I have written the below control file for my data import. I have gotten an error from the log file.

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\Jie\PSA\SQLLoader\JobPlanTask01.csv'
Append
INTO TABLE jobtask
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(JPNUM POSITION(*),
JPTASK,
TASKSEQUENCE,
DESCRIPTION,
TASKDURATION,
METERNAME,
JOBPLANID EXPRESSION "SELECT jobplan.JOBPLANID FROM jobplan WHERE jobplan.JPNUM = :JPNUM",
LANGCODE CONSTANT 'EN',
ORGID CONSTANT 'EAGLENA',
HASLD CONSTANT '0',
JOBTASKID "jobtaskseq.nextval"
)


Record 1: Rejected - Error on table JOBTASK, column JOBPLANID.
ORA-00936: missing expression

Record 2: Rejected - Error on table JOBTASK, column JOBPLANID.
ORA-00936: missing expression

Can anyone tell me what mistake I had in my sql string? Thanks for your help.

You could use a function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_jobplanid
  (p_jpnum IN jobplan.jpnum%TYPE)
  RETURN      jobplan.jobplanid%TYPE
AS
  v_jobplanid jobplan.jobplanid%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT jobplan.JOBPLANID 
  INTO   v_jobplanid
  FROM   jobplan 
  WHERE  jobplan.jpnum = p_jpnum;
  RETURN v_jobplanid;
END get_jobplanid;
/


LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\Jie\PSA\SQLLoader\JobPlanTask01.csv'
Append
INTO TABLE jobtask
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(JPNUM POSITION(*),
JPTASK,
TASKSEQUENCE,
DESCRIPTION,
TASKDURATION,
METERNAME,
JOBPLANID "get_jobplanid (:jpnum)",
LANGCODE CONSTANT 'EN',
ORGID CONSTANT 'EAGLENA',
HASLD CONSTANT '0',
JOBTASKID "jobtaskseq.nextval"
)

No, the expression must be a sql string, not a sql select statement.

Hi,
I'm sorry but you are wrong.
You can put a SELECT statement in control file.

(
        LINE_NUMBER			SEQUENCE(COUNT),
		ROW_1        POSITION(4:15) "SUBSTR(:ROW_1,1,8)",
        CODE_INFORMATION    POSITION(16:19),
        INFORMATION_DATA    POSITION(20) CHAR(4000),
        DATE_TRAITEMENT		EXPRESSION	"(SELECT TITI FROM TOTO WHERE DATE_CREATION = (SELECT MAX(DATE_CREATION) FROM TOTO))"

The parenthesis around the query are mandatory:

ric90,

Thanks for the correction. I tested without parentheses around the select statement, so I thought it couldn't be done, but I see now that it works with the parentheses.

My pleasure.
Don't forget the parentheses for select statement, and it'll work fine.
