Re: sql loader-dates

Try using the to_date command for the column data in question in your control file: ex: load data
append
into table xxx
trailing nullcols
( column1 terminated by "," "to_date(:column1,'mm/dd/yyyy')", column2.....

Hi ,

In my data file i have dates in the format e.g. 12/19/2001, but when loader tries to insert this into the table , the table is expecting date in the format 19-DEC-01
so it rejects the data.
What can i do to get around this?

regards
