In a recent mail on a similar topic someone said that in 8i there is a
FILLER field in SQL*Loader that allows you to jump over a column. Prior to
8i you are stuck.
I have been recommended a brand new book on SQL*Loader. Not yet bought or
read it.

you can use the skip option of the sql loader. in ur case it should be
skip=1(if headings are also separated by commas)
can have the full help by typing sqlldr help=y at the command prompt.
