Unknown issue while loading .dbf file by sql loader

Hi guys,
I am having a unknown issue while loading .dbf file by sql loader.
I need to load .dbf data into oracle table.for this I converted .dbf file by just changing its extension as .csv . file structure after changing .dbf to .csv --

No database version of course. Unimportant.
If I recall correctly, it is 'integer external ' and you would best double quoting the alphanumerics (which you didn't ).
Try changing integer in integer external in the ctl file.

Problem loading XML-file using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I'm using 9.2 and tryin to load a XML-file using SQL*Loader.
Loader control-file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE BATCH_TABLE TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
FILENAME char(255),
XML_DATA LOBFILE (FILENAME) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
data.xml
The BATCH_TABLE is created as:
CREATE TABLE BATCH_TABLE (
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (50),
XML_DATA SYS.XMLTYPE ) ;
And the data.xml contains the following lines:
<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">
<batch>
<record>
<data>
<type>10</type>
</data>
</record>
<record>
<data>
<type>20</type>
</data>
</record>
</batch>
However, the sqlldr gives me an error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table BATCH_TABLE, column XML_DATA.
ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
If I remove the first two lines
"<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
and
"<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">"
from data.xml everything works, and the contentents of data.xml are loaded into the table.
Any idea what I'm missing here? Likely the problem is with special characters.
Thanks in advance,

I'm able to load your file just by removing the second line <!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">. I dont have your dtd file, so skipped that line. Can you check if it's problem with ur DTD?

please help me how can i load full xml into single column using command line without hardcoding in control file
Edited by: 907010 on Jan 10, 2012 2:24 AM

but strangely it's trying to load each line of xml file into table instead of whole fileNothing strange, the data parameter specifies the file containing the data to load.
If you use the XML filename here, the control file will try to interpret each line of the XML as being separate file paths.
The traditional approach to this is to have the filename stored in another file, say filelist.txt and use, for example :
echo "/u01/APPL/apps/apps_st/appl/xxtop/12.0.0/bin/file.xml" > filelist.txt
sqlldr $1@$TWO_TASK control=$XXTOP/bin/LOAD_XML.ctl data=filelist.txt direct=true;

Need suggestions on loading 5000+ files using sql loader

Hi Guys,
I'm writing a shell script to load more than 5000 files using sql loader.
My intention is to load the files in parallel. When I checked the maximum number of sessions in v$parameter, it is around 700.
Before starting the data load, programmatically I am getting the number of current sessions and maximum number of sessions and keeping free 200 sessions without using them (max. no. of sessions minus 200 ) and utilizing the remaining ~300 sessions to load the files in parallel.
Also I am using a "wait" option to make the shell to wait until the 300 concurrent sql loader process to complete and moving further.
Is there any way to make it more efficient? Also is it possible to reduce the wait time without hard coding the seconds (For Example: If any of those 300 sessions becomes free, assign the next file to the job queue and so on..)
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thanks.

My intention is to load the files in parallel. When I checked the maximum number of sessions in v$parameter, it is around 700. Concurrent load you mean? Parallel processing implies take a workload, breaking that up into smaller workloads, and doing that in parallel. This is what the Parallel Query feature does in Oracle.
SQL*Loader does not do that for you. It uses a single session to load a single file. To make it run in parallel, requires manually starting multiple loader sessions and perform concurrent loads.
Have a look at Parallel Data Loading Models in the Oracle® Database Utilities guide. It goes into detail on how to perform concurrent loads. But you need to parallelise that workload yourself (as explained in the manual).

Also is it possible to reduce the wait time without hard coding the seconds (For Example: If any of those 300 sessions becomes free, assign the next file to the job queue and so on..)Consider doing it the way that Parallel Query does (as I've mentioned above). Take the workload (all files). Break the workload up into smaller sub-workloads (e.g. 50 files to be loaded by a process). Start a 100 processes in parallel and provide each one with a sub-workload to do (100 processes each loading 50 odd files).
This is a lot easier to manage than starting for example a 5000 load processes and then trying some kind of delay method to ensure that not all hit the database at the same time.
I'm loading about 100+ files (3+ million rows) every 60 seconds 24x7 using SQL*Loader. Oracle is quite scalable and SQL*Loader quite capable.

Loading huge file with Sql-Loader from Java

Hi,
I have a csv file with aprox. 3 and a half million records.
I load this data with sqlldr from within java like this:
           String command = "sqlldr userid=" + user + "/" + pass
                    + "@" + service + " control='" + ctlFile + "'";
            System.out.println(command);
            if (System.getProperty("os.name").contains("Windows")) {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C " + command);
            } else {
                p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh -c " + command);
            }it does what I want to, load the data to a certain table, BUT it takes too much time, Is there a faster way to load data to an oracle db from within java?
Thanks, any advice is very welcome

Loading multiple files with SQL Loader

Hello.
I will appreciate your recommendation about the way to load multiple files (to multiple tables) using SQL Loader with only one Control file.
file1 to load to Table1, file2 to load to Table2 etc.
How the Control file should look like?
I was looking on Web, but didn't find exactly what I need.
Thanks!

Loading XML file using sql*loader (10g)

Hi Everyone....
I have a major problem. I have a 10g database and I need to use sql loader to load a large XML file into the database. This file contains records for many, many customers. This will be done several times and the number of records will vary. I want to use sql loader and load to a staging table, BUT SPLIT THE RECORDS OUT and add a sequence. I am having 2 problems.
In the 10g documentation, when you want to split the records you use the BEGINDATA clause and indicate something (like a 0) for each instance of a record. Well my first file has 3,722 records in it. How do I know the number of records in each XML file?
The second problem is that because this is XML, I thought that I could use ENCLOSED BY. But the start tag has an attribute /counter in it, sql*loader doesnt recognize the starting tag. (i.e.: start tag is: </CustomerRec number=1>
end tag is: </CustomerRec> )
So, I used TERMINATED BY '</CustomerRec>'. This will split out the records, but it will NOT include the ending tag of </CustomerRec> and when I use extract, I receive an XML parsing error.
I have tried to get the ending tag using CONTINUEIF and SKIP. But those options are for "records" and not lines.
Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 problems above. I am at my wits end and I need to finish this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry.... here is an example of what my control file looks like. At the end, I have 92 "0", but remember, I have 3722 records in this first file.

Problem with loading file with SQL loader

i am getting a problem with loading a file with SQL loader. The loading is getting
terminated after around 2000 rows whereas there are around 2700000 rows in the file.
The file is like
919879086475,11/17/2004,11/20/2004
919879698625,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
919879698628,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
the control file, i am using is like:-
load data
infile 'c:\ran\temp\pps_fc.txt'
into table bm_05oct06
fields terminated by ","
(mobile_no, fcal, frdate )
I hope, my question is clear. Please help, in solving the doubt.
regards.

So which thread is telling the truth?
Doubt with SQL loader file wih spaces
Are the fields delimited with spaces or with commas?
Perhaps they are a mixture of delimiters and that is where the error is coming in?

Issue while loading a csv file using sql*loader...

Hi,
I am loading a csv file using sql*loader.
On the number columns where there is data populated in them, decimal number/integers, the row errors out on the error -
ORA-01722: invalid number
I tried checking the value picking from the excel,
and found the chr(13),chr(32),chr(10) values characters on the value.
ex: select length('0.21') from dual is giving a value of 7.
When i checked each character as
select ascii(substr('0.21',5,1) from dual is returning a value 9...etc.
I tried the following command....
"to_number(trim(replace(replace(replace(replace(:std_cost_price_scala,chr(9),''),chr(32),''),chr(13),''),chr(10),'')))",
to remove all the non-number special characters. But still facing the error.
Please let me know, any solution for this error.
Thanks in advance.

The load errors out on especially two columns :

both are number columns.
And when there is data being provided on them. It errors out. But, if they are holding null values, the records go through fine.

Load multiple records in 1 table from 1 line in text file w/sql loader

hi guys,
quick question, perhaps someone can help. searched around and didn't see this question asked before, and can't find any answer in SQL Loader faqs or docs.
i know i can extract multiple logical records from a single physical record in the input file as two logical records, and then use two into tables clauses to load the data into the table. see oracle 9i sql loader control file reference chapter 5 to see what i am talking about.
but my question follows:
cust_id amount1_val amount1_qual amount2_val amount2_qual amount3_val amount3_qual
123 1500.35 TA 230.34 VZ 3045.50 TW
basically i want to use one sql loader statement to load these 3 records into 1 table. the issue for me is that i need to re-use the cust_id for all 3 records as the key, along with the qualifier code. the example in the Oracle docs only works for data where the logical records are completely separate -- no shared column values.
i'm sure this is possible, perhaps using some :cust_id type parameter for the 2nd and 3rd records, or something, but i just don't have enough knowledge/experience with sql loader to know what to do. appreciate any help.
wayne

Hi wayne,
I found an example on what exactly you were looking for from an SQL*Loader documentation. Please see if it of some help to you
EXAMPLE
The control file is ULCASE5.CTL.
1234 BAKER 10 9999 101
1234 JOKER 10 9999 777
2664 YOUNG 20 2893 425
5321 OTOOLE 10 9999 321
2134 FARMER 20 4555 236
2414 LITTLE 20 5634 236
6542 LEE 10 4532 102
2849 EDDS xx 4555
4532 PERKINS 10 9999 40
1244 HUNT 11 3452 665
123 DOOLITTLE 12 9940
1453 MACDONALD 25 5532
In the above datafile
Column1 - Empno
Column2 - ENAME
Column3 - Depno.
Column4 - MGR
Column5 - Proj no.
-- Loads EMP records from first 23 characters
-- Creates and loads PROJ records for each PROJNO listed
-- for each employee
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'ulcase5.dat'
BADFILE 'ulcase5.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'ulcase5.dsc'
1) REPLACE
2) INTO TABLE emp
(empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
ename POSITION(6:15) CHAR,
deptno POSITION(17:18) CHAR,
mgr POSITION(20:23) INTEGER EXTERNAL)
2) INTO TABLE proj
(empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
3) projno POSITION(25:27) INTEGER EXTERNAL) -- 1st proj
Notes:
REPLACE specifies that if there is data in the tables to be loaded (EMP and PROJ), SQL*loader should delete the data before loading new rows.
Multiple INTO clauses load two tables, EMP and PROJ. The same set of records is processed three times, using different combinations of columns each time to load table PROJ.

Not loading from flat file using SQL*Loader

Hi,
I am trying to load from an excel file.
first i converted excel file into csv file and save it as as dat file.
in the excel file one column is salary and the data is like $100,000
while converting xls to csv the salary is changed to "$100,000 " (with quotes and a space after the amount)
after the last digit it will put a space.
in the control file of sql*loader i had given
salary "to_number('L999,999')"
my problem is the space after the salary in the dat file.---> "$100,000 "
what changes i have to make in the to_number function which is in the control file.
Please guide me.
Thanks & Regards

Upload Multiple files in SQL * Loader in one session

Dear all,
I want to upload multiple files using SQL*Loader in one go. In Unix its very easy as I have a quite experience of that. Could any body tell what is a way in Windows to upload multiple files in one go while using SQL * Loader. I want to run that using DOS's Batch file.
Thanks
Ghulam

In Unix its very easy like we are putting $ sign.
sqlldr userid=?????/?????
control="/u12/cad_delta.ctl",log="/u12/full_extract/$1",data="/u12/$1",bad="/u12//full_extract/$1",errors=500,silent=feedback
Suggest for Windows? It should read all .DAT files of the Windows Folder.
Thanks

Can I have two Data Files in One control file of sql*loader tool

hi,
Can someone help me out. is it possible to have two Data Files in one control file of Sql*loader.
And isit possible to run 10,000 records before lunch and 10,000 records before tea and 10,000 records before evening session by giving breaks after every 10,000 records.
Thanks

Yes. You can specify two datafiles in one control file and can load using sql loader.
I give you the sample control file.
Load DATA
INFILE 'TEST1.CSV'
INFILE 'TEST2.CSV'
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TEST_P
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COL_1,
COL_2,
COL_n)
Hope It will help you.

Issue while uploading .TIFF file into Standard text using RSTXLDMC

Hi All,
We are facing issues while uploading .TIFF file into standard text through program RSTXLDMC.
Getting the following error.
TIFF format error: No baseline TIFF 6.0 file.
The image is a colored one.
Please provide me solution if anyone has worked in this area.
Thanks in Advance,
Anand Raj Kuruba.

Hi,
Often this error occurs because the TIFF file you have has been saved with some form of compression. You need to open in a picture edit program and save as TIFF making sure options are set so there is no compression.
