Sqlldr log shows wrong column name when facing ORA-01722 - oracle

I have a simple table with three columns.
Table name DUMMY20210527
desc DUMMY20210527
PID NUMBER(10)
VDATE DATE
SID NUMBER(10)
Control File
LOAD DATA CHARACTERSET JA16SJIS
APPEND INTO TABLE "DUMMY20210527" fields terminated by '\t' trailing nullcols
(
pid ,
vdate date "YYYY/MM/DD",
sid
)
Data File
a b c
1 2019/01/10 X
When trying to load this file log is showing error in column vdate. however wrong value x is provided in column sid
Log

ORA-01722: invalid number - type issue in oracle

I have a problem with data type and relationship between two tables
let's assume I have two tables as shown in the image
First table: Attached _file. The ID coulmn is number
Second table: FN_Transaction. the ID coulmn is varchar(20)
The ID in FN_Transaction has four cases
ID is null which means there is no attached file
ID has text as 'No' cell which means there is no attached file
ID starts with 0, but it will be equaled ID in Attached _file table such as 01222 = 1222
ID in FN_Transaction equals ID in Attached _file without 0 such as 2344 = 2344
let's see the query
with docs as
(
SELECT
ID,
COUNT(type) fileNo,
MAX(Date) date
FROM
Attached_file
GROUP BY
ID
)
Select
InvoiceNo,
fileNo,
date,
Amount
from
FN_transaction x1
left join docs x2 on
(Trim(x1.ID) = x2.ID)
the error that I got
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P034, (1)
ORA-01722: invalid number
12801. 00000 - "error signaled in parallel query server %s"
*Cause: A parallel query server reached an exception condition.
*Action: Check the following error message for the cause, and consult
your error manual for the appropriate action.
Do you have an idea about how to handle this type of column?
Please advise
You can use the default on conversion error clause in TO_NUMBER function (introduced in 12.2) as follows:
ON ( to_number(X1.ID default null on conversion error) = X2.ID )
Note that 01222 will be automatically converted to a number 1222. character NO will be converted to NULL because of default on conversion error and it will not match the join condition(which satisfies your requirement)

SQL Loader Error while loading the data from xml file to table

I'm trying to load the data from an xml file to a table. I get the below errors, please help me out.
Table:
CREATE TABLE TEST_XML
(FILL CHAR(30)
XMLDATA CLOB);
Here is my control file
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE TEST_XML XMLType(XMLDATA)
FIELDS ( FILL FILLER CHAR(100), XMLDATA LOBFILE(CONSTANT test_file.xml) TERMINATED BY EOF )
BEGINDATA 0
I get the below error:
Table TEST_XML, loaded from every logical record. Insert option in
effect for this table: TRUNCATE
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype
------------------------------ ---------- ----- ---- ---- --------------------- FILL FIRST 100 CHARACTER (FILLER FIELD) XMLDATA
DERIVED * EOF CHARACTER
Static LOBFILE. Filename is test_file.xml
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table TEST_XML. ORA-01008: not all
variables bound
For me it is invalid syntax in control file. Oder of key word is relevant. Also like after begindata
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE TEST_XML
truncate
FIELDS
( FILL FILLER CHAR(100)
,XMLDATA LOBFILE(CONSTANT test_file.xml) TERMINATED BY EOF )
BEGINDATA

SQL loader POSITION giving errors

I have a question.I'd like to know how we can specify POSITION if we have a column that allows only 1 character? For ex: I have a table Example with column SEC (char (1).I am using control file to load it to my table.
My control file reads this:Note I am trying to insert SEC on position 2.
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\Users\....\Data\h1.dat'
BADFILE 'C:\Users\...\Reject\h1.bad'
INSERT INTO TABLE EXAMPLE
(SEC POSITION (2))
My log reads:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCHEDULE, column SEC.
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("SCOTT"."EXAMPLE"."SEC")
Record 2:
Rejected - Error on table SCHEDULE, column SEC.
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("SCOTT"."EXAMPLE"."SEC")

SQL Loader like errors in a table

I have external tables. And I'd like to extract the data from those tables and insert/merge that data in other tables.
Now when a select from => insert into query or merge query runs then it is possible (and likely possible) that the data might be in a bad quality, which will result into breaking query. Say there is 000000 as date in external table which will result breaking query if I am merging data.
How can I log these errors in a table (for example) error table which will log the error, reason of error, line number and column name? Just like you see in SQL Loader logs. For example:
Record 2324: Rejected - Error on table AA_STAG_VR_01, column KS1.
ORA-01843: not a valid month
And the query shouldn't break upon rather. Rather log the error and move on like it happens in SQL Loader.
Is it possible? I tried to look around net but I wasn't unable to find anything, or maybe I simply don't know the magic words
Thanks in advance :-)
EDIT:
Ok, I was able to solve the problem (well, partly) using the following approach.
CREATE TABLE error_table (
ora_err_number$ NUMBER,
ora_err_mesg$ VARCHAR2(2000),
ora_err_rowid$ ROWID,
ora_err_optyp$ VARCHAR2(2),
ora_err_tag$ VARCHAR2(2000)
)
INSERT INTO destination_table (column)
SELECT column FROM external_table
LOG ERRORS INTO error_table REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
This gives me:
SELECT * FROM error_table;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ORA_ERR_NUMBER$ | ORA_ERR_MESG$ | ORA_ERR_ROWID$ | ORA_ERR_OPTYP$ | ORA_ERR_TAG$ |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12899 |ORA-12899: value too large for column "SYSTEM"."destination_table"."column"
So far, so good. However, I would like to know what record number (line number in external_table) has this error. Because it is possible that fist 10 records went ok but 11th record was bad.
Check out FORALL + SAVE EXCEPTIONS clause. It might help you.

Below some syntax, you have reject limit as in sqlloader, you have log files, bad files etc.

Problem with Oracle Sql Loader control file

I'm trying to load some data using sql loader. Here is the top of my control/data file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
APPEND INTO TABLE economic_indicators
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(ASOF_DATE DATE 'DD-MON-YY',
VALUE FLOAT EXTERNAL,
STATE,
SERIES_ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
CREATE_DATE DATE 'DD-MON-YYYY')
BEGINDATA
01-Jan-79,AL,67.39940538,1,23-Jun-2009
... lots of other data lines.
The problem is that sql loader won't recognize the data types I'm specifying. This is the log file:
Table ECONOMIC_INDICATORS, loaded from every logical record.
Insert option in effect for this table: APPEND
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype
------------------------------ ---------- ----- ---- ---- ---------------------
ASOF_DATE FIRST * , DATE DD-MON-YY
VALUE NEXT * , CHARACTER
STATE NEXT * , CHARACTER
SERIES_ID NEXT * , CHARACTER
CREATE_DATE NEXT * , DATE DD-MON-YYYY
value used for ROWS parameter changed from 10000 to 198
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table ECONOMIC_INDICATORS, column VALUE.
ORA-01722: invalid number
... lots of similiar errors, expected if trying to insert char data into a numeric column.
I've tried no datatype spec, all other numeric specs, and always the same issue. Any ideas?
Also, any ideas on why it's changing the Rows parameter?
From your example, SQL*Loader will try to evaluate the string "AL" to a number value, which will result in the error message you gave. The sample data has something looking like it could be a decimal number at third position, not second as specified int he column list.
