Hello all;
I am using variable length comma separated values data files with SQL Loader into Ora 8.1.5. I have been reading the documentation on how to load data from one csv record into two (or more) tables, and the information is extensive, but all I can find deals with positional data, not variable length data. My control file is this:
<load_d.ctl>
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'file.csv' BADFILE 'file.bad' DISCARDFILE 'file.dis'
replace
INTO TABLE schema.table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(col1 nullif col1=blanks "upper(:col1)", col2 nullif col2=blanks, col3 nullif col3=blanks "upper(:col3)", col4 nullif col4=blanks "upper(:col4)", col5 nullif col5=blanks "upper(:col5)", col6 nullif col6=blanks "upper(:col6)", col7 nullif col7=blanks "upper(:col7)", col8 nullif col8=blanks "upper(:col8)", col9 "UPPER(:col9)")
</load_d.ctl>
I was thinking that I could add a line to that file like:
<next_lines>
INTO TABLE schema.table2
WHEN col10 <> null <--- question on this, too (col10 nullif col10=blanks)
</next_lines>
The documentation I'm reading is Case 5 of SQL Loader, loading into multiple tables, and the example file is ULCASE5.CTL. I'd give a link but they never go back to the exact location you clicked to, only to the index page; but it's in the 8.1.5 documentation:
<http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/F49540_01/DOC/index.htm>
under Oracle 8i Utilities. The case, as I said, uses positional data, but I am using csv; also there's the question of comparison in that second INTO TABLE WHEN statement. I couldn't find an answer to "when there is no value after the last comma on a record". Sorry I don't have a better way to put that...
[Quoted] Anyway, ORA 8.1.5, WinXP (that I'm running this from), Win2K Pro (the DB is on that), and please let me know if you need more information.
