SQL Loader conditional statements? [message #155419]

Hi, can anyone tell me if it is possible to have if-else statements for a field column?

For example,

SITEID if(location is null) then get_siteid_by_asset (:ASSETNUM)
else if(asset is null) then get_siteid_by_location (:LOCATION)

If so, please give me an example. Thanks.

I *think* that there's no such possibility (at least, I don't know about it), but what you could do is write your own function which would - as parameters - have "location" and "asset" and return desired value.

In your example, rewrite existing functions or - if it is too complicated - write a new one which would then call existing ones.

How to incorporate a function into the SQL*Loader utility, see Barbara's example.

I found out the way, it is something as follows:

SITEID "decode ( :LOCATION, null, (get_siteid_by_asset (:ASSETNUM)),(get_siteid_by_location (:LOCATION)))",

For others keen to follow up, you can read at this url:
