SQL Loader: using your own function

Hi,
Is it possible to include your own function in sql*loader? Would this be a correct syntax?
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE MY_TABLE
IDE "my_seq.nextval"
CLIENT_NBR POSITION (1:10) CHAR
CLIENT_TYP POSITION (11:12) "MY_PACKAGE.MY_FUNCTION(:CLIENT_TYP)"
)So the value of the data ( position 11:12) needs te be processed first by the function. The result of the function needs to be stored in the CLIENT_TYP column.
Thank you

Sql loader using position and functions

Hi all, i need help loading some data in my table using sql loader. consider the following
CREATE TABLE er
a1 NUMBER,
a2 number,
a3 VARCHAR2(100),
a4 VARCHAR2(100),
a5 VARCHAR2(100),
a6 VARCHAR2(100),
a7 VARCHAR2(100),
a8 VARCHAR2(100)
OPTIONS (BINDSIZE=20548000, READSIZE=20548000, STREAMSIZE=20548000, DATE_CACHE=25000, SKIP=0)
LOAD DATA
INTO TABLE er
APPEND
TRAILING NULLCOLS
a1            POSITION(0001:0021)               ,
a2            POSITION(0022:0042)       "DECODE(SUBSTR(:a2,1,3),'***',NULL,:a2)"      ,
a3            POSITION(0043:0053)       ,

BEGIN
                 0.00 ******************** X          X          X          *X          ****
END;if you look at the data, some fields have a lot of * and some has af few such as ****. i want to load this data into a table and when a field contain all * as a value, i want to set it to null. if a field contain a * and alphanumeric then that value should be load as it is.
in the example above, ******************** should be set to null and **** should also be set to null. notice that there is a field with X. since this field contain alpha numeric, it should be loaded into the table as is. the only time field should be set to null is when the value contain all .
somebody in this forum suggest using decode but it looks like it is not working and i get error when it reads second field and try to insert into a2 number column.
is there any way to use regular expression to find out if a field contain all *. also i want to trim each field since they might contain leading spaces.
can some one help with this using the sqlloader ctl and data above?

You can include regular expression in you SQL*Loader control file.
An example can be found here:

Demos 7 and 8 using the UPPER and DECODE functions to illustrate how to do it.

How To Use Your Own Router with Out Loosing Verizon's FIOS Services

How to use your own router with Verizon’s FIOS Service
First, you need a basic understanding of how FIOS works but unfortunately there are two types of FIOS systems out there. All of the systems utilize a fiber optic cable to bring TV, phone and internet to your location over one optic cable. In addition these systems provide interactivity including widgets, remote DVR, movies on demand and so forth via an IP (Internet Protocol) signal. Your STB (Set Tip Box) requires both a video and IP signal. The IP signal is necessary for all of the aforementioned interactivity. The fiber cable terminates at the Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short. The ONT converts the optics into a digital signal that can be utilized by ones equipment. From the ONT your video, phone and internet are provided to the location. This is where things can differ as the internet signal can be provided via a coaxial (MoCA or Multimedia over Coax Alliance) or RJ45 Cat5 (Ethernet) cable. It is important to identify and understand the differences of these two setups. In my case I have my internet entering via Ethernet cable, which in my humble opinion makes things a heck of a lot easier.
How does one tell the difference? In most cases it’s rather simple; just look at the Verizon’s router WAN (Wide Area Network) Port. Does it have a RJ45 (Ethernet) or Coax (TV cable Cord) going to it? If the router’s WAN port doesn’t have a coaxial connector then one will need to convert the MoCA signal into a usable Ethernet signal that routers understand. The easiest way is to use Verizon’s router as a bridge. In this method the Verizon’s router simply converts the signal and passes it along to your own router. The challenge is to try to maintain the interactivity that FIOS TV provides. Because of this one needs to supply the IP routed signal back to the FIOS router. There are multiple methods for doing this and I would recommend investigates which one make the most sense.
In my particular case the IP signal was provided by Ethernet. Again there are various ways of installing one’s own router. The hardest is to utilize Verizon’s router as a bridge. This setup requires configuring Verizon’s router as a bridge and also creating a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks). In addition one needs to set up their own router so it will work with the various routing tables and networks. For me this is too complex for the average person and it can be difficult to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. Please consider that Verizon will not support utilizing third party routers.
The easier method is to request an Ethernet signal (if you don’t already have one) from their ONT. I would highly recommend getting your hands on a NIM or Network Interface Module. This device is used to convert Ethernet to Coaxial so it can be fed back to your STBs. These can be purchased online and Verizon technicians can be a valuable resource with these sorts of acquisition. At the very least they can point you to the right direction. Once you have a NIM the rest is rather simple.
Log into the current Verizon Router.
Located the router’s MAC address and copy it down.
Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules.
Example:
Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
Application & Ports Forward: Application UDP Any -> 6347
Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.
Look at your current device list, typically found on the home screen. Copy down your STB MAC and IP address.
Example:
IP-STB1
Connection Type: Ethernet
* IP Address: 192.168.1.100
IP Address Allocation: DHCP
*MAC Address:                07:73:fFe:ad:8b:3f
* Things you will need to write down
Go to the network section and look for the main Ethernet connection. Select this and then select more setting, typically found at the bottom. Release the current lease.
Remove the Verizon router
Install your router
Connect the NIM by plugging in an Ethernet from one of the routers LAN (Local Area Network) ports to your NIM. Then connect the coax cable, the same cable that was used by Verizon router.
Set you DHCP routing IP pool to accommodate Verizon’s STB IP’s (note their IP’s start at 192.168.1.100)
Go to DHCP section and reserve the STB IP’s by inserting the IP’s and MAC addresses. This shall ensure that nothing else utilizes the same IPs as the STBs thereby preventing IP address conflict.
Add the port forwards from Step 5 above.
Clone Verizon’s Mac Address utilizing the info from step 2
Finish setting up the router in typical fashion.
Unplug and re-plugin your STB’s and test functionality. It’s best to try using a widget or Movie on demand function.
Note: if the new router can net get an internet signal contact Verizon’s support and have them release the IP and reset the ONT.
EVERYTHING should be working at this point.

3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules.
Example:
Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
Application & Ports Forward: Application UDP Any -> 6347
Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.G
Your display obviously is not like mine as mine does not dosplay the port associated with the ip address
whatever, the STB's start at 192.168.1.100 and icement by 1 for each
the port addr's will be 63145 alo incrementing by 1
there is 1 entry for each in my pf list
however each ip addr also has a port entry starting at 35000 also incrementing by 1 for each ip addr
For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
Why do you clone the mac addr??

Will using your own router allow loopback connections?

SomeJoe7777 you are correct regarding the route of a given packet when using a WAN IP locally (NAT loopback). However will again state that NAT loopback does not work using a router behind the NVG589. As you stated it should...which is why the issue lies with the NVG589. Most likely something to do with IP passthrough mode on the NVG589 not being a true bridge mode which in turn does effect one's own router. Bottom line I encourage you to attempt NAT loopback yourself with a router behind the NVG589 and report your results. It wouldn't be the first time that ATT said something should work only to later admit it was a problem with their hardware.

NAT loopback is defined as a function of a router where connections to ports on the outside IP address are translated and routed to the server defined in the router, even when the connection attempt comes from the "inside" portion of the network.
e.g.. Let's say we have a router with an outside IP address of 99.99.99.99 (a public IP address), and the router has been configured so that inbound connections to port 80 on that WAN interface are translated to a destination address of 192.168.1.20 (on the inside network). This enables a web server running on the 192.168.1.20 machine to respond to web requests from the Internet, provided those web requests are coming in to 99.99.99.99.
If another computer on the internal network, such as 192.168.1.101, can pull up the web site using http://99.99.99.99 (instead of the direct connection of http://192.168.1.20 ) then the router implements NAT loopback.
Now, knowing that, let's review:
If you use your own router, and it is the device doing the network address translation (NAT), that means it's outside address is x.x.x.x (a publically routable IP address), and it's inside addresses are private, in RFC 1918 address space. This can be set up with the U-Verse modems using DMZPlus (2Wire/Pace 3xxx series gateways) or IP Passthrough (Motorola NVG5xx series gateways).
NAT loopback in this situation is completely dependent on the functionality of your own router. By definition, any NAT loopback request under this circumstance never leaves your network and your router, and thus never touches the U-Verse gateway at all.
The bottom line is that if NAT loopback is not working with your router, then you either haven't configured your router properly, or your router doesn't support it. The ISP gateway has no bearing on this functionality whatsoever when configured in conjunction with your own router as described above.

Using your own router

Good day all, I would like to hear from others who use their own routers to connect to Verizon Fios. Are there any pro's or con's to using your own? Will your connection be more secure using Verizon's equipment or your own. Any difference in speeds noted? Thank for your opinions.

Just got FiOS today and faced the same issue. I need to keep the Actiontec router for the TV STBs, but it has not the same features as my D-Link 655. There are instructions online on how to turn the Actiontec into a network bridge, but that may interfere with services.
Here is what I did:
1. Change the IP of the Actiontec router to something different than the 192.168.1.1 so that it doesn't interfere with your existing router (unless your router already uses a different IP, then you can skip this). I followed the instructions from here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20329726-northeast-how-to-change-the-default-IP-on-Actiontec-M1424W...
Note 1: Once you change the address you need to reconnect to the other IP address!
Note 2: You also need to change the DHCP range on the Actiontec to no longer include the new IP. This can be changed on the same page.
2. Make sure that you power cycle the STBs, otherwise they still look for the router on the old address
3. Plug your router of choice in and connect one of the LAN ports of the Actiontec to the WAN port of your router
4. You now should be able to access Internet through your router.
I use DynDNS so that I can remote into a system at home using a domain name. If you have such a setup be aware that the web admin of the Actiontec will be accessible from the Internet!
I fixed that by
1. Setting the Actiontec's firewall to the lowest setting
2. Forwarding all TCP and UDP ports to my router except for the port 4567. That apparently is used by something for Verizon (the TV STBs??), so you may need to create multiple forwarding rules. If you choose custom ports you can specify a range, which is really nice. This way all traffic except for port 4567 hits my router and either goes where I forwarded the ports to or goes nowhere as there is no service.
This setup should provide the best of both worlds. I say should as I yet have to test it for a while,but so far things are working out OK.
If you have your own wireless and don't need the wireless from the Actiontec then turn the wireless off on the Actiontec and detach the antenna.

I am having to use IE to access your site to send you a question about why Firefox is not loading even your own home page? Also can i go back to the previous version of Firefox, as this version (4.0) has a huge number of problems?

It started out as once in a while the page would load, but be blank. Now it is nearly every website I attempt to go shows it loads the page, as the address is listed in the top. it shows the page name in the tab, but the page is blank.
As I said in my question, I am having to contact you on IE, because Firefox won't load it's own pages.
So that you know, it had been years snce I used IE, Since loading 4.0 it has become a daily event.

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

Use your own iOS app on your own iOS device without buying a developer program.

This is no question; it is simply a request that you make it possible for people with the free developer program to use their own iOS apps that they built themselves without having to pay $99 a year.
This is because loads of people want to build small apps for themselves, and can do so easily now that Xcode is free on the AppStore. The main problem with this is that they have to pay to simply do this.
So this is in a way a petition for all you people who are the same; who have written your own iOS apps for your personal use only, apps that shall not be distributed and only serve to show what you can do or help a family game to get Apple to make this small thing possible for you (us).
So please post here if you want the same.
Thank you.

As always, feel free to use Report a Bug for any samples, doc additions, feature requests or enhancements you'd like to see as well. Add your BR# to this thread for reference, thanks.
But I wouldn't hold my breath on this one....it would only result in immediate scams.

SQL Loader : Trim and Decode functions help please

Hi,
I have to load data from a flat file, for some columns i need to use TRIM and DECODE functions.It is a pipe delimited file.
I get syntax errors (one is below) same error listed for TRIM.
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line xx.
Expecting "," or ")", found "DECODE".
===========
,FINAL_BILL_DATE CHAR(30) "TRIM(:FINAL_BILL_DATE)"
,BUSINESS_ID "DECODE(:BUSINESS_ID,'B',1,'C',2,'E',3,'G',4,'O',5,'R',6,'T',7,'U',8,'H',9,-1)"
Can anyone please help.
Thanks
Cherrish

Hello Cherrish.
The error you are receiving leads me to believe that at some point prior to the DECODE on the line for BUSINESS_ID, probably some line even before the FINAL_BILL_DATE line, there a syntactical error causing the quotes before the DECODE to actually terminate some other syntax. Without all of the lines that could actually contribute to this, including the header details, this is the best I can advise.
Hope this helps,
Luke

Here's how to use your own custom Webclip icons for the sites you visit.

This method is pretty much 95% taken from this URL: http://allinthehead.com/retro/319/how-to-set-an-apple-touch-icon-for-any-site , so credit where credit is due. The instructions are a bit hard to understand though, so I'll try to make it easier for everyone.
Fortunately, this works for both Macs and PCs.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Requirements:
- iPhone on 1.1.3 and any version of iTunes that can sync to iPhone
- Adobe Photoshop or any other image editing program that can crop, alter image size, and save .png image files. (Recommended 24-bit .pngs as they are higher quality)
- Apple Safari ( http://www.apple.com/safari/, and yes, you need it.)
- A website or ftp where you can upload images and directly link to them, like Google Pages.
Warning:
- This requires you to sync your Safari bookmarks to your iPhone. You will probably lose all of your iPhone's bookmarks if you don't already sync your Safari bookmarks with your iPhone. Only proceed if you do not mind losing your iPhone's current bookmarks and do not mind re-entering them after the bookmark sync. NOTE: The bookmark sync DOES NOT get rid of your current Webclips though, so don't worry about those.
Easy Steps:
1) First, make sure that you are following these instructions in the Apple Safari web browser.
2) Find an image you wish to make into a Webclip icon. (ex: I prefer to use movies.yahoo.com to look at movie showtimes, so I found an image of a movie reel from Google Image Search and decided to use that.)
3) Open the image with your preferred image editor and crop your desired image into a perfect square. Resize that picture down to 57x57 pixels. Save as a 24-bit .png file. Upload the icon to your webpage or ftp. (ex: I ended up with this icon of a movie reel: http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/appleicon01.png )
4) Select and copy the javascript code in this .txt file: http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/webclipcode.txt
5) Go to Bookmarks and select "Add Bookmark..."
6) Type in "Webclip Icon URL"
7) Go to Bookmarks again and select "Show all Bookmarks."
8) Right-click your new "Webclip Icon URL" bookmark and select "Edit Address"
9) Paste your clipboard's contents into the field.
10) Plug your iPhone into the computer if it's not connected already.
11) In iTunes, select your iPhone from the right column. Select the Info tab. Scroll down to "Web Browser" and check "Sync bookmarks with: Safari" (obviously, make sure Safari is selected from the dropdown menu).
12) Once your iPhone is synced, use your iPhone to navigate to your intended website target to make into a Webclip. Remember that Webclips save where you zoom in as well! (ex: For me, it was movies.yahoo.com and then entering in my zip code.)
13) Once you've loaded your target website, open up the bookmarks in iPhone's Safari, select Bookmarks Bar, then select Webclip Icon URL.
14) Type in the address of your uploaded icon. (ex: In my case, it is http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/appleicon01.png)
15) iPhone's Safari will seem like it didn't do anything. However, add that webpage now to your home screen as a Webclip. Magic.
Additional note:
It is easiest to make a bunch of icons at first and to upload them. However, once that "Webclip Icon URL" bookmark is in your iPhone, there is no need to go back and do any of the computer Safari steps again
My front page icons in order (Sorry Stocks, it's the second page for you!):
Google, Wikipedia, Definr, Showtimes

Definitely this is "External Table with Flatfile Moved Across Platforms" issue.

But I do not know plateform of data file.

Calling SQL Loader using HOST command from Developer Forms 4.5

I want to execute a set of code from D2K Forms 4.5 which has interfface with Client - OS ( In my case Windows NT/XP). I want to execute SQL Loader from Forms using Host Command and then after completion of that process, I want to do next transcations ( depending upond success of HOST/SQL Loader).
How to achive this?
I tried writing code like this ...
l_vc_command := 'sqlldr73'
                    ||' USERID='||l_vc_username||'/'||l_vc_password||'@'||l_vc_connect_string
                    ||' CONTROL='||l_vc_filepath||'Upload.ctl'
                    ||' DATA='||LTRIM(RTRIM(l_vc_fileloc))
                    ||' LOG='||l_vc_filepath|| l_vc_log_file || '_' || l_dt_sysdate_str ||'.log'
                    ||' BAD='||l_vc_filepath|| l_vc_bad_file || '_' || l_dt_sysdate_str ||'.bad'
                    ||' DISCARD='||l_vc_filepath|| l_vc_discard_file || '_' || l_dt_sysdate_str ||'.dsc';
HOST(l_vc_command,NO_PROMPT);
After this command i want to do some other code execution. so even if it fails or success, next code is executed. How to control this?
Please help..

Forms6i running on W2000, Rdbms 8.1.7
in Forms I added a button TEST,
Trigger when-button-pressed : host('test.bat') ;
in directory .......\frm I added file test.bat :
REM ===============
cd /d C:\........\ldr
pause
sqlldr parfile=test.par
pause
type test.log
pause
exit
REM ================
now, pressing TEST button opens DOS window, telling me what's going on, running sqlldr, finally going back to forms
Are you using NO_PROMPT or NO_SCREEN option of HOST command ?
Had a look at Forms 4.5 manuals, there is no mentioning of (a)synchronously operation in connection with HOST command.

Sql loader using sql statement

Hi All ,
May i know any way used sql loader refer sql statement e.g "select a from test"
import data into other table ?
if you have any sample or link , please let me know , thanks a lot

If you are using the database steps, the answer is yes. I've done it by creating a data source that uses the Microsoft Text Driver in the ODBC administrator. The Open Database step is then configured like any other ODBC database. In the .csv file, I have the first line define the column names (i.e. column1, column2) and the SQL statement I use is "SELECT * FROM junk.txt". I haven't tried anything with a WHERE clause but that should work as well.

Sql*loader using JSP

wht is the way of using sqlldr in JSP script to load data Oracle DB from a csv file.
i know how we do sqlldr in cmd.
can we provide the sqlldr command to system by using jsp if yes how?

SQL*Loader is a command-line utility. In theory, since Java can call out to the operating system, you could invoke SQL*Loader on the application server to load data into Oracle. It would probably be more appropriate, though, to copy the CSV to the database server and make use of an external table in the database to do the load.
