I am having a problem loading data from fixed length data file to Oracle table using SQLLOAD. In the data file there are blanks in the date column sometime. I have try decode, but none of the dates are populated in the field. In the Oracle table the field data type is date. Have anyone encounted this problem before.

trailing nullcols
(
shared_member nullif shared_member= "(null)",
bdbudg nullif bdbudg ="(null)",
idc1 nullif idc1="(null)",

Hello guys and girls, please help me.

I'm just beginning with oracle, being confronted with
the following problem making the ctl.file.

The database contains � table with one single field, let say, why not, money : datatype number(8,2).

The input file is variable of length, contains the
delimiter &#124, for example :

54123.45
34.20|

it's in the input file regarded as dec(8,2); the unload-specification from an informix-database.

how to make the field specification ?

money integer ?
money dec(8,2) ?
maybe with zones ?

I've tried several things, but it didnt work out.
So, if you have a good suggestion, mail me.

The last question : do you know a website with fabulous
information about sql Loader ? please give it to me.

Well, that's it.
I want to excuse me for my poor knowledge, as i said before, i'm no pro, not at all. Just beginning,

with friendly regards from the netherlands,

Koos
