#6 primary key constraint error

[Gretchen Baldus]

Using ArcSDE 8.2 with Oracle 9i on Solaris 8.

I'm running the dbms2sde -o point command
using the -stable option, to load into Oracle
Spatial. I'm receiving the following error:

SE_table_create_primarykey_constraint
encountered a -51 error: Underlying DBMS error.

I've tried it with and without a key column
defined, and I've tried both disabling and
enabling all constraints on the table in Oracle
prior to running.

SDE help is no help -- just reports a vague i/o
error. Any ideas?

Hi Gretchen,

Can you copy and paste the dbms2sde command-line and screen output into another message? Can you also tell
me if the table you're spatially enabling into already has a primary key defined -- if it was created by dbms2sde or
what it's history is?

Thanks

Thanks for getting back to me. Here is the output from two
separate tables that I'm working with -- I'm using the point
option with one and the quad option with the other. Also --
both original tables (wpa_map and wpa_point) were originally
csv files that I loaded into Oracle using SQL Loader. So both
key fields haven't been specifically defined as primary keys
that I'm aware of. Thanks!

For fastest performance, use -stable, -load, and -buffer.

Can you upload the CSV files and the SQL Loader commands? I will debug this on my end.

I'll attach three files: wpamap.csv, wpapoint.csv, and sqlldr.txt
which contains both import.ctl files and table definitions for
performing the sqlldr command. The syntax used for both is
as follows:

sun1% sqlldr userid=sde/sde control=import.ctl
log=import.log bindsize=500000

I tested this against ArcSDE 8.1.2 and Oracle 8.1.7 and I didn't get an error, however, I would recommend against
having a column name like "objectid" in your -stable which is a column that ArcSDE wants to create in the -l table

To prevent this from happening again I may have to hard-code into dbms2sde something that disallows source
table columns named "objectid". Can you tell me a little about what your intent was by putting this column into
your source table?

Did this error happen the very first time you ran dbms2sde, and the -l table did not previously exist?
When you are making repeated attempts, are you deleting the -l table or "overwriting" (actually appending to) it?

Would you run dbms2sde again on wpa_map and specify a table you know for sure does not exist the -l option,
like sde.wpabox1217

I realize this is a lot of questions -- you can email me privately (markaohrenschal@users.sourceforge.net) with a
phone number if we should talk about this in person.
