Using Sqlldr to load VARRAYs!!!!!!!

HI,
I've created a collection type within the database the description of which reads as follows.....
SQL> desc LISTVARCHAR
LISTVARCHAR VARRAY(200) OF VARCHAR2(4000)
But when I try to insert a value of more than 255 characters using sqlldr, it seems to fail giving the following message, but works fine from within sqlplus!
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table TESTER, column COL1.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length
****** Sample Data:
|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV|
Shouldn't this Column take as many as 4000 characters for each element within that VARRAY? Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
Thanks a lot for your time
Chandra M.

Using sqlldr to load XML files and the file name ? or access the file name

I can use sqlldr to load the XML files when I declare the target table of XMLTYPE, but I need to load the filename and a sequence also with the XML in a table so we can mark wether the file passed validation or not.
something like ....
Create table test1
lobfn varchar(200),
load_number number,
XML_COL XMLTYPE
--------------- here is my sqlldr command
sqlldr xml_user/xml_user load_test1.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE test1
append
xmltype(XML_COL)
lobfn FILLER char TERMINATED by ',',
XML_COL LOBFILE(lobfn) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
filename1.xml
filename2.xml
filename64.xml
sqlldr comes back and says "commit point reached - logical record count 64
but when I select count(*) from test1; it returns 0 rows.
and when I
SELECT X.* FROM tst1 P2,
XMLTable ( '//XMLRoot//APPLICATION'
PASSING P2.XML_COL
COLUMNS
"LASTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'LASTNAME',
"FIRSTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'FIRSTNAME'
) AS X;
It tells me invalid identifier ,
Do I need to use a function to get the XML_COL as a object_value ???
But when I create the table like
create table test1 of XMLTYPE;
and use sqlldr it works, but I dont have the file name, or dont know how to access it ??
and I can use
SELECT X.* FROM tst1 P2,
XMLTable ( '//XMLRoot//APPLICATION'
PASSING P2.object_value
COLUMNS
"LASTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'LASTNAME',
"FIRSTNAME" CHAR(31) PATH 'FIRSTNAME'
) AS X;

BTW
Here's a trivial example of what you appear to be trying to do..

Using SQLLDR to load files

I guess this is kind of a newbie question, so sorry in advance, but I can't figure this out from the documentation.
I would like to use SQLLDR to load a series of files (a.txt, b.txt, c.txt, for example) to a CLOB. I want one file per row as each one is a separate document. I want everything in the file loaded up until EOF, then I want to move on to the next file.
It sounds fairly simple, but so far I haven't been very successful. Could anyone post an example control file.
Thanks.

Use DBMS_LOB.LoadFromFile to do this (files must be accesible from the Oracle server to do this).

Using sqlldr to load CLOB data from DB2

I am stuck trying to resolve this problem. I am migrating data from DB2 to Oracle. I used DB2 export to extract the data specifying lobsinfile clause. This created all the CLOB data in one file. So a typical record has a column with a reference to the CLOB data. "OUTFILE.001.lob.0.2880/". where OUTFILE.001.lob is the name specified in the export command and 0 is the starting position in the file and 2880 is the length of the first CLOB.
When I try to load this data using sqlldr I'm getting a file not found.
The control file looks something like this:
clob_1 FILLER char(100),
"DETAILS" LOBFILE(clob_1) TERMINATED BY EOF,
I'm using Oracle 11gR2 and DB2 9.7.5
Your help is appreciated.

OK..here are additional details. Some names have changed but the idea is the same. Also the sqlldr is executing in the same directory as the data files and the control file
Primary data file is VOIPCACHE.dat Secondary datafile (file with lob data) is VOIPCACHE.001.lob

Using sqlldr to load old UNIFY data into oracle 11g

I have a dump of an old UNIFY database whitch I need to build a controlfile to import to oracle using sql loader.
the main problem is that the file is containing records for 64 tables
the dumpfile is starting with the name of the table, and then data for each column in that table. like this:
RSLT|0|26/09/2005|1281|2|LD|S1|0|0| 223|223.000000|Centra|27/09/2005|10:13|Centra|27/09/2005|10:13|3|0|3984|180|24069844193|379650048|247075485|134233305|0|

I have build the ny datamodel in oracle, and it is the same as in the old UNIFY system. so that is not a problem.
but HOW do I tell sqlldr that there is not data from just one table but 64..??
the tablenames and how to difference them is the main problem..
This is an urgent issue.. I need helt fast.
any suggestions?

Have anyone can help me? Thanks

I've seen folks work around similar problems by temporarily changing their NLS parameters (warning: you probably don't want to do this on a heavily used or production system). I know you said you changed them, but it might be worth another try.
On NT save the registry entry for NLS_LANG. I think it is at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->ORACLE->KEY_YOURORACLEHOME
Make the NLS_LANG registry value AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Restart the database.
Load the data
Reset the registry entry
Restart the database.

Getting ORA-22805 when trying to load XML file using SQLLDR

This is what's in the control file:

The load fails with:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table PURCHASEORDER.
ORA-22805: cannot insert NULL object into object tables or nested tables
Another question I have is, how do we know how many records (0's) to specify in the control file? In this case there's only one but when real files are used we won't know how many are in the file.
Thanks for your help!

The concept was "Don't use SQL*Loader to parse XML".
You can use SQL*Loader to load an entire XML document into the DB. That is fine. You can do the same via BFILENAME to read in files from disk as well.
If you want to parse XML, do that from within Oracle via PL/SQL and/or SQL. The solution depends upon your version of Oracle and what is good enough for you in terms of performance.
So the basics are
a) How am I getting the information?
b) How am I getting in into Oracle?
c) How do I want to parse it?
As I see the schema, it only allows for one ipo:purchaseOrder node in the document, since that is the root node. If you have multiple in the incoming file, you no longer have valid XML, both per the schema and because you have no single root node. You have an XML fragment, which must be treated different.
Just trying to understand the question since I now realize it does not agree with what the schema in your initial example shows.

Loading a table from multiple input files using sqlldr

Hi,
For my project i need to load into a table by joining two input files using sqlldr. For example,
I have a file1, which has values
name,salary,ssn
and file2 which has values for
ssn,location,country
now i need to load these values into a table say employee_information by joining both input files. both input files can be joined using ssn as common field.
Any idea how to do this??
Thanks in advance
Satya.

Hi,
What is the size of the files. If possible mail me the sample files, And the structure of table. Is the <ssn> from first file and second will have seperate columns in the table or we have to merge it.

Load Multiple Table using SQLLDR

Hi,
We are trying to Load Multiple Table using SQLLDR in same loading session.
Here's a snippet of our script:
LOAD DATA INFILE '/u07/dd/yyyy_mm_dd.dat'
append INTO TABLE table1
WHEN STORE_NO != ' '
STORE_NO position(1:5) ,
TR_DATE position(6:27) DATE "mm/dd/yy
truncate INTO TABLE table2
WHEN STORE_NO != ' '
STORE_NO position(1:5) ,
TR_DATE position(6:27) DATE "mm/dd/yy
Now upon execution this gives an error saying truncate shouldn't be present before 2nd INTO Clause. The script runs fine if we do same operation say Append / Replcae / Truncate on both tables. My Question here is can we have SQLLDR perform two diff operations (Append & Truncate in our case) in one session?
Thanks
Chinmay

No.
did you read the syntax diagram and the paragraph below:
"When you are loading a table, you can use the INTO TABLE clause to specify a table-specific loading method (INSERT, APPEND, REPLACE, or TRUNCATE) that applies only to that table. That method overrides the global table-loading method. The global table-loading method is INSERT, by default, unless a different method was specified before any INTO TABLE clauses."

Loading Using SQLLDR

Hi
I am loading text data in to 10g using sqlldr utility, but rows having some null values fields cannot loaded.
So i want to load these rows as well. plz help me in this situation.
regards!

Please take a look at
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:533222350291
It should work with this loader contol file:
load data
infile 'c:\loading\cases.txt'
insert into table cfmis.loading
fields terminated by X'9'
optionally enclosed by '"'
trailing nullcols
(sno integer external,caseno integer external,caseyear char,instdate date 'DD-MM-YY',title char)
{code}
Also you should take a look at your table constraints (not null).

Do you need to uncomment one of the header() functions? Make sure
it is called before any text or whitespace is sent.

Using sqlldr when source data column is 4000 chars

I'm trying to load some data using sqlldr.
The table looks like this:
col1 number(10) primary key
col2 varchar2(100)
col3 varchar2(4000)
col4 varchar2(10)
col5 varchar2(1)
... and some more columns ...
For current purposes, I only need to load columns col1 through col3. The other columns will be NULL.
The source text data looks like this (tab-delimited) ...
col1-text<<<TAB>>>col2-text<<<TAB>>>col3-text
more-col3-text
more-col3-text
more-col3-text
more-col3-text
more-col3-text
END-OF-RECORD
There's nothing special about the source data for col1 and col2.
But the data for col3 is (usually) much longer than 4000 chars, so I just need to truncate it to fit varchar2(4000), right?
The control file looks like this ...
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'load.dat' "str 'END-OF-RECORD'"
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE my_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "\t"
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
col1 "trim(:col1)",
col2 "trim(:col2)",
col3 char(10000) "substr(:col3,1,4000)"
I made the column 3 specification char(10000) to allow sqlldr to read text longer than 4000 chars.
And the subsequent directive is meant to truncate it to 4000 chars (to fit in the table column).
But I get this error ...
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table COL3.
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
The only solution I found was ugly.
I changed the control file to this ...
col3 char(4000) "substr(:col3,1,4000)"
And then I hand-edited (truncated) the source data for column 3 to be shorter than 4000 chars.
Painful and tedious!
Is there a way around this difficulty?
Note: I cannot use a CLOB for col3. There's no option to change the app, so col3 must remain varchar2(4000).

You can load the data into a staging table with a clob column, then insert into your target table using substr, as demonstated below. I have truncated the data display to save space.
