I am trying to insert data from csv to a table using sql loader.
My csv has data in small Caps .But I want the data in the table to be in Large cap for some columns For some Columns it should be InitCap.
INFILE 'abc.csv'
INSERT INTO TABLE T_DETAILS
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
INITCAP(f_name),
UPPER(f_code)```
But i am getting error like
> **SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 16. Expecting "," or ")", found "(".
> INITCAP(f_name),**
> ^
You can, but not like that. Should've been
load data
infile 'abc.csv'
insert
into table t_details
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"' trailing nullcols
(f_name "initcap(:f_name)",
f_code "upper(:f_code)"
)

I have a file which i want to load using sql loader.the sample file is as follows.
1|Deepak|1|raj|Kumar|mcapatna|powerhouse
the control file is
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE Student WHEN (1:1)= '1'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
nickName1 position(6) NULLIF nickName1=BLANKS ,
nickName2 NULLIF nickName2=BLANKS ,
class CONSTANT '10',
Address CONSTANT 'NA'
)
The output what i want is nickName1=mcapatna nickName=powerhouse class=10 & Address=NA.
I am getting the value for nickName1=pak & for nickName2= 1
That means it is counting based on sequence of single characters..
The control file is in data file field order. To skip the fields in the data file you do not want, you need to "consume" them by defining them as FILLER.
...
(
skip_1 FILLER,
skip_2 FILLER,
skip_3 FILLER,
skip_4 FILLER,
skip_5 FILLER,
nickname1,
nickname2,
class CONSTANT '10',
Address CONSTANT 'NA'
)
See this fairly recent post for more info: Skipping data fields while loading delimited data using SQLLDR
By adding position(6) in your ctl file, it starts at position 6 till the next |. So pak is the expected value. If you remove position(6), it will start on position 1 automaticly.
I guess something like this, would do the job (this is not tested but gives you a direction):
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE Student
FIELDS OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
( nickName1 CHAR NULLIF nickName1=BLANKS TERMINATED BY "|"
, nickName2 CHAR NULLIF nickName2=BLANKS TERMINATED BY "|"
, class CHAR CONSTANT '10' TERMINATED BY "|",
, Address CONSTANT 'NA' TERMINATED BY "|"
)
My ctl file:
OPTIONS (ERRORS=50000000, SKIP=1, DIRECT=true )
LOAD DATA
INFILE '\\*****path******\TAT_OUTPUTS\AMINET\1\1.csv'
BADFILE'\\********path***********\1_BAD.csv'
DISCARDFILE'\\***********path************\1_DSC.csv'
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE MY_TABLE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(A , B, ....
My input csv file looks like
A|B
test|0
I am getting the following error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table MY_TABLE, column B.
ORA-01722: invalid number
If I remove the DIRECT=true flag from the ctl file options. I am not getting the above error. I need DIRECT flag and so can't remove it.
How can I solve this?
Friends,
I have had a client data sent to me in that is requested to have fields terminated by '|'
Problem is, some of the filed values also have the "|" as a character that we need to preserve.
Problem rows in my datafile look like this (the '|' in the addres "1|34-36 ..." is the issue)
ID | Address |UPDATEDATE
1423 | 1|34-36 White Street |02/01/199
my .ctl looks like this
options(errors=1000)
load data
into table client_address APPEND
fields terminated by '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
If all fields in data file are width-aligned, you could use this .ctl file:
load data
into table client_address APPEND
fields terminated by '~'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
line BOUNDFILLER,
ID "to_number(trim(substr(:line,1,8)))",
Address "trim(substr(:line,10,26))",
UPDATEDATE "to_date(trim(substr(:line,37)),'mm/dd/yyyy')"
)
EDIT :
If fields are not width-aligned, but Address is the only field which can contain '|' char inside, then use this .ctl file
load data
into table client_address APPEND
fields terminated by '~'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
line BOUNDFILLER,
ID "to_number(trim(regexp_substr(:line,'^[^|]*')))",
Address "trim(regexp_replace(:line,'^[^|]*\|(.*)\|[^|]*$','\1'))",
UPDATEDATE "to_date(trim(regexp_substr(:line,'[^|]*$')),'mm/dd/yyyy')"
)
I am having text file contaning field in below manner.
"64252368","7489040","305762",
"64285217","12132108","787341",
I am using a below control file.
OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '",'
(
LEARNEVENT_ID,
ORGANIZATION,
COURSE_ID
)
But, I am getting the error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table test_table, column LEARNEVENT_ID
ORA-01722: invalid number
Kindly help me on it.
You need to change your ctl file to include OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY option.
OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(
LEARNEVENT_ID,
ORGANIZATION,
COURSE_ID
)
I'd recommend reading up on SQL*Loader.
The problem lays with the encapsulation of the numbers with the quotes " " and your fields terminated by '",' simply does not strip the quotes.
Try this
OPTIONS(SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
LEARNEVENT_ID "replace ( :LEARNEVENT_ID ,'"', '')",
ORGINAZATION "replace ( :ORGINAZATION ,'"', '')",
COURSE_ID "replace ( :COURSE_ID ,'"', '')"
)
I am trying to load a text file, only those rows where 3rd column 'c_nbr' Doesn't END with 'ABCD'. Since WHEN clause is really primitive I could not use, trim/substring with it.
My second choice was to put the last 4 chars of c_nbr field to a column called 'MSGCOL' and use that column in my WHEN clause, like " WHEN MSGCOL <> 'ABCD' ".
The MSGCOL is getting value "ABCD" where column 'c_nbr' ends with "ABCD", but the WHEN clause is not DISCARDing them.
Why it's not working? How can I achieve my goal? Can I run SQL Query from sqlldr control file itself? Like "Delete from tbl_load where c_nbr like '%ABCD';" at the end of loading commands?
SQLLDR Control File:-
OPTIONS (ERRORS=9999)
LOAD DATA
INFILE '052140.csv'
BADFILE '052140.BAD'
DISCARDFILE '052140.DIS'
INFILE '055913.csv'
BADFILE '055913.BAD'
DISCARDFILE '055913.DIS'
APPEND INTO TABLE tbl_load
WHEN MSGCOL <> 'ABCD'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' optionally enclosed by '"' trailing nullcols
(
id "TRIM(UPPER(:ID))",
pid,
c_nbr "TRIM(:c_nbr)",
a_nbr "SUBSTR(TRIM(:a_nbr), 1, 25)",
P_REASON2 FILLER,
MSGCOL EXPRESSION "substr(trim(:c_nbr), length(trim(:c_nbr))-3, 4)"
)
