Sql loder external_table=generate_only

Hi,
In Oracle 11g SQLLDR has the following command line option EXTERNAL_TABLE = GENERATE_ONLY which, when you give it an old-fashioned SQLLDR control file, will spit out the External Table equivalent in the log file.
sqlldr lodusr@proddb control=cont.ctl external_table=generate_only
I want generate external table log for external table with preprocessor option. How can I set this option in control file?

External_table=generate_only: Change name

Good evening,
With the sqlldr command: sqlldr ADMIN_P/zrhqt9ND control=controle.ctl external_table=generate_only which generate the script for the creation and insertion in external table, i would like to change the generic name of the external table...I don't find the option. Do you know if it's possible to precise the beginning of this name?
regards

A text editor like "vi" works really well. ;-)
You might be able to use DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_TRANSFORM but I've never tried it. Please let us know if you try it whether it works.

SQL Loder

Hi,
I am loading the data using the SQL Loader with “.dat” file. The loader when ever founds the bad data it’s writing bad data into “bad.dat” file. Instead of writing into bad file I have to call another procedure and storing into another schema .
Please let me know is it possible to write like this?
Thanks,
Raj

When you are on Oracle 10gR2 you should indeed load all the data in a (staging) table with all varchars. Then INSERT into the final table with the proper data types and use the "LOG ERRORS" construct to load the errors in an error table.

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

SQL loader load data very slow...

Hi,
On my production server have issue of insert. Regular SQL loder load file, it take more time for insert the data in database.
First 2 and 3 hours one file take 8 to 10 seconds after that it take 5 minutes.
As per my understanding OS I/O is very slow, First 3 hours DB buffer is free and insert data in buffer normal.
But when buffer is fill then going for buffer waits and then insert is slow on. If it rite please tell me how to increase I/O.
Some analysis share here of My server...................

SQL*Loader-273: READBUFFERS may be used only in direct path.

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade from OWB 10G to 11G. y map from flat file to stage maps work fine in 10G. when i upgrade the maps to 11G i get the error:

if i go to configure and make the READBUFFERS to = 0 then the map works fine. this used to work fine in 10G. I compared the .CTL file of sql loder and i notice the 10G sql loader file did not care for this property being set. while in 11G .ctl file i see the readbuffer property being set. though i can make the map run in 11G i can not go to each map and then reset it. ...Please help.
Thanks

Running catproc.sql and catalog.sql scripts

hi there,
what is the need to run catproc.sql and catalog.sql scripts after creating the database manually?
please write me the answer.
thanks in advance.

CATALOG.SQL script create data dictionary views,
synonyms, tables in your sys/system schemas like
(USER_XXX , DBA_XXXX, ALL_XXXX, V$XXXX .....)
CATPROC.SQL script creates all packages including
their procedures and functions in sys schema.
Both must be run through SYS schema.Apart for this
These scripts executes many Create View statements as well as series of other scripts.
Catproc.sql makes call to several other scripts like
standard.sql: to create datatypes and in-built SQL functions
catexp: to create views used by Import/Export utilities
catldr: to create views used by SQL*Loder utilities
and there many other scripts called too.
Similarly, catproc.sql makes call to .sql and .plb encrypted scripts like dbmsutil.sql and dbmssql.sql to create procedural options and PL/SQL utilities.

Unix-pl/sql help required

Sir, I am working for some data warehouse project in which I want to invoke unix shell command from PL/SQL Block, for example, I want to invoke a sql loder from a PL/SQL block. Is it possible. I have searched in all possible resources available with me but couldn't find any solution.
Any sample code will be of great help.

You can try either of these, I don't know about the second one, I think you have to search that site for a Pl/SQL package to execute host commands.

Generate a Control File at Random

hi gurus,
Can anyone let me know how can I create a control file dynamically.
i.e. I have to generate the conteol file for any table if I just pass the parameter to a procedure which will be the table name.
Do anyone have code snippet for this?
Thanks,

If you are planning to load to a specific table at the database, and if this set of tables have the same structure I suggest you the following procedure:
Manually generate one controlfile for a table which will serve just a an stage table. Once you have your control file, use the:
external_table GENERATE_ONLY
This will generate a sql file used to create an external table, check it and run it, this will create an external table which will be able to read your outside file just as if this was inside the database.
Once created, then you can create a sql script which will perform a CTAS or Insert As Select from the external table to the target table.

How to delete a single data from table using control file

And how do you imagine this happening with sqlloader?
The entire purpose of sqlloader is to load data (hence, the name sql*loader*) into a table from an external source. If you want to delete rows from a table, you use the sql DELETE statement.
What is the business problem you are trying to solve?

How to view errors if bulk collect has thrown errors

Hi,
I have few questions.
1.How to view error whether bulk collect is successful or not
2.What is identified & unidentified relationships in ERWIN
3.How to see the errors whether the sql loder is successful or not
and how to open the log file.Is there any specific command in UNIX
which tells loader is successful or thrown error
4.When executing the pl/sql procedure from UNIX.how to check for errors.
Please provide the answers for this
Thanks

Use SAVE EXCEPTIONS clause in your FORALL loop.
Is this for homework/test?
