Lucia,

In conventional path, there is a restriction for RSZ to 255. If you use direct path loading(direct=true), the problem would be fixed.

Lister,

I have a column which was set up to varchar2(4000). Somehow the loader rejects some of the records indicating Record xx: Rejected - Error on table ICOD_FAQ_TYPE, column FAQ_TEXT.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length. However, if I checked the .bad file and counted the column, it is not over 4000 characters. Is that because some of the special character cause the record rejection? Has anyone had these problems?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Lucia
