RE: SQL loader query

In a recent mail on a similar topic someone said that in 8i there is a FILLER field in SQL*Loader that allows you to jump over a column. Prior to 8i you are stuck.

I have been recommended a brand new book on SQL*Loader. Not yet bought or read it.

It is available in the States but not yet in the UK. e.g. Amazon.com

you can use the skip option of the sql loader. in ur case it should be skip=1(if headings are also separated by commas) can have the full help by typing sqlldr help=y at the command prompt.
