RE: SQL loader query

Could you not simply open the .csv file and manually delete the first row?

As for your second question, I believe you can just not mention the column you want to leave out in the control file.

Friends,

I have the classic case of a comma separated text file which I want to upload
and I need to know how can I enforce the following behavior of the SQL Loader:

1. To ignore the first row of the data file (which contains the column titles)
2. Avoid uploading of a column from the middle of the data file

Thanks in advance,
Pierre
