SQL* Loader to load data format into tables??????

Hi,
Hai I am very much new to Oracle. I am trying to load data into a table using SQL*Loader and i getting error while it is using the data format.
the format used in data file is "Sep 6 2001 12:00:00:000AM"
and when i used to_date( :accountDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS AM or PM') function it throws me an exception like
"ORA-01821: date format not recognized". so anybody can help me to insert data with out changing the data file, whould be really helpfull
thanks
vijay

Also it looks like you need to change your date format mask.
If your data is formatted as "Sep 6 2001 12:00:00:000AM"
then you should use to_date( :accountDate, 'Mon DD YYYY HH:MI:SSAM')
This will work with a two digit second field, but not a three digit second field.

When there are multiple tables in a control file, SQL Loader assumes the data for the first file in the second table immediately follows the last field in the first table. You probably want SQL Loader to start looking for the first column of the second table at the start of the second table. You can do this by using the POSITION clause

Java.sql.SQLException:ORA-01801:date format is too long for internal buffer

Hi,
I am getting the following exception when i trying to insert data in to a table through a stored procedure.
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01801: date format is too long for internal buffer
when execute this stored procedure from ana anonymous block , it gets executed successfully, but i use a OracleCallableStatement to execute the procedure i am getting this error.
Please let me know how to resolve this error.
Is this error something to do with the Database Configuration ?
Thanks & Regards
Meenal

I don't know if this will help, but we were getting this error in several of the standard OA framework pages and after much pain and aggravation it was determined that visiting the Sourcing Home Page was changing the timezone. For most pages this just changed the timezone that dates were displayed in, but some had this ORA-01801 error and some others had an ORA-01830 error (date format picture ends before converting entire input string). Unfortunately, if you are not using Sourcing at your site, this probably won't help, but if you are, have a look at patch # 4519817.
Note that to get the same error, try the following query (I got this error in 9.2.0.5 and 10.1.0.3):
select to_date('10-Mar-2006', 'DD-Mon-YYYY________________________________________________HH24:MI:SS') from dual;
It appears that you can't have a date format that is longer than 68 characters.

Problem with SQL*Loader and different date formats in the same file

DB: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
System: AIX 5.3.0.0
Hello,
I'm using SQL*Loader to import semi-colon separated values into a table. The files are delivered to us by a data provider who concatenates data from different sources and this results in us having different date formats within the same file. For example:
...;2010-12-31;22/11/1932;...
I load this data using the following lines in the control file:
EXECUTIONDATE1 TIMESTAMP NULLIF EXECUTIONDATE1=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:EXECUTIONDATE1, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
DELDOB TIMESTAMP NULLIF DELDOB=BLANKS "TO_DATE(:DELDOB, 'DD/MM/YYYY')",
The relevant NLS parameters:
NLS_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD/MM/RR
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=FRENCH
If I load this file as is the values loaded into the table are 31 dec 2010 and 22 nov *2032*, aven though the years are on 4 digits. If I change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to DD/MM/YYYY then the second date value will be loaded correctly, but the first value will be loaded as 31 dec *2020* !!
How can I get both date values to load correctly?
Thanks!
Sylvain

This is very strange, after running a few tests I realized that if the year is 19XX then it will get loaded as 2019, and if it is 20XX then it will be 2020. I'm guessing it may have something to do with certain env variables that aren't set up properly because I'm fairly sure my SQL*Loader control file is correct... I'll run more tests :-(

SQL Loader to append data in same table but using differnet WHEN clauses

In my data file i have a header record and a detail record identified by Record_type = 1 and 2 respectively.
The Database table has all the columns to capture detail records but i want to capture jus one column of header record now also in my existing table. So i have added that column (DATA_DATE)in my table but how to capture that value ?
im writing my control file using two WHEN clauses, something like -
load data
into table t_bdn
append
when RECORD_TYPE = '2'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" TRAILING NULLCOLS
SEQUENCE_NO
, RECORD_TYPE
, DISTRIBUTOR_CODE
, SUPPLIER_CODE
, SUPPLIER_DISTRIBUTOR_CODE
, DISTRIBUTOR_SKU
, SUPPLIER_SKU
when RECORD_TYPE = '1'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" TRAILING NULLCOLS
SEQUENCE_NO FILLER
, RECORD_TYPE FILLER
, CREATE_DATE FILLER
, DATA_DATE "NVL(to_date(:DATA_DATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD'),to_date('9999/12/31', 'YYYY/MM/DD'))"
im getting error " expecting INTO and foung WHEN RECORD_TYPE = '1' "
if i give iNTO second time it will append a new row altogether in my table but i want the same row to be updated with this DATA_DATE value coming from RECORD_TYPE =1 and header record has 4 delimited data text fields only and i am interested in fetching just the 4th column..
KIndly suggest what to do ?

Ravneek, I could be wrong but sqlldr is a 'load' program, that is, it inserts data. I am unaware of any ability to update existing rows as you seem to want. What you appear to want to do is more the job of a merge statement.
I would look at writing a pro* language, a .net, or a java program to perform inserts where some or all of the newly inserted rows are also to be updated.
From the manual: (Oracle® Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) Part Number B14215-01)
Updating Existing Rows
The REPLACE method is a table replacement, not a replacement of individual rows. SQL*Loader does not update existing records, even if they have null columns. To update existing rows, use the following procedure:
1. Load your data into a work table.
2. Use the SQL language UPDATE statement with correlated subqueries.
3. Drop the work table.

Problem in loading 0calday infoobject date format through Flatfile in cube

Hi All,
I am facing problem in loading the 0calday infoobject data through flat file( format - test.csv) in infocube..
Suppose consider we are having two flat files(test1.csv,test2.csv).
1.First file(test1.csv) has a proper date format (ie YYYYMMDD), while loading it is succesfully .
2.Second file(test2.csv) has improper date format(ie DDMMYYYY), loading fails because of this format..
Is it possible to write the Routine(Start Routine) in the Infopackage (External data-Tab) in such a way the if the flat file(test1.csv) is proper date format load calday data without any conversion, if the file is test2.csv convert the date field format from (DDMMYYYY) to (YYYYMMDD) and finally laod data in cube.
With regards,
Hari.
+91 9323839017

Hello Dinesh,Anil
There is no distinguishing field between the two flat file loads.
We are using only one infoobject(ie 0calday) for two loads.
We are using two external source system(one system generate file as YYYYMMDD date format,and another system generate date formate as DDMMYYY, here two file names are unique.
Here my requirement is i have to compare two file names using start routine of the package (tab:External data) .
if(test1.csv)
load as it is 0calday data (since it is in proper format YYYYMMDD)
else if(test2.csv)
then convert from DDMMYYYY to YYYYMMDD and load data to 0calday infoobject in cube.
Is it possible to compare two files names using start routine.
with regards,
Hari

Downloading loading option and date format

Hello,
While downloading a pdf file by mistake i checked on both "Save File" and also "Default", following to which whenever i download any file its directly saving file wherein i need to just open the file withou saving the save.
Am not able to find options tab under Tools inorder to reset my setting to Default
Also currently under Firefox date format is MM/DD/YYYY, could we change this to DD/MM/YYYY
Am using 3.6 (corporate version),
Thanks, Karthik ([email protected])

setDateFormat() is expecting a format mask that is valid for the java.text.SimpleDateFormat object.
So, just do:
setDateFormat("d/M/yyyy");

I have tried using different setDateFormat which is contrary.
sav.setDateFormat("d.M.y");
sav.setDateFormat("H:m:s");

Thanks in advance.

Date format in Table Editor

I am using Oracle 8.1.7. I tried to set the date format by setting the NLS_DATE_FORMAT variable, but it worked for sqlplus only. How can I set it for the Enterprise Manager's Table Editor? Thanks

I guess you have to change that parameter in init.ora file of the database. According to what I know you can not set that format in OEM.
