What do you mean by "blanks is not valid"?
Here's an example: first, contents of Scott's DEPT table:SQL> select * From dept;
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- -------------- -------------
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK
20 RESEARCH DALLAS
30 SALES CHICAGO
40 OPERATIONS BOSTON
SQL>
This is a control file; I want to load records whose 'loc' column is empty (it is the third one, "21,BI Team"):load data
infile *
append
into table dept
when loc = blanks
fields terminated by ','
(deptno, dname, loc)
begindata
1,BI Team, Zagreb
11,IT Team, Zagreb
21,BI Team,
22,IT Team,Split
Here's an excerpt of the log file:Record 1: Discarded - failed all WHEN clauses.
Record 2: Discarded - failed all WHEN clauses.
Record 4: Discarded - failed all WHEN clauses.
Table DEPT:
1 Row successfully loaded.
0 Rows not loaded due to data errors.
3 Rows not loaded because all WHEN clauses were failed.
0 Rows not loaded because all fields were null.
Finally, a new DEPT table:SQL> select * From dept;
DEPTNO DNAME LOC
---------- -------------- -------------
10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK
20 RESEARCH DALLAS
30 SALES CHICAGO
40 OPERATIONS BOSTON
21 BI Team
SQL>
So, it DOES work in my example.
Could you produce your own one? Could you post it? If possible, base it on Scott's schema so that we could easily reproduce it. If not, post CREATE TABLE statement(s) as well as sample input data, control file and all other relevant information.
