text1.txt using sql loader. I am using sqlplus but i dont know how to call sql loader in sql plus.
    can someone provide syntax assumming data file is text1.txt and control file is txt.clt
    thanks

    Why on earth? Though you forgot to include version info, assuming you are not using 9i or older, you can and should use the external table facility and you don't need this unstable and resource consuming procedure.
    If you would have thought even one second about solving your own problem, you would have realized sqlloader is a separate O/S utility, which requires the host command, and username/password on the commandline.
    That alone is a reason not to do it.

  • SQL*Loader-925: Error while parsing a cursor (via ocisq)

    Receiving the following error message when trying to use SQLLoader (on NT) >>>
    SQL*Loader-925: Error while parsing a cursor
    (via ocisq)
    ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
    Trying to use the application for the first time, logon using userid for which sqlplus operates, and the table does exist under the user schema, as owner.
    ctl and dat file are correct. Log file gives me no further detail of the errors.
    Are there any configuration settings or something required for this app?
    Thanks

    Thanks Warren. I was concentrating more on the first line of the error.
    You are right. The issue was of insufficient privileges. The table did not have all the necessary grants provided.

  • SQL*Loader and integrity constraints

    I am running into trouble with integrity constraints in my SQL*Loader script runs. Should I be going up to unix and removing the constraints from sqlplus, then asking the wizard to reinstall them after the data load? Is this documented somewhere? I can't find it. Sorry for asking such a basic question.
    Thanks,
    Ann Cantelow

    Hi,
    Your approach is correct.
    Create tables first
    Move data via the scripts
    Create contraints, indexes, primary keys

  • SQL Loader and weird source file structure

    I am familiar with using SQL Loader to process comma or tab delimited text files into proper table data. But how do you process "positionally delimited" files?!
    I mean, I have a text file which looks like this:
    Item A
    ---attribute1
    ---attribute2
    ---attribute3
    ---attribute4
    Item B
    ---attribute1
    ---attribute2
    ---attribute3
    ---attribute4
    Item C
    ---attribute1
    ---attribute2
    ---attribute3
    ---attribute4
    And so on. How do I tell SQL Loader, 'rows 1, 6 and 11 are the first column in the table; rows 2, 7 and 12 and the second column; rows 3, 8, 13 are the third and so on? I want to end up with data in the form
    Item A Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3 Attribute 4
    Item B Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3 Attribute 4
    Item C Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3 Attribute 4
    Is such a thing even possible with SQL Loader?

    If your data is exactly in that format like in sample provided by Enrique, you can try to play with that certain data pattern. Again, based on previous example:
    ~ >cat data.dat
    map1

  • SQL*Loader and pipe on unix

  • Sql loader and bulk data

    hi,
    I want to insert 100,000 records daily in a table for the first month and then in next month these records are going to be replaced by new updated records.
    there might be few addition and deletion in the previous records also.
    actually its consumer data so there might be few consumer who have withdrawn the utility and there will be some more consumer added in the database.
    but almost 99% of the previous month data have to be updated/replaced with the fresh month data.
    For instance, what i have in my mind is that i will use sql loader to load data for the first month and then i will delete the previous data using sqlPlus and load the fresh month data using sql loader again.
    1. Is this ok ? or there is some better solution to this.
    2. I have heard of external files, are they feasible in my scenario?
    3. I have planned that i will make scripts for sqlPlus and Loader and use them in batch files. (OS windows 2003 server, Oracle 9i database). is there some better choice to make all the procedure automatic?
    looking for your suggestions
    nadeem ameer

    I would suggest u use External tables since its more flexible then
    sqlloader & is a better option.
    For using external tables
    1)u will have to create a directory first
    2)Generally creation od directory is done by sys,hence after creating the directory
    privileges read & write to be provided to user .
    3)Creation of external tables.
    4) Now use the table as a normal table to insert ,update delete in
    ur table.
    U can get more information from
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/SQLNewFeatures9i.php#ExternalTables
    Create Directory <directory_name> as <Directory path where file be present>
    Grant read,write on directory <directory_name> to <username>
    CREATE TABLE <table_name>
    (<column names>)
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY ,directory_name>
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    LOCATION (<filename>)
    PARALLEL 5
    REJECT LIMIT 200;
    Hope this helps.

  • SQL Loader unicode (umlaut) problem

    Hi
    I want to load some data with SQL Loader. The data contains german umlaut like ä, ö, ü.
    The loading process works, but the umlaut are transformed to something like 'ü' in the DB. How can I get to load them correctly?
    My environment:
    - DB 10g Rel.2
    - Windows XP
    - Registry key in Ora_Home: NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252
    I tried it with setting the character set in the CTL file:
    characterset 'WE8MSWIN1252'
    That didn't help either.
    Does anyone have an idea? I searched the forum but didn't find a solution.
    Thanks for your help,
    Roger

    Maybe a codepage issue ? See this example :
    C:\tmp>type umlaut.ctl
    load data
    infile umlaut.dat
    replace
    into table umlaut_tab
    (a)
    C:\tmp>sqlldr test/test control=umlaut.ctl

  • SQL * Loader with Spanish data!

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to load Spanish data into a table. I am using SQL*Loader control file to load the data.
    Everything is fine, but the Spanish charecters are not inserting as they have to. It is inserting some junk charecters.
    How can I solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Are you using init.ora (pfile) or spfile? Anyway you can do this
    sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    sql> create pfile='/location_to_pfile/init.ora' from spfile;
    File Created
    Modify init.ora file and add parameter to support spanish characters
    sql>shutdown immediate;
    sql>startup pfile='/path_to_pfile/init.ora';  -- YOu should be able mount and open and successfully
    Test your data using sqlldr and if it is doing what you are expected it do then.
    sql>shutdown immediate;
    sql>create spfile from pfile='/path_to_pfile/init.ora';
    File Created
    sql>startup;
    sql>show parameter you_parameter_nameor you can try this to
    sqlplus "/as sysdba"
    sql> alter system set parameter_name=value scope=both sid='*';
    or
    sql>alter system set paramter_name=value sid='*';
    sql> show parameter parameter_name;
    Test your data using sqlldr Regards
