I want to load data in an Oracle database via SQL Loader. Here is my control file. I cut out the middle part that its not too long..
OPTIONS (BINDSIZE=512000, ROWS=10000)
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
APPEND
INTO TABLE EIDESWTDOC
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '~'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS (
MANDT CHAR(6)"NVL(:MANDT,' ')"
, SWITCHNUM CHAR(40)"NVL(:SWITCHNUM,' ')"
, POD CHAR(44)"NVL(:POD,' ')"
, SWITCHTYPE "NVL(:SWITCHTYPE, 0.0)"
, OWNER CHAR(20)"NVL(:OWNER,' ')"
, SWTVIEW "NVL(:SWTVIEW, 0.0)"
, MOVEINDATE DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD'
, MOVEOUTDATE DATE 'YYYY-MM-DD'
.....
, SP_INITIATOR CHAR(20)"NVL(:SP_INITIATOR,' ')"
, _IDEXGE_NONFIXED CHAR(2)"NVL(:_IDEXGE_NONFIXED,' ')"
, _IDEXGE_MRPERIO CHAR(4)"NVL(:_IDEXGE_MRPERIO,' ')"
)
Because of the columns beginning with an underscore I get a syntax error (illegal combination of non-alphanumerical characters). I already tried quoting it but nothing works. Has anybody a solution for this issue?
Best regards, Chris
Hi Quoting seems to work.
desc temp ;

But whenever i try without quoting am getting the exact same error that your reported
