If I have a lookup table like this:
(ID (sequence column),
PARENT (self referring column, refers to ID),
NAME,
DESC etc)

how can I specify the correct value for the PARENT column in a .ctl file without reading it from a data file? Is there an option where both the ID and the PARENT column can be dynamically specified in the control file?

I didnt find anything on
http://www.fors.com/orasupp/rdbms/utils/140121_1.HTM.

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to dynamically generate values for PARENT and ID or
or what?
Did you try with sequence parameter?

or try this method (usually used for parent/child tables). But the concept is same.
