Greetings.

Do you by chance know if it is possible to tell the SQL*Loader not to insert the data it detects index errors on?
Currently it returns an error code (2) and informs me that it succeeded inserting the aforementioned rows.


The error message is as followed (forgive me for the Swedish text):
The following index(es) on table VALUE_CODE were processed:
index DBONE.INDX_ONSERIALNUM gjordes oanvändbart pga.:
ORA-00001: brott mot unik begränsning (DBONE.INDX_ONSERIALNUM)
indexet DBONE.INDX_MEMBER_GETCOUNT ignorerades på grund av:
SKIP_UNUSABLE_INDEXES angavs och indexsegmentet var oanvändbart före laddningen
indexet DBONE.INDX_MEMBER_REPORT ignorerades på grund av:
SKIP_UNUSABLE_INDEXES angavs och indexsegmentet var oanvändbart före laddningen
index DBONE.INDX_MEMBER_SESSIONID gjordes oanvändbart pga.:
ORA-00001: brott mot unik begränsning (DBONE.INDX_MEMBER_SESSIONID)
indexet DBONE.INDX_CODEANDSTATUS ignorerades på grund av:
SKIP_UNUSABLE_INDEXES angavs och indexsegmentet var oanvändbart före laddningen
laddningen av index DBONE.PK_MEMBER lyckades med 1 nycklar

Table VALUE_CODE:
  1 Row successfully loaded.
  0 Rows not loaded due to data errors.
  0 Rows not loaded because all WHEN clauses were failed.
  0 Rows not loaded because all fields were null.

The control file looks like this (without columns):
LOAD DATA INFILE 'files\bulk.201804251345' 
 APPEND PRESERVE BLANKS INTO TABLE MEMBER 
 fields terminated by "#" optionally enclosed by '|'  
 trailing nullcols 
 ( REMOVED )

I've done some additional research since I posted this.

UNIQUE constraints are enforced both during and after the load. A record which violates a UNIQUE constraint is not rejected (the record is not available in memory when the constraint violation is detected.)

Am I to understand that by using Direct Loads we cannot prevent data from being inserted when there is an constraint error?

Direct path loading handles different types of constraints in different ways. You cannot prevent duplicates from being inserted when UNIQUE constraints are violated. Your table names in your control file and error messages do not match. The following is a close approximation of what you have, based on your error messages. It looks like you have a unique index which is rendered unusable by the direct path load that allows duplicates. I never use direct path, because of all of its limitations. I recommend just using conventional path. I have provided a reproduction below in case someone else wants to experiment with it and make any suggestions.

Appreciate it, I will give it a go. My only worry is slowing it down, since there will be millions of rows.

Any inconsistencies with the snippets I've posted above would be to me changing the names to sensor original table names and such. Smile
