if sqlldr is run on DB Server system, then no tnsnames.ora file is required.

SQL Loader with date formatting

Hi,
I'm trying to get sql loader to insert a date into a column. After much browsing, reading trial and error I still get an array of errors.
I'm using oracle XE
my control file looks like this
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'posmeters/meters.csv'
INTO TABLE position_meters
FIELDS terminated by ","
ID CONSTANT '0',
POSITION_ID,
DATETIME DATE "DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS",
CASH_IN,

TOKEN_OUT,
ELEC_PAY,
ELEC_CREDIT,
REMOTE_PAY,
REMOTE_CREDIT,
INSERT_TS EXPRESSION "TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')",
FIFTY_PND,
TWENTY_PND,
TEN_PND,
FIVE_PND,
TWO_PND,
ONE_PND,
FIFTY_P,
TWENTY_P,
TEN_P,
FIVE_P
It is the DATETIME field which gives me grief. I have a test data file that looks like this
0,1010,29/09/2011 10:23:24,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24

DATETIME EXPRESSION "TO_DATE(:DATETIME, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')",
DATETIME EXPRESSION "TO_TIMESTAMP(:DATETIME, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')",
I get errors such as
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "SITE_MAIN"."POSITION_METERS", column DATETIME.
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
SQL*Loader-291: Invalid bind variable DATETIME in SQL string for column DATETIME.
any help would greatfully appreciated.

It seems that the problem was caused by the constant at the beginning of the record and had nothing to do with date formats.
My control file now looks like this
LOAD DATA

all is good :o)

Problem using SQL Loader with ODI

Hi,
I am having problems using SQL Loader with ODI. I am trying to fill an oracle table with data from a txt file. At first I had used "File to SQL" LKM, but due to the size of the source txt file (700MB), I decided to use "File to Oracle (SQLLDR)" LKM.
The error that appears in myFile.txt.log is: "SQL*Loader-101: Invalid argument for username/password"
I think that the problem could be in the definition of the data server (Physical architecutre in topology), because I have left blank Host, user and password.
Is this the problem? What host and user should I use? With "File to SQL" works fine living this blank, but takes to much time.
Thanks in advance

I tried to use your code, but I couldn´t make it work (I don´t know Jython). I think the problem could be with the use of quotes
Here is what I wrote:
import os
retVal = os.system(r'sqlldr control=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.ctl log=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.log userid=MYUSER/myPassword @ mySID')
if retVal == 1 or retVal > 2:
raise 'SQLLDR failed. Please check the for details '
And the error message is:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 5, in ?
SQLLDR failed. Please check the for details

How to use SQL loader with DBF fixed format record

Hi everybody!
My situation is that: I want to use SQL loader with Foxpro DBF format, it similar to case 2 study (Fixed format record) but DBF file has header, how can I tell SQL loader skip header.
Thank you in advance

Another option is to apply SQL operators to fields
LOAD DATA
   INFILE *
   APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' (
   empno,
   ename,
   job,
   mgr,
   hiredate DATE(20) "DD-Month-YYYY",

   projno,
loadseq "my_seq.nextval")This is a modified control file of Case Study 3 which originally demonstrated the use of the Sequence parameter

SQL LOADER / INFILE filename as variable in .ctl file

I stumbled over several threads in the OTN-forums regarding this problem, but neither was it finaly solved nor did I find a FAQ that answered my question. Soooo:
We get several datafiles from several sources and process them via SQL Loader and store 'em in the DB.
This is done via a CHRON job and a PERL skript, for all datafiles in a specific directory.
We need the information which file on which date generated the data INSIDE the DB as well.
So I want to store the filename || SYSDATE combination as well.
I know, I could parse the .ctl file and replace a key-string with the actual filename and so have it in the input.
But this seems a bit dirty to me. Isn't there some way, i.e. a keyword or variable for the infile-filename within the SQLLoader that I can access in the .ctl file? Something like:
INTO TABLE processed_files
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
WHEN LOWER(LTRIM(RTRIM(hdr_ftr))) = 'ftr' -- FOOTER??
(hdr_ftr VARCHAR2(100),
source INFILE||' on '||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),
realm VARCHAR2(100),
version VARCHAR2(20)
I would be greatfull if you?d share your wisdom with me. ;-))
Oliver

I passed this quite similar to 'Ask Tom' and got the advice to put the .ctl's content as a string variable into a Shell skript.
This shell skript (which had to be written anyway to loop over the datafiles an subsequently call the sqlldr) should then replace the INFILE parameter and the CONSTANTs for the filenames and generate a 'temporarry' .ctl before calling sqlldr!
That's it, no better and safer way!

SQL Loader with decimal commas

Dear All,
I am loading data for a German client and the delivered files contain numeric data with decimal commas. For example 123,5 instead of 123.5
I've been googling like mad on this one and there is a lot of chatter about setting NLS_LANG and/or NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS but none of this seems to work in the SQL Loader environment.
I imagine that I will end up cobbling together a complicated thing with TO_NUMBER or with another function but I really can't believe that SQL Loader doesn't have a simple switch to flip from point to comma.
Or have I overlooked something?
Any tips would be a great help.
Regards,
Alan Searle

I am on a client's PC and don't have access to administrative settings.
And also, I cannot be sure that whoever runs the load function in the future will check this.
It is therefore important that I find a way to set this in SQL Loader without any other dependencies.
I think I will probably end up processing it as a string and then translating it to numeric. But this seems like a sledge hammer to crack a nut.
Regards and thanks,
Alan

How do I use Embed with an environment variable in an Actionscript AIR project Flash Builder 4.7

I am using Flash Builder 4.7 to build an Actionscript AIR project. The project embeds a number of png files from my local directory and I have been using absolute paths which all works fine.
I have a laptop with which I want to start developing the same project - I set up a git repository that both the laptop and main pc can pull from and so I can get the source where I need it and push it back to the central repository.
My problem is that the absolute paths for the embed commands don't work on the laptop as it has a different filesystem setup (Windows 8 with one drive as opposed to Windows 7 with a SSD and a data drive). I thought the solution would be as easy as using an environment variable to specify the path which could then point to a different physical directory on both machines, i.e:
[Embed(source = "DEVELOPER_RESOURCES/graphics/are/here.png"]
I did a bit of research and there was quite a lot mentioned about setting up resource directories using path variables which I worked through but I just can't get it to compile. The Actionscript compiler just won't find the png files however I specify the path. I tried something with a FLEX project and the compiler didn't complain but I think this is because the compiler for FLEX uses a different convention.
[Embed(source ="/Project Name/DEVELOPER_RESOURCES/graphics/are/here.png"] works with FLEX but not Actionscript.
So does anyone have a recipe for using the Embed command referencing assets using an environment variable that works across multiple machines with different file structures?

I managed to find a solution on Windows which was to use symlinks and absolute paths. You an basically point one directory to another so I did something like:
mklink c:\developer_resources c:/the/local/path/to/my/resources
and then reference all resources as c:\developer_resources\...
Now as long as a developer machine has the right link (from c:\developer_resources to the place where the resources are kept) then it seems to work.
This doesn't however work for Mac and certainly isn't a solution for passing files between Mac and windows

SQL*Loader with multiple files

Gurus,
I search the documentation and this forum and haven't found a solution to my issue yet...
I am not expert of SQL*Loader. I have used SQL*Loader to copy from one file to a table many times. But I have not copied multiple files into one table especially with different names.
More specifically....
I need to load data from multiple files into a table. But the file names will be different each time. A file will be created every hour. The file name will consist of the root file name appended by a time stamp. For example, a file created on 10/07/2010 at 2:15 P.M. would be filea100720101415.txt while a file created on 10/08/2010 at 8:15 A.M. would be filea100820100815.txt. All the files will be in one directory.How can I load the data from the files using SQL*Loader?
My database: Oracle 10g Release 2
Operating System: Windows 2003 Server
Please assist.

RobertToo bad this isn't in *nix, where you get a powerful shell scripting capability.
That said, here is the core of the solution .... you will also need a way to identify files that have been processed vs. new ones. Maybe rename them, maybe move them. But with this sample you can see the basics. From there it is really an issue of DOS scripting, which would better be found by googling around a bit.
cd c:\loadfiles
FOR %%datfile IN (*.txt) DO SQLLDR CONTROL=sample.ctl, LOG=sample.log, BAD=baz.bad, DATA=%%datfileTry googling "dos scripting language". You'll find lots of tutorials and ideas on "advanced" (well, as advanced as DOS gets) techniques to solve your problem.

SQL loader with SYSDATE

Hello,
I have got some problemes with sql loader syntax.
I'm trying to import some data into my table. And I want that the sysdate is import in my table automatically.
This is my char.ctl file :
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE CHANGE_REQUEST
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(CHAR_ID,DATE_CREATION SYSDATE,STATUS,ABSTRACT,USER_ID_FK,SYSTEM_ID_FK,PRIORITY)
BEGINDATA
1,PENDING,Need to have the firsname when listing users,1,Medium
But I still get the error : ORA-00947: not enough values
I have try different line like :
1, ,PENDING,Need to have the firsname when listing users,1,Medium
or
1,SYSDATE,PENDING,Need to have the firsname when listing users,1,Medium
But nothing is working.
Where is the mistake?
Regards.

Another way, wich does not require an alter table is something like this:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE CHANGE_REQUEST
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(CHAR_ID,
stATUS,
ABSTRACT,
uSER_ID_FK,SYSTEM_ID_FK,PRIORITY,
DATE_CREATION "sysdate"
BEGINDATA
1,PENDING,Print issue,1,1,High
I putted DATE_CREATION in last position only for example.
Hope this can help someone.
Bye bye.

SQL*Loader with ZONED EXTERNAL in a delimited file

I have a text file delimited with '|' and numeric data with trailing signs, e.g somedata|12.00-|13.01|42.01-
My table columns are defined as number(9,2) and I defined the datatype in the control file as zoned external. However, I get the dreaded ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

As Bravid says, you can't do that from within SQL*Loader, unless the control files are dynamically generated by a script and the filename included as the default value for that particular column as a hardcoded literal.
It's easier if you use external tables as the table definition contains the "location" which is the list of filenames it is accessing, and the value can be queried as well as being dynamically changed (though if you're dynamically changing it, then you'll programatically know the filename anyway. hint hint!)

Problems using SQL*Loader with Oracle SQL Developer

I have been using TOAD and able to import large (milllions of rows of data) in various file formats into a table in an Oracle database. My company recently decided not to renew any more TOAD licenses and go with Oracle SQL Developer. The Oracle database is on a corporate server and I access the database via Oracle client locally on my machine. Oracle SQL Developer and TOAD are local on my desktop and connected through TNSnames using the Windows XP platform. I have no issues with using SQL*Loader via the import wizard in TOAD to import the data in these large files into an Oracle table and producing a log file. Loading the same files via SQL*Loader in SQL Developer, freezes up my machine and I cannot get it to produce a log file. Please help!

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04. Yes, I have tried it with a smaller file with no success. What is odd is that the log file is not even created. What is created is a .bat file a control file and a .sh file but no log file. The steps that I take:
1.Right click on the table I want to import to or go to actions
2. Import Data
3. Find file to import
4. Data Preview - All fields entered according to file
5. Import Method - SQL Loader utility
6. Column Definitions - Mapped
7. Options - Directory of files set
8. Finish
With the above steps I was not able to import 255 rows of data. No log file was produced so I don't know why it is failing.
thanks.

UDM and shell scripts and working with the ENVIRONMENT variable options

In Userdefined metrics you have the ability to pass envronment variables.
I was going to send
DIR=/db/db05/oradata/ORCL/hot
How to handle whats passed to the shell script?
It passes $1 as {DIR=/db/db05/oradata/ORCL/hot}
yes with the brackets. Here I figured it would simply set the DIR environment variable.
Any cool tricks to work with this mess?
Is it meant for perl scripts instead?

Hi Darth,
Thanks for your hint! Nevertheless I think it's something more profound, since there's no error etc. For example, should I have the path wrong I assume that OWB would return me some kind of an error when it doesn't find the .sh-file? Isn't there any log-file to see whether the command was executed? It seems like the execution of the User Defined element would be skipped altogether.
Cheers,
IlmariNo, if you don't give an absolute path OWB will not return any error, it just wont do anything at all...

Add firewall rule with custom environment variable in program path

Hi,
We want to create a firewall rule for a program which is placed in folder which changes sometimes. I know you can add a firewall with the ProgramFiles environment variable like this:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Test Firewall rule" dir=in program="%%ProgramFiles%%\Test\Test.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
The environment variable ProgramFiles isn't expanded and if the Program Files folder is different on a system the rule still works.
We try to use this with a custom environment variable which we set a system environment variable with this command:
SETX SomeFolder "D:\Some Folder\Apr 2015" /M
If we use the command below to add the firewall rule in a batch file the environment variable SomeFolder is expanded correctly and the program path is added as a static path.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Some Firewall Rule" dir=in program="%SomeFolder%\AFile.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
Because the folder changes sometimes we want to change the environment variable SomeFolder and not remove the old firewall rule and create a new one. We want to add the environment variable SomeFolder to the program path as a (dynamic) environment variable
and not as the expanded path at the moment when the rule is added. If we use this command:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Some Firewall Rule" dir=in program="%%SomeFolder%%\AFile.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
We get the error:
          Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
          An error occurred while adding the rule.
          Error: The parameter is incorrect
          Status: The application name could not be resolved
          OK
Why can't we use %%SOMEFOLDER%% like we can use %%PROGRAMFILES%%? The same error is shown when we try to add the firewall rule through the management console 'Windows Firewall with Advanced Security'
W. Spu

Hi,
Based on my plenty of test with this problem, it seems like there is no better method to achieve your requirement. To add new policy to firewall, it would be better using general cmdlet. The path parameter like %%SomeFolder%% do have problem in add firewall
policy cmdlet.
