Hi
Starting with 8i you have the "filler"option in SQL*Loader control file,
which does what you want. In older versions I don't think you can do it
directly. Maybe ask Jared how to make a perl script to remove the column
you don't want :-)
A very roundabout way is to load entire file into temp table and than do an
insert as select from thru SQL*Plus.
