SQL LOAD DATA INFILE but keep one field static - oracle

Question

I am running the following to load data into a table
OPTIONS (Skip=1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\EPM\import\test.txt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE HYP.HS_MEMBER_D
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
DIMENSION,
PARENT,
CHILD,
ALIAS,
ATTRB01
)
This is working fine but I want to keep the ATTRB01 field as a static value, I want to load "Alloc" for all records, is there a way in this script to load a static value even though I am loading from the file for the other fields?

Answer 1

You'd load a constant, such as
OPTIONS (Skip=1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\EPM\import\test.txt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE HYP.HS_MEMBER_D
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
DIMENSION constant Account,
PARENT,
CHILD,
ALIAS,
ATTRB01 constant 'Alloc' --> this
)
Here's an example: test table:
SQL> desc test
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- -------------
ID NUMBER
ATTRB01 VARCHAR2(20)
Control file:
load data
infile *
replace
into table test
fields terminated by ","
trailing nullcols
(
id,
attrb01 constant 'Alloc'
)
begindata
1,xxx
2,yyy
3,zzz
Loading session & the result:

Answer 2

try by using set at end
OPTIONS (Skip=1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\EPM\import\test.txt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE HYP.HS_MEMBER_D
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
DIMENSION constant Account,
PARENT,
CHILD,
ALIAS,
ATTRB01
)
set ATTRB01='default_value'
