No.
sql*loader has no other API involved.
THe sole functionality of sql*Loader is to bring the foreign/external data from a text file into an oracle table.
If you are looking the same functionality there are options.
1. use UTL_FILE.
you can read the textfile line by line and load into a table.
It has all API you need.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/u_file.htm#998101
2. Use an external table.
using this, you consider the external text file as an oracle table!.
so no API or whatsover is required ( restrictions apply).

>> i had worked it out
Worked out what?
You have provided no information here.
which method you used?
Post relevant information ( sqlldr controlfile / sample data/ table ddl / full error message ( because the sequence in which it originates is important) / oracle version / os , if using UTL_FILE your code , if using temporary table , then table ddl, your code)????

sorry, my poor english

I used the External Tables

firstly, I create the directory and the table

the table ddl like this:


=================================================
create or replace directory bdump
as 'E:\DBData\oradata\ORADIR\bdump';

drop table et_test;

create table et_test (f1 varchar2(100),
f2 varchar2(100),
f3 varchar2(100),
f4 varchar2(100),
f5 varchar2(100),
f6 varchar2(100),
f7 varchar2(100),
f8 varchar2(100),
f9 varchar2(100),
f10 varchar2(100),
f11 varchar2(100),
f12 varchar2(100)
)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory bdump
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
nobadfile
nodiscardfile
nologfile
fields terminated by ','
optionally enclosed by '"'
)
location('et_test.txt')
)
reject limit unlimited
/

=================================================

then, the data file et_test.txt like this(1,000,000 records)

"0031","0031","136200","test"," "," "," "," "," ","0000091912"," "," "
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3613998"," "," "," ","0000091913"," ","3613998"

"0031","0031","136200","test"," "," "," "," "," ","0000091916"," "," "
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3234095"," "," "," ","0000091917"," ","3234095"
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3225659"," "," "," ","0000091918"," ","3225659"
"0031","0031"," ","test"," ","6226245"," "," "," ","0000091919"," ","6226245"
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3224216"," "," "," ","0000091920"," ","3224216"
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3611022"," "," "," ","0000091921"," ","3611022"
"0031","0031","136200","test"," "," "," "," "," ","0000091922"," "," "
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3227588"," "," "," ","0000091923"," ","3227588"
"0031","0031","136200","test"," "," "," "," "," ","0000091924"," "," "
"0031","0031","136200","test"," "," "," "," "," ","0000091925"," "," "
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3229918"," "," "," ","0000091926"," ","3229918"
"0031","0031","136200","test"," "," "," "," "," ","0000091927"," "," "
"0031","0031","136200","test"," ","3220383"," "," "," ","0000091928"," ","3220383"
"0031","0031","136200","test"," "," "," "," "," ","0000091929"," "," "
"0031","0031"," ","test"," ","6229767"," "," "," ","0000091930"," ","6229767"

......


then, I query the data with the sql statement:

select * from et_test;

a error occured with this infomation:

"found record longer than buffer size supported,65506,in
E:\DBData\oradata\ORADIR\bdump\et_test.txt"

what can I do with the buffer size

how can I get all the records for the data file?

The data that you provided loads fine when I test it in my environment. Is this the exact data that causes the error? Where does your data come from? It could be that the newline character is not what is expected, resulting in it trying to read the whole file as one record. Also, posting to these forums may even alter it, invalidating any testing using copied and pasted data. Instead of RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE, you might try experimenting with other delimiters like:

RECORDS DELIMITED BY 0x'0a'

Hi Mahesh, you are right!

I am able to load the text file after using: RECORDS DELIMITED BY 0x'0a'

Thank you very much!
