I don't know of any such option in sqlloader. But, you can do one thing copy the 100 records from the file and create a new file and try to load that one. Hope this helps. Regards, Inder -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 11:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L

How about using external table? You define the table as external having one field. I think that select * from such table will bring you the lines in order and then you can do whatever you want with the data. Yechiel Adar Mehish - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L

Hello Shankar, You can'n rely on rowid in your case. It would be much better to add additional field into your table and write rownum to it. You can generate record number automatically by SQL Loader. Here is simple example how to do it: LOAD DATA INFILE 'yourfile.dat' BADFILE 'load.bad' INSERT

Trang, I had a similar problem a while back and the answer was to have the clause "TERMINATED BY WHITESPACES" as the option for the last column. Yours continues to the next line because of the termination and enclosed clause. You might be confusing the load by saying it is TERMINATED BY and ENCL
