Utility to convert ASE fmt files to ctl files for sql*loader

Does anyone have a utility to convert bcp format files to oracle ctl files for use with sql*loader?

Hi,
The Oracle Migration Workbench will produce both BCP and the equivalent Oracle .ctl files for all tables in a database.
Regards
John

If you run DAC on a 64-bit windows Operating System, you must create the ODBC data source using the ODBC Administrator tool in %windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. for creating the data warehouse tables.
If helps pls mark

Concatenate positions in control file for sql*loader utility.

Is there a way to concatenate several character positions in a control file for sql*loader???
example... field1 position(1:3) || position(5:7) ????
I would rather not create any unnecessary temp tables for a straight load...

How about...
/code
field1 position(1:7) char "substr(:field1, 1, 3) || substr(:field1, 5)"

i need to skip first field of the data file.

Changing the File path for SQL Loader Recognition

I am learning how to create a control file. The names.ctl file was placed in "Names" folder in my "C:\Windows" file.
I get the following error when trying to run the script for sqlldr:
Sql*Loader-500 Unable to open file.
Sql*Loader-553 file not found
Sql*Loader-System error: the system cannot find the specified file.
The path on the folder in c:\Windows\names\names.ctl
How do I make SQL Loader recognize it?

Pl post details of OS and database versions. Have you tried this ?
sqlldr CONTROL=c:\Windows\names\names.ctl ...HTH

Insert data file name into table from sql loader

Hi All,
I have a requirement to insert the data file name dynamically into table using sql loader.
Example:
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test_ctl.ctl data=test_data.dat
test_ctl.ctl
LOAD DATA
FILED TERMINATED BY ','
INTO TABLE test
(empid number,
ename varchar2(20),
file_name varchar2(20) ---------- This should be the data file name which can be dynamic (coming from parameter)
test_data.dat
1,test
2,hello
3,world
4,end
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Anuj

you'll probably have to write your control file on the fly, using a .bat or .sh file
rem ===== file : test.bat ========
rem
rem ============== in pseudo speak =============
rem
rem
echo LOAD DATA > test.ctl
echo FILED TERMINATED BY ',' >> test.ctl
echo INTO TABLE test >> test.ctl
echo (empid number, >> test.ctl
echo ename varchar2(20), >> test.ctl
echo file_name constant %1% >> test.ctl
echo ) >> test.ctl
rem
rem
rem
sqlldr userid=username/passwword@host_string control=test.ctl data=test_data.dat
rem =============== end of file test.bat =======================

Could you guys please help me in writing the controller file to read the data from file and populate the table as described above. Thanks.

It is a little hard to tell exactly what your data file looks like and what you want your results to be, due to this forum mangling things a bit and adding extra lines and such. In general you can either use CONTINUEIF or CONCATENATE. I have demonstrated both below. When using CONTINUEIF, it assumes each additional line begins with the word "Permanent". When using CONCATENATE, it assumes each two lines constitutes one record. I have also used REPLACE to add a line feed in front of "Permanent", after it is removed during continuation or concatenation.

Hi All,
I have an XML file as below. I need to insert the contents into a temporary staging table using sql loader. Please advice how I need to do that.
For example Portfolios should go into a seperate table, and all the tags inside it should be populated in the columns of the table.
Family should go into a seperate table and all the tags inside it should be populated in the columns of the table.

Two options that come to mind. Others exist.
#1 - {thread:id=474031}, which is basically storing the XML in an Object Relational structure for parsing
#2 - Dump the XML into either an XMLType based table or column and use SQL (with XMLTable) to create a view that parses the data. This would be the same as the view shown in the above post.
Don't use sql*loader to parse the XML. I was trying to find a post from mdrake about that but couldn't. In short, sql*loader was not build as an XML parser so don't try to use it that way.

Control file for SQL*Loader

Hello,
I have the following file (2 line) which I want to intend in an oracle database with the SQL*Loader.
tommy050+3423
tom 070-0006
The file consists of two lines and three columns.
Column1 has always 5 digits and is a String. Additional empty digits will be filled with blanks. Here: tommy and tom
Column2 has three digits and is a number. Here: 050 and 070.
Column 3 is also a number and consists of four digits. Additionally there is a fifth digit for the leading sign ("+" or "-"). Here: +3423 and -0006.
This file I want to import in my table MyTab.
MyTab(
     thing          VARCHAR2(5)
     number     NUMBER(3)
     amount     NUMBER
How would the control file for the SQL*Loader look like for this example?
Regards
Homer

This is a start (untested)
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'sample.dat'
    BADFILE 'sample.bad'
    DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE MyTab
      ( thing POSITION(1:5) CHAR ,
       NUMBER    POSITION(6:8) INTEGER,
       amount POSITION(9:12) INTEGER )Can you have a column named number?

OWB 10gR2 : How to configure ctl and log locations for Sql*Loader mappings?

Hi all,
I'm using OWB 10gR2 to load data in tables with Sql*Loader mappings.
In my project I have a datafile module and an Oracle module.
When creating an sql*loader mapping in the oracle module, there is two properties for this mappings that I want to modify. The first is Control File Location and the second is Log File Location. Values for those properties are equal to the data file module location. When trying to change those values I can only chose "Use module configuration location".
Somebody knows how to configure those properties with different locations as the one of the flat file module?
What I want to do is to store the data file in one directory, and control file and log file in other directories.
Thank you for your help.
Bernard

Hi,
You're right, my problem is that the dropdown only show the location associated with the flat file location even if I have other file locations created in the design repository.
The good news is that I have found the solution to solve the problem :
1) Edit the file module and in tab "Data locations", add the locations you want to use for control file and log file.
2) Open configuration window of the mapping and then the dropdown for properties Control File Location and Log File Location show new locations
I have tested my mapping after changing those properties and it's working.

Looking for SQL*Loader sample file

Hi all,
I'm looking for a sample SQL*Loader file that I could use to populate the Bank Statement Interface in Cash Management (Receivables Lockbox Receipts) - specifically CE_STATEMENT_HEADERS_INT_ALL and CE_STATEMENT_LINES_INTERFACE.
I'm trying to put together an interface from Bank of America's Lockbox into our Oracle Receivables system (11.0.3), and don't have access to anything from which to start from.
Thanks in Advance,
Cam

Loading from multiple flat files to same table using SQL Loader

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone please brief me the pros and cons of kicking of multiple sql loader sessions that reads multiple flat files but inserting it into just one table.
The table is not partitioned. Avg record counts for each flat file is about 5-6 million.
Oracle 11g,
OS: Linux

Pros -> Faster loading of more data
Cons -> Potential performance degradation
Test to see how much resource consuming this task would be and do a priority comparison of that multi-multi load task with other stuff that will be happening in the database in the multi-multi load time so you could decide how to share resources in that time.

Sharepoint Online - File Associations - Create association for .sql files in SPO365

I maintain a document library as a script repository with .sql scripts. we refer to these often for operational processes.
unfortunately, we are currently only given the option to download these files from SharePoint Online.
Is it possible to create an association in SharePoint Online to have these files preview as text or to at least open them in SSMS or Notepad.
caveat = we dont want to change the default OS association for these files. SSMS is fine for the desktop, but in SPO365 a text viewer would be ideal as it would most easlily facilitate a copy and paste.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, when you removed the Read List and Read Item operations and created them back based off of the view and recreated the external list, you saw all the columns you wanted.
Then you can modify view to choose the columns which you want to display.
The issue is, now the item picker and other operations that did not change seem to be going off of the view.
Do you mean that when you add/edit the item, it still displays the foreign key column in the list view?
