Hello Friends,
I am completely new to Oracle db and Unix scripting.

I have a task of making a process which can pick up multiple files from specific folder, process them and load them into Oracle db table via SQL-LOADER.
My source files are .csv format excel spreadsheet of up to 700MB size.

(1.) the logic I can not figure out is to compare a column from incoming file to my oracle table partition(column name is partition ID), if it matches that partition then it needs to be dropped . if it does not match than create a new partition based on that column and load the data.
(2.) populate the column "File_Name" from which the data is being loaded in to table.

I looked over in other forums they indicated to make a batch file containing sqlldr+ username/password+ control file+ log file + bad file. and asked to manually write a control file containing my data mapping and script for (1) and (2).

I have been instructed to use Unix shell script to invoke SQL-LOADER (using putty) for the process. but I don't know how to do Unix coding which can process/pass each file one by one to SQL-LOADER.

please help me out on this, let me know I am missing any details or specifications.

You need to inform you team leader that this task needs to be assigned somebody who knows more than you.

Not sure what you mean/need.
Your "partitioning" strategy is not clear to me.

Hello Mahesh, thank you for the reply.
partition in table are based on a column value of my incoming (source file) data, as shown below

MODEL YEAR TYPE
focus 2013 se
focus 2014 s
focus 2012 se
focus 2013 h

so in table partitions are based upon 'MODEL', what I am expecting is my script would compare value 'focus' in oracle table. if partition 'focus' exist in table then drop it and load new data, if partition does not exist then make new partition and then load the data.
hope I made it clear to understand.
thank you

It is a BAD, Bad, bad "design" to include application data, like model name, as part of object (table, partition, or column) name.
It violates Third Normal Form.
It results in inflexible SQL & folks then revert to dynamic SQL to work around the initial design flaw

what is justification for having table YEARINVENTORY as partitioned table?
Any table should only be partitioned to solve a specific problem.
So what problem does a partitioned YEARINVENTORY table solve?

the table has hundreds of other partitions,and as per my best understanding other team runs query on table and retrieve the data. now the table needs to be updated with most recent data (based upon partition).

As BlackSwan said,
this is a bad design.
And posted DDL will not work.
Your columns are defined as number and list is based/search on character.
  1   CREATE  TABLE YearInventory
  2   (
  3   Model NUMBER ,
  4   Year NUMBER ,
  5   Type VARCHAR2 (10 BYTE)
  6   )
  7   PARTITION BY LIST (MODEL)
  8*  ( PARTITION MODEL_FOCUS VALUES  ('FOCUS'))
SQL> /
 ( PARTITION MODEL_FOCUS VALUES  ('FOCUS'))
                                  *
ERROR at line 8:
ORA-01722: invalid number

thank you for the reply Mahesh, I will change the property of the first column to VARCHAR 2(10 BYTES). it was really silly mistake, I am assuming upon changing it will work

Something like this. Make it fancy to fit your needs.
##
## read the source file.
## Look for the first value. Process one-by-one.
##
oracle@kanada#cat somescript
awk -F" " '{print$1}' source.dat | sort | uniq | while read pname
do
sq=`sqlplus -s dbadmin/xx@xx <<EOF
set head off
select count(partition_name) from user_tab_partitions where table_name ='T1' and partition_name like (upper('MODEL_$pname'));
exit;
EOF`
if [ "$sq" -eq 1 ]; then
        echo "Partition $pname found. Do whatever you want";
else
        echo "Partition $pname notfound. ";
fi
done
##
## Sample source file
##
oracle@kanada#cat source.dat
focus 2013 se
focus 2014 s
focus 2012 se
focus 2013 h
something 2013 som
this 2014 that


##sample run
oracle@kanada#./somescript
Partition focus found. Do whatever you want
Partition something notfound.
Partition this notfound.
