oracle - How to use to_number and nullif in sql-loader? -


i've had similar problem dates (combination of to_date , nullif) here : how use decode in sql-loader?

and solved nicely.

my problem numeric field in csv file can have these formats : 999,999,999.99 or dot '.' null values.

this working :

minquantity      "to_number(:minquantity, '9999999999d999999', 'nls_numeric_characters='',.''')" 

or

minquantity      nullif minquantity      = '.' 

but not working when i'm trying combine both :

minquantity      "to_number(:minquantity, '9999999999d999999', 'nls_numeric_characters='',.''')  nullif :minquantity= '.'" 

here error log :

record 1: rejected - error on table my_table, column minquantity. ora-00917: missing comma 

how can combine these ?

your nullif condition should not inside double-quotes sql string; , needs come first. the documentation:

  • the sql string appears after other specifications given column.

  • the sql string must enclosed in double quotation marks.

...

  • the sql string evaluated after nullif or defaultif clauses, before date mask.

so should be:

minquantity nullif minquantity = '.'   "to_number(:minquantity, '9999999999d999999', 'nls_numeric_characters='',.''')" 

(you can split 2 lines readability, both parts still apply `minquantity field).

in log that's reported as:

minquantity                          next     *   ,       character     null if minquantity = 0x2e(character '.')     sql string column : "to_number(:minquantity, '9999999999d999999', 'nls_numeric_characters='',.''')" 

(have got nls chars right way round? treating , decimal separator, while question suggests you're using .. either work long value enclosed in double-quotes, of course).
