SQL*Loader for XP won't Load [message #132392]

Hello, I'm a newbie and am trying to learn to load data into an Oracle table. I've looked at the documentation, and tahiti and I am unable to load data.

The Table, Test1, consists of one field, State. My instance is called Test.

The data file looks like this:

"NJ",

The control file looks like this:

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:\mystates.csv'
INTO TABLE TEST1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(STATE CHAR)

The command line looks like this:

sqlldr userid=system/allan1@TEST control=C:\mystates.ctl

{I'm running this using Start-->Run
in Windows XP.)

Thanks in advance.

sql*loader ctl file should work the same for windows.

oracle@mutation#cat a.ctl
LOAD DATA
infile 'a.data'
insert INTO TABLE a  FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," optionally enclosed by '"' trailing nullcols
(
state
)
oracle@mutation#desc mutation scott.a

Table:scott.a
 Name                                Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------- -------- ------------------------
 STATE                                        VARCHAR2(2)

oracle@mutation#cat a.data
"NJ",
oracle@mutation#sqlldr userid=scott/tiger control=a.ctl

If you are going to run it using start and run, then you need to include the full path for your sqlldr.exe file, which should be in the bin subdirectory of your oralce home directory. For example, my oracle home directory is d:\oracle\ora92, so my command line, using the scott schema, would be:

d:\oracle\ora92\bin\sqlldr userid=scott/tiger control=c:\mystates.ctl
