Title: RE: Textfile into oracle

There is an option for filler fields in sqlldr control fields. This way you can skip unwanted fields in the csv file. Found it the other day when someone sent me a file to load with an extra field in the beginning of the record.   The format for the field is: 'AA filler char, ', this will skip the field.   Search for filler in the sqlldr docs.   Yechiel Adar Mehish ----- Original Message ----- From: Clinton Naude To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 4:27 PM Subject: RE: Textfile into oracle Yes, use Sqlloader... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 12:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Textfile into oracle Hallo, I have this excelfile. Is it possible to import this into an oracle table. This file is supposed to be located on unix machine from the beginning and the import into an oracle table would be done from unix. How should I name the fields in the oracle table. I mean should I use the 9-10 different field names in the excelfile.  There is at least 100 different columns in this excelfile. Is it possible to import a file like that into oracle table, Please help me with some hints. (See attached file: try.xls) Thanks in advance Roland
