SQLLDR: (CTL file) How to ONLY load 1 record of the CSV file

Hello,
We are in 11g, and we get CSV data.
I'd like to know if there is a way in the CTL file to specify that I only want to load first row ?
I know how to do it if there is a common unique value in the first row (WHEN myColumn = 'value1' )
BUT, in that case, first row doesn't hold any specific value, and I think that I have to tell the loader to take only first row.
I hope it is clear.
Here is the CTL, in the case we can get a specific value for first row:
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
APPEND
CONTINUEIF LAST != ";"
INTO TABLE IMPORT_FIRST_LINES
WHEN COL_3 = 'firstRowValue'
   FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( COL_1         CHAR
, COL_2         CHAR
, COL_3         CHAR)
{code}
So, I think I need to change the *WHEN clause*.
I hope it is clear enough for you to understand.
Thanks in advance,
    Olivier

just change the control file like this,
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
APPEND
CONTINUEIF LAST != ";"
INTO TABLE IMPORT_FIRST_LINES
WHEN COL_3 = 'firstRowValue'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( COL_1 CHAR
----------- if you only want to load 1st column of csv file to first column in table.

Can we do it without using 3 comm channels
Thanks&regards,

Hey,
As a more generic solution, can you try using MultiMapping. It is supposed to generate multiple instances of messages on receiver side.
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible
You just need to put a simple logic in Message Mapping to generate new Node for every occurence of source field.

File Adapter - Multiple fixed length records in the same file

Hi
I am developing a BPEL process that "Sync Read" a file. The file is a flat file comprising of multiple records and each record is of fixed length. There are no delimiters in the file. I got the xsd associated to this flat file and each element is defined with some fixed length and starting position. The xsd is valid.
When I execute the BPEL Process, I get the following error - I verified the file structure and the position of the fields map correctly. Remember this is not an xml file just a plain text file. Can BPEL process such files or should I always provide an "xml" file?
<bpelFault><faultType>0</faultType><bindingFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"><part name="detail"><detail>Start of root element expected.</detail></part><part name="summary"><summary>Exception occured when binding was invoked.

hi,
see you actually read a XML file and when you read it it is verified by a XSD the location of the XSD is in the XML file it self,
<tns:abc xmlns:tns="http://xmlns.int.aaa.co.uk/xmlns/BPELXXX"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.int.aaa.co.uk/xmlns/BPELXXX *c:/aaa/bbb/ccc/XSD/abc.xsd*">
if the file you are reading is valid then it is read, other wise not, I am not sure about sys read, but in empty BPEL process, if the XML is not validated with the XSD, then the XML is not read, I am still not sure what is the meaning of flat file, are you doing a opaque read?

How to write the char value as is in the CSV file

Hi Everyone,
I am creating csv files which contains inventory details for all the products. I am able to create the csv file with utl file concepts. My problem starts after the csv file is being created.
some of the product numbers(Though I am saying Product number, it is varchar2 data type in the table) is like this 3E-12, 3E-54 and so on. I have totally 23 product numbers like this.
When the user opens the csv file it is changing to numbers like this 3.00E-12, 3.00E-54. I want to keep the product number as it is like char value. I tried many quoting and concat methods.
But none of them works for me.
I am using oracle 9i.

Hey damorgan,
Can you please give me little more detail about your workaround method. I think I did the ODBC Connection Once for MS ACCESS database. I
hope you are taking about the same method.

Need to take a value from the csv file and query in a OAF page.

Hello,
I have a requirement to take the list of employee numbers in a csv file and display its corresponding job on the page.
I have created a item 'MessageFileupload' where the user will upload the csv file containing the employee number and a Button 'Display Jobs' which will display the corresponding jobs on the page.
Any idea how to take the values from the csv file and query it?

No. Flash can only display html content in textfields and only supports a very limited number of html tags (look up the htmlText property of TextFields). So to display an html/php file is not possible.

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad?

You can email them, you can use DropBox, SugarSync or another cloud service or you can use iOS file sharing.
But in all cases you need an app on the iPad that will open and save those types of files. iBooks, Adobe Readers, Good Reader and Save 2 PDF will all save PDF files.
Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and the Apple iWorks apps will open and save the MS office files. You can Google - "iPad apps that are compatible with Microsoft Office files" and you will find other alternatives - or search the app store for more.
You can read this as well for some instruction on getting those files onto an iPad.

How to automate loading data from a text file ?

Hi,
I need to load a data form a text file automatically. (for example: every day at 6.p.m) .
It is possible to use DBMS_SCHEDULER with SQL LOADER ? or maybe u have others idea ?
regards,

assuming that the text file resides at the machine where the database is installed at you can create a procedure that use the built-in UTL_FILE package to read and load the data to the oracle tables. then create a job that use the DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER to create an automated schedule to run the job that calls the procedure you have created.
or assuming that the text file resides or at the local/client machine (example c:\ drive) on a windows xp platform. create a batch file that do a ftp to transfer the text file to the oracle database server and create a schedule job using the windows scheduler. also create a procedure that use the built-in UTL_FILE package to read and load the data to the oracle tables. then create a job that use the DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER to create an automated schedule to run the job that calls the procedure you have created.
