Thanks, but I forgot to mention that I am able to log on through sqlplus. It's only sqlldr that has this problem. If it is a tns issue shouldn't sqlplus not work either ?

are you using sqlldr and sqlplus from the same machine?
Please post your session.

Both sqlldr and sqlplus are run from the same script. The sqlplus works.

sqlplus $DB_USER/$DB_PASSWORD << eof
set serveroutput on ;
select 'test' from dual ;
eof

sqlldr  userid=$DB_USER/$DB_PASSWORD \
            control=$CTLFile \
            data=$InputDir/$File \
            log=$LogFile \
            bad=$BadFile \
            discard=$DiscardFile \
            ROWS=500 \
            ERRORS=999999

The output as follows

SQL*Loader-941: Error during describe of table TEMP_UNBILLED
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE

The call to the sqlldr is followed by a PL/SQL script working on the same table which also executes properly. This is a problem happening during implementation. It has worked fine on other servers

This is an issue with all scripts using sqlldr not specific to this one alone

You are not issuing any pl/sql here
And it works for me.
Something is wrong with your environment.
How do you pass the username/password?

oracle@mutation#cat somescript
export DB_USER=scott
export DB_PASSWORD=tiger
sqlplus -s $DB_USER/$DB_PASSWORD << eof
set serveroutput on ;
select 'test' from dual ;
eof
sqlldr  userid=$DB_USER/$DB_PASSWORD control=dept.ctl
oracle@mutation#somescript

'TES

Yes I haven't pasted the following pl/sql block, but it is executing it anyway. The username/password are set as environment variables. The same way you've specified it

export DB_USER=scott

Like I'd said this is happening only on one server, it is working fine everywhere else(HP-UX OS and a non-english DB incidentally)

So is it possible that it is a problem with sqlldr itself ?

May be. I have no idea.
In a wild guess, did you check the existence of the table?
Is that a table or view?
If so try this.
create table sometable_from_view as select * from myview;
use sqlldr to load into some_table_from_view;
insert into myview (select * from some_table_from_view);

Yes, the table exists. Checked all that. Anyway if the table doesn't exist it usually gives an 'object doesnt exist' error. Also I have replaced the

select 'test' from dual
with
select * from temp_unbilled

The sqlplus bit works fine. Since sqlldr is connecting as the same user, it cant be anything to do with the table's visiblity, could it.

temp_unbilled is a table and the table is empty. So it shouldn't be an issue with the insert. Anyway the ctlfile is truncating into the table

LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE TEMP_UNBILLED
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(
    id,
    anumber    "'+' || :anumber",
    amount
)

You think using an external table would help ? Im guessing its some environment problem like you'd said, since its working everywhere else, but I just can't seem to figure out what it is.

Thanks for your time anyway

What else is 'different' in that particular installation?
What is different in input datafile?
I cannot reproduce the case. So i am kind of 'left-in-dark' Smile

May be something is wrong with that particular sqlldr executable.
(did you try loading some other test load?)
And
In your script, why dont you strip all the parameters (rows/errors) and do a simple a load?

sqlldr userid=scott/tiger control=controlfile.ctl

Yeah, a direct load from cmd line worked. Its an env problem, figure a wrong oracle instance was being used. Thanks a lot
