RE: Load a textfile

Roland,

SQL*Loader can do this, you will need to create a control file specifying FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' and the fields you would like to import - something like:

----copy to .ctl file in notepad-----

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'path/to/your/file/file_name.txt' <------------ Your text file [INSERT]/[APPEND] INTO TABLE {USER}.{TABLE} FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';'
(FIELD1 DATATYPE,

 FIELD2 DATATYPE)

The syntax for SQL*Loader is something like:

C:\sqlldr username/password control='path/to/your/controlfile'

This is in REALLY basic form, for more options and to learn about using SQL*Loader consult the Oracle Utilities Manual available at your local technet website :)

Cheers

Mark
