Start by reading the SQL*Loader FAQ at http://www.orafaq.com/faqloadr.htm followed by the relevant chapters of the Oracle Utilities Users Guide.

If you have any specific questions, please let us know.

Best regards.

Do you have spaces or other strange characters in the path name? Have you checked if it's case sensitive?

Please post the command, control file and complete error so we can look at it.

If we cannot solve the problem here, you will need to log a TAR with Oracle Support for assistance.

Best regards.

Dear Frank i need your opinion on this. I have a a csv file which consist of a record with a a few data fields. My problem is that some of the datas in the field are empty. can sqlldr import null value for some field??If can where do i set it. And i have one column that consists the following data. I put the datatype of the column as DATE. But it seems sqlldr rejected it because it's not a valid month.I need to import these file into the oracle.Do u have any suggestion???and one more thing can i set my date to "DD/MM/YY"??I tried to do that but the sqlldr trigger an error saying that invalid month.Really need your help.Thank u so much.Your help is highly appreciated.

shazzyncs,

You are asking questions which you yourself should be easily able to answer simply by reading through the freely available oracle documentation on sqlloader. Many are probably in the faq on this site that Frank gave you the link for earlier.

If you would like us to take time to help you, then please take time to help yourself by reading the documentation.

Not a problem, best way to learn is to read and then try it out on a test/dev database. Next time you get stuck post your question as a new topic and people we'll be happy to help if we can.

Oh and there is a sticky message on the sql/plsql newbie forum which is suggested reading for everyone.
