Hi Guys,

I use sqlldr to load .csv files weekly via automated batch processing. Three files with diffrent names each time (same prefix but with current date) have to be loaded. Can you please help me on how to write my control file to cater this?

thanks

depends on your OS. Simple shell script can do the job

And this is the way to do it unless you choose to use an external table.

So use external table, it is easier than coding windows cmd/bat files.

With external tables, you treat the external files (text files) like an oracle table. No need to load data into database.
Michel has kindly pointed you to documentation for concepts and examples. Just go through it / search this forum.

Hello,
I like to share one problem with external table when we schedule to run daily for load text file from OS system.

I use external table to load export log file in database for checking purpose it is exported successfully or not.

but after scheduing i face ORA-07445 error like below

Errors in file f:\ora10g_home\admin\oramfe\udump\oramfe_ora_4800.trc:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ACCESS_VIOLATION] [_nsgbliuc+1162] [PC:0x6083370A] [ADDR:0xF060208] [UNABLE_TO_READ] []

Searched on metalink but didn't find anything useful.
so please first test external table option before implement on production database.

Oracle Version: 10.1.0.5.0(cpu july07 patch)
OS: Windows 2003 Server
