Can the Experts please help me. I have this BLOB and CLOB object on my C drive that I wanna load in my PUBS schema on my Oracle10g server running on windows. I ran the following commands but it gave me the error below:

E:\>sqlldr pubs/pubs@standby control=ctrlstandby01.ctl

SQL*Loader: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Mon Sep 10 15:24:15 2007

Copyright (c) 1982, 2004, Oracle. All rights reserved.

SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (ctrlstandby01.ctl)
SQL*Loader-553: file not found
SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.

Can you help me please. Actually, I have created a table named LOB_TAB to load this data into .. please how do I go about it.

Thanks and regards,

Cherish

This is an easy one. There is no file named ctrlstandby01.ctl in your directory where you are running sql loader.

Actually, I have my hard drive partitioned to C, E, and F. And I installed Oracle on E ... so, what do you think is the problem?

Thanks for your reply.

What part of "There is no file named ctrlstandby01.ctl in your directory where you are running sql loader." do you not understand?????

Every part of it. And that's why I'm asking again and trying to explain where my controlfile is.

Quote:

E:\>sqlldr pubs/pubs@standby control=ctrlstandby01.ctl

"E:\" suggests that you are running SQLLDR command when in root directory of drive E.

Error message ("Unable to open file (ctrlstandby01.ctl)") means that SQL*Loader executable was found, but it couldn't find the control file. The way you put it, it is expected that control file is also in the root directory of drive E.

What do

E:\> dir ctrlstandby01.ctl
E:\> dir *.ctl

say? Anything or nothing there?

What does search utility of your operating system say when you search for "ctrlstandby01.ctl" file?

Another method of ensuring that everything is accessible is to do it all from SQL*Plus, as mentioned in my response to a recent thread on the same subject:
