Use <column-name> DATE "mm/dd/yyyy",

This should work. Also, look into getting the book "SQL*Loader The Definitive Guide" from O'Reilly.

Hope this helps,

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
