getting error :

Record 102: Rejected - Error on table xx, column b1.
ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column

but column size is same of the xx table in both the servers.

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'xx'
BADFILE 'xx.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'xx.dsc'
APPEND

There is a difference in DDL of table in both databases.
Check whether they have been defined the same way.

Using 10g?
I was able to reproduce the case only in 10g. 9i works fine.
seems '~' is the problem. It is been treated as new line.
Can you have any other delimters?

I'm using Oracle 9i. In Source and target database the size of the b1 filed is varchar2(16) not null. But if I increase the b1 filed of the target database to varchar2(20), Sql loader, loading data successfully. How it is possible? I'm inserting 1000 recors, how I verify whether, all records inserted successfully?

Pl. Help.

Regards,
Alina.
