No you are reading correctly.  I have the data on a server with a 7.3.2.3
database and am using that databases' binary sqlldr to load into the 8.1.5
database.  The problem is a timing issue.  I need to execute the load from the
7.3.2.3 server as part of a larger script.  I cannot ensure that the load will
be executed i a timely manner if it is run on the distant server.

Whether or not you agree with the timing issue I describe, I'd really appreciate
an answer to the Oracle problem.  I don't want to get into the larger issue of
why I have to run it from one server vs. another.  From an Oracle POV it should
work either way.

thanks,

..tom
