hello experts,
i want to export excel sheet in database table, so i have converted excel file in .csv file(comma delimated)and made control file, then
i started sqlldr by double clicking on it. path is-D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\BIN

i run this command from cmd-

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

I'd suggest you to open command prompt and set current directory to the one that contains your CSV and CTL files. For example:
M:\>c:

C:\>cd c:\users\neetesh\

Note the backslash (not forward slash! as you used it). Then run the SQLLDR executable.

While in C:\Users\Neetesh:
dir scott_data.ctl

What is the result?

Also, you don't need to specify the whole path now. This might be OK:
sqlldr scott/tiger@localdb control=scott_data.ctl log=scott_data.log

Thhe file you have attached is called scott_data.ctl.txt, and the data file to which it refers is called c:\scott_data
Are you sure about your file names and the directory in which they reside?

yes sir, it is in-C:\Users\Neetesh and a log text file is created at same directory(C:\Users\Neetesh) which containts the errors , shown in command prompt.

is there need to move these files to other location?
and i also run this command on- start menu->run
although same error occurs.i think this is another problem not a problem of path , because log text file is created at same place where scott_data.ctl.txt and data file exist.

thanx again sir...

DIR SCOTT_DATA.CTL said "File not found". You can't expect it to work if you a) misspelled its name, b) the file doesn't exist.

Make SURE that it is called SCOTT_DATA.CTL (not SCOTT_DATA.CTL.TXT or whatever else). Then run the SQLLDR statement once again (as I showed you in my previous message).

Not to sound harsh, I really do not intend that to be the case, but...the first thing you should have checked was whether the file existed since Oracle did indeed tell you "Unable to open file (c:/users/neetesh/scott_data.ctl)." Wouldn't the first logical thing to do would be to see if scott_data.ctl did exist, no matter if you *think* it did or not?

Huh, right - but Windows can be misleading here if you aren't careful enough. You can set it NOT to display extensions of known file types, so it'll - in Windows Explorer - hide .TXT (or .EXE or .BAT or .DOC or ...) and leave the "unknown" extension - .CTL. Therefore, if he opened Windows Explorer, SCOTT_DATA.CTL was really there. Too bad that .TXT was "hidden".

It would be different in DOS - DIR SCOTT_DATA.* would actually show the real extension.

and oracle makes bad file also it contains those records which was not inserted(i think),

datatype of columns are-

RULEID number
ROWRULE clob

thanx again.......

is there any thing different for inserting data in clob column when control file is-

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\row_rules_data.csv'
INSERT
INTO TABLE ROW_RULES
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(RULEID,
ROWRULE )

--where ruleid is number and rowrule is clob type.

thanks....

If you do not specify a data length, then the default is 255. So, if your clob data is longer than 255, it will not load and you will normally get an error that says that you have exceeded the maximum length. You can fix this by specifying the data length, for example:

ROWRULE CHAR(5000)

However, the error message in your SQL*Loader log file indicates that some values of your ruleid are not valid numbers and that there are so many such values that they have exceeded the maximum allowed number of errors. Although you could have a problem with your ruleid values, you may also have a problem with it reading data that belongs in the clob and those not being numbers. This will happen with the control file that you posted, if your data wraps around on multiple lines. If that is the case, then you need to specify starting and ending delimiters for the clob data, for example:

ROWRULE CHAR(5000) ENCLOSED BY '"' AND '"'

If this does not solve your problem, then please post some realistic sample data to be loaded. You can attach a text file to your post if needed

thanks barbara,
i have tried in several ways to load data in a table, but couldn't only just because of clob data.

i want to insert data in my table temp_row_rules

SQL> desc temp_row_rules
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------

RULEID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
ROWRULE CLOB

SQL>

it is empty at this time and i want to insert data which is in excel sheet and it is converted in .csv file.
content of control file is -

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\text_data.csv'
insert
INTO TABLE TEMP_ROW_RULES
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ruleid,rowrule )

and command on cmd is-

D:\>sqlldr test/test@chkdb control=test.txt

please tell me the way in which i can load data consisting the clob data.

thanks again....

Although your data appears to be one row per record, when I try to load it, some characters are recognized as line feeds, so the data is split and it thinks the next line of the data should start with the ruleid, so about every second or third row raises an invalid number error. To solve this, I used CONTINUEIF LAST != '"' in addition to the CHAR(5000) in the control file below.

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\text_data.csv'
INSERT
CONTINUEIF LAST != '"'
INTO TABLE temp_row_rules
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ruleid,
rowrule CHAR(5000))

thanks barbara and all those who helped me alot,
>>joy davison
sir i wanted to show her that what i have done in control file , so i
showed her old control file.
thanks sir.

>>Barbara Boehmer
all records are inserted successfully except 1 record that is-

ruleid,rowrule->6489,collaborate^sr_abcd_checkteporary^collaborate_ADDRESS_1^not^^{{collaborate}}^{{collaborate1}}

although it doesnt contain " double quote sign and size also very less in comparison to others.

and control file is

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\text_data.csv'
insert
CONTINUEIF LAST != '"'
INTO TABLE TEMP_ROW_RULES
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ruleid ,rowrule char(5000))

please tell me why this only one record is not inserted.

and one more question about statement execution on cmd-

In your data (see excerpt below) the record with ruleid 6488 does not have an ending double quote. So, the command CONTINUEIF LAST != '"' tells it to continue to the next line and consider the next line part of the same record. It was necessary to use that to solve the problem of multiple lines of text per record. However, it means that any record without a closing double quote gets combined with the next record. So, the row with 6489, "Released ... gets added to the clob data for the previous record with ruleid 6488. There is only so much that you can do to fix things. You can't fix everything. You can have the rejected rows go to a badfile, then fix those rows manually and reload them.

6487,"Releasead1^VW_SCRN_MAINTENANCE_RELEASE^Release_ADDRESS_1^not^^{{VW_SCRN_MAINTENANCE_RELEASE:RELEASE_ADDRESS_1}},{{RuleReleasead2}}^

6488,^Release^Release_ADDRESS_3^equal^^^{{Release_ADDRESS_3}}
6489,"Releasead^VW_SCRN_MAINTENANCE_RELEASE^Release_ADDRESS_1^not^^{{RuleReleasead1}}^{{Rulead1}}

SQL*Loader has a ROWS (rows per commit) parameter that can be issued in the SQL*Loader command line or using OPTIONS in the control file. This parameter determines after how many rows to commit. If you do not specify a value, then the default is 64.
