Satish,
You can do a couple of things...in the query you could to a
replace(column1, chr(10), '~') (or some other unlikely character or
string), then do a replace again in the SQL*Loader script to get the
carriage returns back in there. Or you could use the query to put a
character in the front of each true record, something like
select '#' || col1, col2, col3, ....
and then use the SQL*Loader commands for concatenating records. Can't
remember offhand how that one works, though...
HTH,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SQL*LOADER problem

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Hi everyone.
Having this typical problem with sql*loader. I am extracting data out from
a table and this table has a field in which users have put in a new line
feed character. Now when I extract the data out using SQL*PLUS it
obviously has a problem
eg.
1 First line of stt 2333232
Second line
2 Full line 2323232
3 Again a partial 2323232
line.
Now if such a table was extracted to a txt file, the sqlldr runs into a
problem of getting the second half of the line as expected. Any ideas how
this could be avoided ?
Hope I explained that okay.
