Make sure your environment NLS_LANG matches how the data is encoded in your flat file.
Also, does the database characterset handle whatever special characters you are trying to import?

Please respond to Subject: sql loader control file help
ORACLE-L
I am not, by any means, a SQL*Loader expert (Jonathan, I keep meaning to get your book!)
Here's the thing:
I have a flat file with character data that includes special characters
(like accents and diacritical marks over letters). When I load the data
in using SQL*Loader, the special characters disappear and are replaced
by the letter (so Dvorák goes on as Dvorak).
How can I get the data in as it should be? I've been reading and will continue to read the fine manual, but I'm not finding this...
Help!
