Krishna, 

Have you tried putting a . at the end of your file name when calling
sqlldr?  Or can you rename the file to be emp.dat at the os level?

Hi,

Oracle 8.1.7 on SUN Solaris 5.8

I want to load a datafile with no extension into Oracle using
SQL*Loader. But it looks for a file with a .dat extension. This is the
exact error message I got:

SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (emp.dat)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file
specified.

I have tried a number of ways but in vain. I understand I can rename
the file. But, is there any other way to load a datafile with no
extension?

TIA,
Krishna
