Can I get the total number of records in SQL ldr before loading the data.?

Is it possible to track the rec cnt while loading?

I hv a req: Want to skip header and footer record from loading to a table from a set of records.

1. You can use any pl/sql routine that uses UTL_FILE to open the text file and count the records

2.
use ROWS option.
it will specify an output, for every rows=n values specified
in first example, an output is displayed for every record
and in second for every two records

bash-2.03$ sqlldr userid=mag/mag control=member.ctl rows=1

3. u can use some os functionalities to remove the first and last line of the dat file
if the records span the lines, u have to use utl_FIle.

if you have a really huge datafile to be loaded...dont use ROW option with a low value..acutally row=n specifies the interval of commit. if rows=1 , sqlldr commits for every record.
