Ken, This is what I did once to do a similar exercise. I defined a seq dk_seq as in my case in the database and used the following control file. The next value of sequence should depend on how you define the sequence.
LOAD DATA INFILE 'sysx.csv' TRUNCATE INTO TABLE dk_tmp FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' trailing nullcols ( CUSIP char, ISIN char, SMF char, STATUS char, REASON char, ELG_DATE char, CURRENCY char, MATURITY char, seqno "dk_seq.nextval" ) -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 11:01 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Tom: Ran into another problem. I need to generate a sequence number for one of the DB columns. Here is the CTL code: document_number sequence (max,800000,1), It runs but I keep getting the 800000 that doubles for each record (800000, 1600000, 3200000, etc.). The book only shows the syntax but doesn't give an example of how it works. Any ideas? Thanks, Ken -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 7:35 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: SQL Loader Commit Point? Ken Did you look at the Sql*Loader log file? Maybe all your records were rejected and placed into the .bad file? Does a .bad file exist? Sql*Loader does not really consider rejected records an error - it just moves them there. Hope this helps.
