Hi all, need help, i have a csv file with this structure:

headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4
detail1field1,detail1field2,detail1field3,detail1field4,detail1field5
detail2field1,detail2field2,detail2field3,detail2field4,detail2field5
detail3field1,detail3field2,detail3field3,detail3field4,detail3field5
detail4field1,detail4field2,detail4field3,detail4field4,detail4field5
detail5field1,detail5field2,detail5field3,detail5field4,detail5field5
detail6field1,detail6field2,detail6field3,detail6field4,detail6field5
.
.
.
detailnfield1,detailnfield2,detailnfield3,detailnfield4,detailnfield5


It's a file that have information about purchasing order, where the first line is the header of the order and the other lines are the items of the order.

The idea is to load a table with the next structure using sqlloader:

headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4,detail1field1,detail1field2,detail1field3,detail1field4,detail1field5
headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4,detail2field1,detail2field2,detail2field3,detail2field4,detail2field5
headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4,detail3field1,detail3field2,detail3field3,detail3field4,detail3field5
headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4,detail4field1,detail4field2,detail4field3,detail4field4,detail4field5
headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4,detail5field1,detail5field2,detail5field3,detail5field4,detail5field5
headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4,detail6field1,detail6field2,detail6field3,detail6field4,detail6field5
.
.
.
headerfield1,headerfield2,headerfield3,headerfield4,detailnfield1,detailnfield2,detailnfield3,detailnfield4,detailnfield5

Thanks in advanced for your helpfull advice

Regards

Javier R.

Please read & follow posting guidelines as stated in URL above

As far as I know SQL*Loader does not handle this data format.

Programatically how are header records differentiated from detail records.
In other words, how is the s/w supposed to recognize the last detail record for previous header?

Anacedent, thanks for reply.

That's the easy part, in a file i have only one header all the item lines belong to the same header. In other words, i have only one order for each csv file.

Thanks again

regards

Javier R.

I don't think so but Barbara is our SQL*Loader expert maybe she will have one of her neat ideas.

Unless you modify your data file, as anacedent suggested, I don't see any way to do this in one pass with SQL*Loader or external tables. You would need to load the header fields into one staging table, load the detail fields into another staging table, then do an insert using a cartesian join into your target table.

I'd say that the key to the solution is knowledge of DOS batch scripting. As it appears, you don't know much about it (just as well as I don't), perhaps you should ask for help on one of DOS batch scripting related forums; at this point, it is no longer Oracle related problem.

The same could be accomplished by a PERL script of under 10 lines.
