SQLLoader: Uploading data file name along with data

I am using Oracle SQLLoader to upload my data from CSV files into a single table. My current CTL file is as follows:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'trace_metals100.csv'
INFILE 'trace_metals101.csv'
APPEND
INTO TABLE TRACE_METALS
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(STATION_NO, METAL_NAME, METAL_WT)
Just for my record I want to upload the data file name also along with the data into a fourth column. How should I do it using SQLLoader??
Regards,
Moiz

Do two loads using two separate control files:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'trace_metals100.csv'
APPEND
INTO TABLE trace_metals
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(station_no,
metal_name,
metal_wt,
fourth_column_name CONSTANT trace_metals100.csv)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'trace_metals101.csv'
APPEND
INTO TABLE trace_metals
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(station_no,
metal_name,
metal_wt,
fourth_column_name CONSTANT trace_metals101.csv)

File name substitution with Data pump

Hi,
I'm experimenting with Oracle data pump export, 10.2 on Windows 2003 Server.
On my current export scripts, I am able to create the dump file name dynamically.
This name includes the database name, date, and time such as the
following : exp_testdb_01192005_1105.dmp.
When I try to do the same thing with data pump, it doesn't work. Has anyone
had success with this. Thanks.

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.

Barry

How to store data file name in one of the columns of staging table

My requirement is to load data from .dat file to oracle staging table. I have done following steps:
1. Created control file and stored in bin directory.
2. Created data file and stored in bin directory.
3. Registered a concurrent program with execution method as SQL*Loader.
4. Added the concurrent program to request group.
I am passing the file name as a parameter to concurrent program. When I am running the program, the data is getting loaded to the staging table correctly.
Now I want to store the filename (which is passed as a parameter) in one of the columns of staging table. I tried different ways found through Google, but none of them worked. I am using the below control file:
OPTIONS (SKIP = 1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE '&1'
APPEND INTO TABLE XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
COUNTRY_NAME
,COUNTRY_CODE
,ORDER_CATEGORY
,ORDER_NUMBER
,RECORD_ID "XXCISCO_SO_INTF_STG_TB_S.NEXTVAL"
,FILE_NAME CONSTANT "&1"
,REQUEST_ID "fnd_global.conc_request_id"
,LAST_UPDATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,LAST_UPDATE_DATE SYSDATE
,CREATED_BY "FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID"
,CREATION_DATE SYSDATE
,INTERFACE_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
,RECORD_STATUS CONSTANT "N"
I want to store file name in the column FILE_NAME stated above. I tried with and without constant using "$1", "&1", ":$1", ":&1", &1, $1..... but none of them worked. Please suggest me the solution for this.
Thanks,
Abhay

Date, File name, User Stamp

I've looked for hours for a script that will work in Illustrator CS4 that will put a text block on the page identifying:
Date, File Name and the User's name on the document (art board)
I am not versed in scripting. Can anyone help me out?

Hi Y'all This post is where scripting all started for me. At the time I didn't know anything and Muppet Mark kindly helped me out. Since then I have learned Applescript and written my slug script in that. This has the advantage of being able to access system information. Here it is:
-- captures the user's first name from the system for use in dialog boxes
set myName to (long user name of (system info))
set sp to (offset of " " in myName)
set myFirstName to text 1 thru (sp - 1) of myName
-- captures the user's short name from the system for use in the slug
set myShortName to (short user name of (system info))
set myInitials to text 1 thru 2 of myShortName
tell application "Adobe Illustrator" to set myDocCount to count of documents

Sql loader:loading data file name to one of the tabe column.

Hi,
I want to load the data file name also to one of the table column.
Table structure:
File_Name varchar2
Name varchar2
Age number
Data File Format:
Vijay|24
Anandh|24
Senthil|26
In the above eg how to write a control file to load the data file name to the File_Name column of the table.
Note:
The shell script will first pick up the data files to be loaded and calls the control file.
Thanks,
Vijay.

From a unix load perspective this is what we have done :
Create a control file (say load_data.ctl) something like
LOAD DATA
append
Into table file_name_age
File_Name constant '<FILENAME>',
Name CHAR TERMINATED BY '|'
Age INTEGER EXTERNAL TERMINATED BY '|' )
in a unix loop do the following
for i in `ls $LOADDIR` ; do
#Replace <FILENAME> with actual filename and create a temp ctl file
sed s/\<FILENAME\>/${1}/g < ${CTLDIR}/load_data.ctl > ${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
#load using temp file
sqlldr / CONTROL=${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
DATA=$i
#remove temp
rm ${TMPDIR}/load_data_${1}.ctl
done
Where
${TMPDIR}=your temp directory
${CTLDIR}=where your main directory for ctl files
$LOADDIR=Your data directory

Possibility of capturing data file name in SQL * Loader

Hi,
I have a requirement to capture the data file name in the staging table, is there a way that i can capture it in SQL * Loader or any other way of doing it.
Need experts suggestion please.
Thanks,
Genoo

Hi Genoo.
how do we capture the file name and stores in the temporary table
You may use the above command mentioned in my previous post (if Linux) to populate the Test.csv file with the available file name in the directory, i.e:
ls /some/path/*.dat | xargs -n1 basename > /home/oracle/Test.csv
1. Ensure to first load the Test.csv file as for eg:
1,aaa
2,bbb
3,ccc
2. Create a control file to load these records into temporary tables,for eg:
load data
infile '/home/oracle/Test.csv'
into table file_name_upload
fields terminated by ","
( id, file_name )
3. Create the respective table in the database:
create table file_name_upload
id number,
file_name varchar2(20)
4. Load the data into temporary table
sqlldr test/test control=/home/oracle/sqlldr_test.ctl

Exporting USER along with data

Hi there,
Is it possible to export User along with data. I have 5 tables which belong to user DEVELOPER. I want to EXP this user with 5 tables.
When I run the IMP, it errors out saying USER does not exist.
I use like USERID=SYSTEM/MANAGER FULL=Y or I tried also with FROMUSER=DEVELOPER , TOUSER=DEVELOPER
I can get away from this error by pre-creating DEVELOPER user but what if I have 20 users with their data.
Is it possible that IMP will create user first and then import the data?
I am using Oracle 9i on Windows.
Thanks,

SQL*Loader to insert data file name during load

I'd like to use a single control file to load data from different files (at different times) to the same table. I'd like this table to have a column to hold the name of the file the data came from. Is there a way for SQL*Loader to automatically do this? (I.e., as opposed to running an update query separately.) I can edit the control file before each load to set a CONSTANT to hold the new data file name, but I'd like it to pick this up automatically.
Thanks for any help.
-- Harvey

Hello Harvey.
I've previously attempted to store a value into a global/local OS variable and use this within a SQL*Loader control file (Unix OS and Oracle versions between 7.3.4 and 10g). I was unsuccessful in each attempt and approach I could imagine. It was very easy to use a sed script to make a copy of the control file, changing a string within it to do this however.
Do you really want to store a file name on each and every record? Perhaps an alternative would be to use a relational model. Create a file upload log table that would store the file name and an upload # and then have the SQL*Loader control file call a function that would read that table for the most recent upload #. You'll save some disk space too.
Hope this helps,
Luke

Data Display table along with Graph

As per my knowledge we are not having any option currently for displaying data table along with graph.
This plot data table can have plot name along with current data.
See the sample below. Many times I need to display number of parameters on graph and current value need to see along with graph.
It will very useful if I get something like this in next version.

Hi chameli,
well, you gave the chart as an example to your question - but didn't specify your question any further!

How to show timestamp along with date in LOV dropdown

Hi,
We have a requirement to show timestamp along with date as a display column in a LOV drop down. Type of the date column in VVO is set to timestamp. But still it is showing only date in the UI.
But it is showing timestamp when we run it through AM. Is there any thing in to do in addition to display it in UI? Or it is not feasible? Please suggest me on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Santhosh

The date format displayed in UI depends on applcore preference set for current user, try changing date format set for current user to include time along with date.

Migrate SQL 2008 Analysis database to 2012 AS database along with data level security defined in current production cube

I want to migrate Analysis Services 2008 database to 2012 AS database along with data level security defined in current production cube
Note: Only Production environment have security, while no security is defined in development environment
Potential Approach:
1 - Using Synchronization Wizard: Gives me error : "The OLAP element at line1 can not appear under envelope......" and this is because Synchrinzation works only for same version
and in my case, there are different versions of SQL (SQL 2008 and 2012)
2 - Using Visual studio conversion wizard - Convert SQL 2008 AS project to 2012 and then process cube, so I can get the cube working but then how can I get data level security since 100's of data level security is defined in production Cube, so how can I
migrate that across
3 - Script out XMLA and deploy cube - But then again having issues with how can i script SSAS security
4 - Would taking backup of SSAS 2008 database and restore to SSAS 2012 will help ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Mihir

Hi Mihir,
According to your description, you want to migrate the SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2008 database which have some security setting with it to SSAS 2012, right? We can migrate existing Analysis Services databases either during Setup, by upgrading an
existing instance of Analysis Services, or after Setup, by running the Migration Wizard. Generally, when migrating a database to another server, all the setting will be migrated. So in your scenario, you can refer to the steps on the links below to migrate
your SSAS database.
