I am using EDB loader to load data by using files but getting the below error.
EDB format which i have used:
LOAD DATA
APPEND
INTO TABLE $table_name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( $columns_name)
Error:
Rejected Record Number (line no) for relation (table_name) due to the following error:
"invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00"
sample file formats:
"1234","//acsii100\private\test"
Please help to resolve it.
whether it will resolve by adding tab '\t' at the end of FIELDS TERMINATED BY.
Thanks in advance.
You need to load the file in binary mode and print it out byte by byte. I'm guessing that the characters will turn out to be 16 bit with zeroes between them.
The other possibility is that records must be a minimum length. That seems unlikely.

I'm finding myself in a predicament.
I am parsing a logfile of multiple entries of SOAP calls. Each soap call can contain payloads of 4000+ characters preventing me to use varchar2. So I must use a CLOB)
I have to load those payloads onto a oracle DB (12g).
I succesfully split the log into single fields and got the payloads and the header of the calls in two single files.
How do I create a CTL file that loads from an infile (that contains data for other fields) and reads CLOB files in pairs?
Ideally:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'load.ldr'
BADFILE 'load.bad'
APPEND
INTO TABLE ops_payload_tracker
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '§'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( id,
direction,
http_info,
payload CLOB(),
header CLOB(),
host_name)
but then I don't know, and can't find anywhere on the internet, how to do it for more than one record and how to reference that one record with two CLOBS.
Worth mentioning that it is JBOSS logs, on bash environment.
check size of varchar type in 12c. I thought it was increased to 32K
https://oracle-base.com/articles/12c/extended-data-types-12cR1
see that sample SQL Loader, CLOB, delimited fields
"I already create two separate files for payload and headers. How
should I specify that the two files are there for the same ID?"
see example here:
https://oracle-base.com/articles/10g/load-lob-data-using-sql-loader
roughly:
sample table
1,one,01-JAN-2006,1_clob_header.txt,2_clob_details.txt
2,two,02-JAN-2006,2_clob_heder.txt,2_clob_details.txt
ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'lob_test_data.txt'
INTO TABLE lob_tab
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
(number_content CHAR(10),
varchar2_content CHAR(100),
date_content DATE "DD-MON-YYYY" ":date_content",
clob_filename FILLER CHAR(100),
clob_content LOBFILE(clob_filename) TERMINATED BY EOF,
blob_filename FILLER CHAR(100),
blob_content LOBFILE(blob_filename) TERMINATED BY EOF)
I have a CSV file that contains a list of famous singers in the world. I want to import this file to Oracle DB using SQLLDR.
Contains of singers.csv is:
number,name,follower
1,Prince,100
2,Ludacris,100
3,Bruno Mars,100
4,Madonna,100
5,Miley,Cyrus,100
6,Britney,Spears,100
control.ctl
OPTIONS (SKIP=0, errors=12000)
LOAD DATA
APPEND INTO TABLE singers_tb
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(number ":number", name "TRIM (:name)",follower ":follower")
singers_tb
create singers_tb (
number varchar2(3),
name varchar2(255),
follower number
)
error message
Record 5: Rejected - Error on table singers_tb, column FOLLOWER.
ORA-01722: invalid number
Record 6: Rejected - Error on table singers_tb, column FOLLOWER.
ORA-01722: invalid number
I know the cause of the error is the comma (,) on Britney,Spears and Miley,Cyrus.
How to solve these problems if I still want to use FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," ?
Thanks you very much for your suggestion.
Your control file already has: optionally enclosed by '"'.
Make sure the data provider indeed provides that any field containing your delimiter arrive surrounded by double quotes.
Hi am trying to use load data in oracle. if am using
LINES TERMINATED BY '<>'
it is throwing
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 1.
Expecting "(", found "LINES".
why it is happening .whether there is no LINES teminated by clause in oracle?
I think LINES TERMINATED is not defined in ORACLE; check Stream Record Format from the ORACLE documentation:
A file is in stream record format when the records are not specified
by size; instead SQL*Loader forms records by scanning for the record
terminator. Stream record format is the most flexible format, but
there can be a negative effect on performance. The specification of a
datafile to be interpreted as being in stream record format looks
similar to the following: INFILE datafile_name ["str
terminator_string"]
Example:
load data
infile 'example.dat' "str '|\n'"
into table example
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(col1 char(5),
col2 char(7))
example.dat:
hello,world,|

I am getting following error while loading Japanese data using SQL*Loader. My Database is UTF8 (NLS parameters) and my OS supports UTF8.
Record 5: Rejected - Error on table ACTIVITY_FACT, column METADATA.
ORA-12899: value too large for column METADATA (actual: 2624, maximum: 3500)
My Control file:
load data
characterset UTF8
infile '../tab_files/activity_fact.csv' "STR ';'"
APPEND
into tableactivity_fact
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '~'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(metadata CHAR(3500))
My table
create table actvuty_facr{
metadata varchar2(3500 char)
}
Why SQL Loader is throwing the wrong exception, (actual: 2624, maximum: 3500). 2624 is less than 3500.
The default length semantics for all datafiles (except UFT-16) is byte. So in your case you have a CHAR of 3500 bytes rather than characters. You have some multi-byte characters in your file and the 2624 characters is therefore using more than 3500 bytes, hence the (misleading) message.
You can sort this out by using character length semantics instead
alter this line in your control file
characterset UTF8
to this
characterset UTF8 length semantics char
and it will work on characters for CHAR fields (and some others) - in the same way that you have set up your table, so 3500 characters of up to four bytes each.
See the Utilities Guide on Character Length Semantics for more information
I'm trying to load localized strings from a unicode (UTF8-encoded) csv using SQL Loader into an oracle database. I've tried all sort of combinations but nothing seems to give me the result I'm looking for which is to have special greek characters like (Δ) not get converted to Δ or ¿.
My table definition looks like this:
CREATE TABLE "GLOBALIZATIONRESOURCE"
(
"RESOURCETYPE" VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"CULTURE" VARCHAR2(20 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"KEY" VARCHAR2(128 CHAR) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"VALUE" VARCHAR2(2048 CHAR),
"DESCRIPTION" VARCHAR2(512 CHAR),
CONSTRAINT "PK_GLOBALIZATIONRESOURCE" PRIMARY KEY ("RESOURCETYPE","CULTURE","KEY") USING INDEX TABLESPACE REPSPACE_IX ENABLE
)
TABLESPACE REPSPACE;
I have tried the following configurations in my control file (and actually every permutation I could think of)
load data
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE "GLOBALIZATIONRESOURCE"
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
"RESOURCETYPE" CHAR(255),
"CULTURE" CHAR(20),
"KEY" CHAR(128),
"VALUE" CHAR(2048),
"DESCRIPTION" CHAR(512)
)
load data
CHARACTERSET UTF8
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE "GLOBALIZATIONRESOURCE"
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
"RESOURCETYPE" CHAR(255),
"CULTURE" CHAR(20),
"KEY" CHAR(128),
"VALUE" CHAR(2048),
"DESCRIPTION" CHAR(512)
)
load data
CHARACTERSET UTF16
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE "GLOBALIZATIONRESOURCE"
FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'002c' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY X'0022'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
"RESOURCETYPE" CHAR(255),
"CULTURE" CHAR(20),
"KEY" CHAR(128),
"VALUE" CHAR(2048),
"DESCRIPTION" CHAR(512)
)
With the first two options, the unicode characters don't get encoded and just show up as upside down question marks.
If I choose last option, UTF16, then I get the following error even though all my data in my fields are much shorter than the length specified.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length
It seems as though every possible combination of ctl file configurations (even setting the byte order to little and big) doesn't work correctly. Can someone please give an example of a configuration (table structure and CTL file) that correctly loads unicode data from a csv? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note: I've already been to http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_concepts.htm, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch10.htm and http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch10.htm.
I had same issue and resolved by below steps -
Open data file into Notepad++ , Go to "Encoding" dropdown and select UTF8 encoding and save file.
use CHARACTERSET UTF8 into CTL file and then upload data.
You have two problem;
Character set.
Answer: You can solve this problem by finding your text character set (most of time notepad++ can do this.). After finding character set, you have to find sqlldr correspond of character set name. So, you can find this info from link https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96529/appa.htm#975313
After all of these, you should solve character set problem.
In contrast to your actual data length, sqlldr says that, Field in data file exceeds maximum length.
Answer: You can solve this problem by adding CHAR(4000) (or what the actual length is) to problematic column. In my case, the problematic column is "E" column. Example is below. In my case I solved my problem in this way, hope helps.
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8

-- Turkish charset (for ÜĞİŞ etc.)
-- CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P9
-- Character list is here.

You must ensure that the following charactersets are the same:
db characterset
dump file characterset
the client from which you are doing the import (NLS_LANG)
If the client-side characterset is different, oracle will attempt to perform character conversions to the native db characterset and this might not always provide the desired result.
Don't use MS Office to save the spreadsheet into unicode .csv.
Instead, use OpenOffice to save into unicode-UTF8 .csv file.
Then in the loader control file, add "CHARACTERSET UTF8"
run Oracle SQL*Loader, this gives me correct results
There is a range of character set encoding that you can use in control file while loading data from sql loader.
For greek characters I believe Western European char set should do the trick.
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
or in case of MS word input files with smart characters try in control file
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
