How to update a column using control file in oracle? - oracle

Question

I want to update a column in a table if it satisfies a condition. This should happen while loading the data into the table using sqlldr. Below is the control file i have written for this. I am facing some issue while executing this through sqlldr.
options (SKIP=1,bindsize=1048576, rows=500, errors=100)
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/x069291/appln/ncisdr/inbound/ExternalUserMasterNCI.TXT'
APPEND
INTO TABLE OMS_DP_EXTERNAL_USERS
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ";"
trailing nullcols
(STATUS,
USER_NAME,
FIRST_NAME,
MIDDLE_NAME,
LAST_NAME,
CMPNY_NM,
EMAIL,
MAILING_ADDRESS,
CITY,
STATE_PROVINCE,
ZIP_POSTALCODE,
COUNTRY,
PRIMARY_PHONE_NUMBER,
FAX_NUMBER,
BH_AFFILIATE,
USER_TYPE "CASE when USER_TYPE='NCIF' THEN 'G' ELSE USER_TYPE END'",
DPRTMT_NM,
TITLE,
CREATED_DATE "to_timestamp(:created_date,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF')",
MODIFIED_DATE "to_timestamp(:modified_date,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF')"
)
Below is the data in the file
STATUS;USER_ID;FIRST_NAME;MIDDLE_NAME;LAST_NAME;COMPANY;EMAIL;MAILING_ADDRESS;CITY;STATE_PROVINCE;ZIP_POSTALCODE;COUNTRY;PHONE;FAX;AFFLIATE;USER_TYPE;Code;Fleet_Account_Type;CREATED_DT;UPDATED_DT

Answer 1

You have an extra single quote in there after the END as well as not using bind variables:
USER_TYPE "CASE when USER_TYPE='NCIF' THEN 'G' ELSE USER_TYPE END'",
Change to this:
USER_TYPE "CASE when :USER_TYPE='NCIF' THEN 'G' ELSE :USER_TYPE END",
