Hello, I have flat file, it has numbers with - sign appended on righ hand side. when i load into table, i need to move negative sign on left hand side... Since the field is NUMBER data type. I am using trigger... somehow, it is not working..

Here is the data file content.

34|xxx
-20|yyy
20-|hi
30|dd
4|scott
1-|tiger
45-|ra
984|last


Here is my control file

load data
infile      'test.txt'
BADFILE     'test.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'test.dsc'
replace
into table test
fields terminated by "|"
trailing nullcols
(no,
name)


Table has two filds.
NO - NUMBER
NAME - VARCHAR2(50)

Here is my trigger to move the negative sign from right side to left side.

SQL> create trigger trg_test before insert on test
  2  for each row
  3  begin
  4  SELECT
  5  decode(instr(:new.no,'-',-1,1),0,:new.no,'-'||substr(:new.no,1,instr(:new.no,'-',-1,1)-1))
  6  INTO :new.no
  7  FROM DUAL;
  8  end;
  9  /

Trigger created.


The data load is not successful... Any help is appreciated..

I know that, we can load into temp table with CHAR data type and change the data. Is there a way we can load with out temp table??

I attached the log file for your info...

Michel - My problem is different... My input data is coming from flat file... I am using temp tables to resolve this problem. Anyhow, thank you for your response.

You can use a function during load, have a look at the documentation.

Why don't you post a solution here?
Still trying to promote yourself and post your email like in all your other answers?
Maybe spamming us with it may lead to be spammed by it...

Why not just
no "to_number(:no,'99s')",
and get rid of the function?

It is great you finally showed your skills.

Also Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter), use code tags.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

Well, perhaps you could include the logic into the control file (no triggers, no temporary tables), such as:

Control file:
load data
  infile *
  replace
into table test
  fields terminated by '|'
  trailing nullcols

( no "decode(substr(:no, -1), 
               '-', -1 * to_number(substr(:no, 1, instr(:no, '-') - 1)), 
                    :no
            )",
  name
)

begindata
34|xxx
-20|yyy
20-|hi
30|dd
4|scott
1-|tiger
45-|ra
984|last

As far as I know, no actual minus sign is really stored in the NUMERIC datatype field.

Whether the minus sign appears on the left or the right is STRICTLY a data presentation issue & NOT a storage issue!

This discussion is much like debating whether time is stored in 12 hour format or 24 hour format; where the answer is neither format.

You can load data into any table either TEMP or ANY OTHER NAME, you just need to have the table with appropriate columns with appropriate datatypes.

Thanks.

Well, not exactly true. Perhaps "temp" or "any other name" is occupied. You know, "occupied"? A problem for the one on the wrong side of the door? /forum/fa/2883/0/

@LittleFoot,

Error Message ORA-00955 is invoked when someone tries to create a database object in the same name as already exists. It is not related with Oracle Load command/tool where you are inserting the rows. And "ANY OTHER NAME" is not a name of a table.

Load Command can be implemented on any user created tables, provided specified columns with specified datatypes exist.

Thanks.
