SQLLoader When clause

Hi,
I'm loading a csv file using a sqlloader.
this is the CTL:
OPTIONS ( DIRECT=FALSE,PARALLEL=TRUE, ERRORS=1000, BINDSIZE=50000, ROWS=5000, READSIZE=65536)
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8

   "ID_PARTITION" POSITION(1) INTEGER EXTERNAL "DECODE(:ID_PARTITION,671,2,1)",
   "ID_DATA" INTEGER EXTERNAL,
   "ID_TYPE_PROCESS" "2"
)I now need to change it a little to load records into "DW"."T_DATA_PROCESS" just when last field of the csv (the one I load into DIRECTION field of the "DW"."T_DATA_SUMMARY" table) is 1.
How should I build the WHEN clasue?
I tried WHEN (POSITION(15)="1") but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance!

And did you tried this
WHEN (DIRECTION = '1')Best regards

What's Oracle version.
What's your datafile looks like. Post a few sample line here.
when interface_record_type = '01'You didn't define interface_record_type in your when clause.

Any hint or help would be appreciated

## put this in a UTF8 file without delimiter and enclosure like
The basic question is how you put the characters into the file. Most probably, you produced a WE8MSWIN1252 file and not an UTF8 file. To confirm, a look at the binary codes in the file would be necessary. Use a hex-mode-capable editor. If the file is WE8MSWIN1252, and not UTF8, then the SQL*Loader control file should be:
LOAD DATA characterset WE8MSWIN1252
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
ID CHAR(1)

How to specify when clause in a database trigger

I would like to create a database trigger that only fires on database create statements. In particular, it only needs to fire when tables with a specific prefix fire.
I'd like to be able to specify something in the when clause along the lines of :
CREATE OR REPLACE
TRIGGER CAPTURE_STATS
     after CREATE ON rtrei.schema
     WHEN ( NEW.table_name like 'RT_FOO%' )
begin
add_stats_capture( :new.min_range, :new.max_range);
end;
It looks like I should be able to use a when as part of a database trigger, but I have no idea what new would be defined to be so that I could use it... perhaps it is an object and the clause would look something like
when (new.objecttype = 'TABLE' and new.name like 'RT_FOO%')?
Any ideas? I've searched through the docs, but have not been able to find anything relevant.
thanks very much,
Robin

You can use the WHEN clause with DDL triggers. You can move Todd's IF-THEN clause up into the WHEN clause.
See http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10795/adfns_ev.htm for all of the System-Defined Event Attributes.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER capture_stats
AFTER CREATE ON SCHEMA
WHEN (ora_dict_obj_type = 'TABLE' AND ora_dict_obj_name LIKE 'RT_FOO%')
BEGIN
        --Do whatever here.
END capture_stats;

How to use WHEN clause in sqlldr

I want to insert RECORDS in table which are having orgno column values greater then 100 in my datafile using sqlldr.
In WHEN clause in my control file if i mention WHEN (orgno > '100')
it gives me error :
Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters
WHEN (orgno < '500')
^
I am able to insert records when i use WHEN (orgno = '100') but not when i use > or < sign.
what to do???

Hello user8531525.
"The supported operators are equal (=) and not equal (!= or ne)"; replace the ne with less than and greater than signs. (http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/support/oracle/doc/10.2/server.102/b14215/ldr_control_file.htm)
Your filtering will need to be performed on the file itself or on the records after they are loaded. If your file is local to your database, consider using External Tables.

When clause in SQL Loader

hi,
i am facing a problem during when clause in sql loader
here is my control file
options(direct=true)
load data
infile 'data_file.txt'
truncate
into table "TABLE_NAME"
when col1 = '1'
trailing nullcols
col1 integer external TERMINATED BY ',',
col2 integer external )
into table "TABLE_NAME"
when col1 = '2'
trailing nullcols
col1 integer external TERMINATED BY ',' ,
col2 integer external )
=======================================
this file loads only data when col1=1 and does not load data when col1=2
can any body help me
thanks in advance

Hi,
I currently have the same problem. Seems that SQLLDR WHEN clause only apply for columns that based on datafile. Also, data that to be compared in WHEN clause is get from datafile and you can not make any modification on that data.
How did you do to work around with that?

Help on SQL Loader When Clause

I have 2 Oracle tables of exact same structure.
ENO NUMBER
PARENT NUMBER
CHILD NUMBER
ENAME VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
ADDRESS VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
CITY VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
SRCFILENAME VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
SDATE VARCHAR2 (400 Byte)
Current_Load VARCHAR2 (1 Byte)
Have a data file and a loader control file which loads data in these 2 tables.
I need to do a conditional load using a when clause.
Condition : when PARENT=CHILD, load in table 2 else load in table 1
My control file looks like this .
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'TEST_20120815.txt'
APPEND INTO TABLE test1
fields terminated by "|"
trailing nullcols
eno,
parent,
child,
ename,
address,
city ,
sdate "to_date(:sdate,'DD/MM/YYYY')",
SrcFileName,
col7 filler,
"Current_Load" constant 'Y'
INTO TABLE test2 when (parent=child)
fields terminated by "|"
trailing nullcols
eno position(1),
parent,
child,
ename,
address,
city ,
sdate "to_date(:sdate,'DD/MM/YYYY')",
SrcFileName,
col7 filler,
"Current_Load" constant 'Y'
) But this doesn't work. It works fine if I give direct value like PARENT='P'.
Any idea as how to compare the 2 fields while doing conditional load?

You cannot compare 2 fields with the WHEN clause in an SQL*Loader control file.
only literal values as defined by the syntax:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_control_file.htm#i1005657
As already suggested, you would be better to load your data using an external table where you can apply any conditions you want during your SQL query that is fetching the data.

SQL*LOADER, the WHEN clause and WILDCARDS

has anybody ever used wildcards in a WHEN clause in the SQL*LOADER control file?
WHEN string_2_load = 'GOOD' , all 'good' rows load
WHEN string_2_load = 'GO%', all rows fail the WHEN clause and end up in the discard file.
thanks in advance - if i don't go crazy first

SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 4.
Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters
WHEN average_balance < '100.00'
^
instead of '<' symbol if i place an '=' symbol then its workig fine.
So how do I use <, <=, > or >= operators in a WHEN clause of a control file can any one help me?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion but by searching in someother sites i found that
only equality operators ('=', '!=' or '<>') are permited in the WHEN clause expressions of a control file in SQL Loader.
So now i changed my logic.
thanks anyway.

SQL Loader to append data in same table but using differnet WHEN clauses

In my data file i have a header record and a detail record identified by Record_type = 1 and 2 respectively.
The Database table has all the columns to capture detail records but i want to capture jus one column of header record now also in my existing table. So i have added that column (DATA_DATE)in my table but how to capture that value ?
im writing my control file using two WHEN clauses, something like -
load data
into table t_bdn
append
when RECORD_TYPE = '2'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" TRAILING NULLCOLS
SEQUENCE_NO
, RECORD_TYPE
, DISTRIBUTOR_CODE
, SUPPLIER_CODE
, SUPPLIER_DISTRIBUTOR_CODE
, DISTRIBUTOR_SKU
, SUPPLIER_SKU
when RECORD_TYPE = '1'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" TRAILING NULLCOLS
SEQUENCE_NO FILLER
, RECORD_TYPE FILLER
, CREATE_DATE FILLER
, DATA_DATE "NVL(to_date(:DATA_DATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD'),to_date('9999/12/31', 'YYYY/MM/DD'))"
im getting error " expecting INTO and foung WHEN RECORD_TYPE = '1' "
if i give iNTO second time it will append a new row altogether in my table but i want the same row to be updated with this DATA_DATE value coming from RECORD_TYPE =1 and header record has 4 delimited data text fields only and i am interested in fetching just the 4th column..
KIndly suggest what to do ?

Ravneek, I could be wrong but sqlldr is a 'load' program, that is, it inserts data. I am unaware of any ability to update existing rows as you seem to want. What you appear to want to do is more the job of a merge statement.
I would look at writing a pro* language, a .net, or a java program to perform inserts where some or all of the newly inserted rows are also to be updated.
From the manual: (Oracle® Database Utilities 10g Release 2 (10.2) Part Number B14215-01)
Updating Existing Rows
The REPLACE method is a table replacement, not a replacement of individual rows. SQL*Loader does not update existing records, even if they have null columns. To update existing rows, use the following procedure:
1. Load your data into a work table.
2. Use the SQL language UPDATE statement with correlated subqueries.
3. Drop the work table.

SQL Loader / WHEN clause / swich off? / bloated log files

Hallo everyone,
I am loading data from very large source files using SQL-Loader. This all works fine.
However, now, using the WHEN clause (in the control file), I would like to load only a very restricted sub-set of the main data. This also works fine ...
WHEN ARTICLECODE != '000000000000006769'
However, the log file becomes completely bloated with messages telling me of each record which has failed the WHEN clause ...
Record 55078: Discarded - failed all WHEN clauses.
This is becoming a problem because it slows down the process and creates bloated log files which are eating up my disk-space.
There must be a simple command to allow me to switch off thiese messages but, although I have googled on it, I haven't managed to find it.
Any ideas on this one? I'm sure it's simple.
Regards and many thanks,
Alan Searle

Sqlldr WHEN clause with function call ?

I have a requirement to load data from a file with each row being checked for good data.
But that check is wrapped inside a function, as it is somewhat complex.
So I woul like to load the data with a WHEN clause like this
WHEN ( "CHECK_IF_GOOD(:field1, :field2,.. )" = '1' )
But sqlldr compains that column CHECK_IF_GOOD(:field1, :field2,.. ) is not present in tableA
Obviously sqlldr thought CHECK_IF_GOOD(:field1, :field2, ) to be a column name.
Is there any work around for this problem

The quotes and colons are not shown in the documentation for the when clause.

I do not know if you can invoke your own function in the Loader operation.

When Clause with FIELDS TERMINATED BY and TRAILING NULLCOLS option?

Dear all
If i have the following datafields:
E;15;
D;14;16;
E;18;
to load into table tab1 (Type_ligne VARCHAR2(1),
Nombre1 NUMBER(2),
Nombre2 NUMBER(2))
Is it possible to have the following control file :
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE Tab1
when (1) ='E'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(Type_Ligne CHAR,
Nombre1 INTEGER EXTERNAL)
INTO TABLE Tab1
when (1) ='D'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(Type_Ligne CHAR,
Nombre1 INTEGER EXTERNAL,
Nombre2 INTEGER EXTERNAL)
If no! please show me the correct syntax.

Yes, you can, but for each WHEN clause after the first one, you have to specify the starting position for the first field, as shown in bold below.
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE Tab1
when (1) ='E'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(Type_Ligne CHAR,
Nombre1 INTEGER EXTERNAL)
INTO TABLE Tab1
when (1) ='D'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(Type_Ligne POSITION(1) CHAR,
Nombre1 INTEGER EXTERNAL,
Nombre2 INTEGER EXTERNAL)
