Constant Date in SQL*Loader Control File
I can't figure out how to specify a constant date for a column
in a SQL*Loader control file and can't find any examples.
I tried:
LOADDATE CONSTANT TO_DATE('20030626', 'MMDD'),
but I get this error message in the log file:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
Can anyone tell me the correct syntax?

RE: Constant Date in SQL*Loader Control File
Dave,
I believe if you specify in the .cal file:
loaddate to_date('20030626', 'MMDD'),
That will default the date to what you want. Now if the date is sometimes specified
that's a different story.

Re: Constant Date in SQL*Loader Control File
David,
Have you tried removing the around the TO_DATE call? The indicate a
character string and Oracle is unable to translate that string into something
acceptable for a DATE datatype.
