Hallo everyone,

I have a very strange problem.

I am loading an XMLType column with the varcharc method.

If the XMLType column is UPPERCASE like "MYCOLUMN" its all right.

But if rename the column with lower case letters like "Mycolumn" i get :

SQL*Loader-951: Error calling once/load initialization
ORA-01009: missing mandatory parameter
.

Is it a bug?

PS : My Controlfile

OPTIONS(DIRECT=TRUE) UNRECOVERABLE LOAD DATA CHARACTERSET UTF8 INFILE '/tmp/data.dat' "str '<endrec>\n'" TRUNCATE INTO TABLE SCHEMA.NAME fields terminated by ';' optionally enclosed by '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS (
"Mycolumn" VARCHARC(10, 2147483647))

Please copy and paste the whole SQL*Loader session.
Please post a test case we can reproduce.
Please ALWAYS post your Oracle version with 4 decimals.

If you are going to load XML, then it needs to be valid XML, where you have matching start and end tags, including matching case. Similarly, if you enclose column names in double quotes, then the case must match. Also, there are a lot of things that are not compatible with direct path, but work with the conventional path. In the following example, I have changed just enough to make it run and load data.

SCOTT@orcl12c> host type data.dat
0000000071<AAAA>
<AAAAAAA attribute="name">Content 460768932</AAAAAAA>
</AAAA>
<endrec>

SCOTT@orcl12c> host type control.ctl
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
INFILE 'data.dat' "str '<endrec>\n'"
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE MYTABLE
fields terminated by ';'
optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
("ncol" VARCHARC(10, 214748364))

SCOTT@orcl12c> create table mytable ("ncol"  xmltype)
  2  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl12c> host sqlldr scott/tiger control=control.ctl log=test.log

Thank you for you answer:)

I can load now the xml through conventional path.

Is there no way to load valid xml data through direct path with lower case column names?
If i use just uppercase column names i can laod valid xml with direct path.

You can use both conventional and direct path load for loading xmltype data. However, there is an exception to it, read Overview of Loading XMLType Data Into Oracle Database.
