SQL*Loader

[s_radhak]

I would like to create a SQL*Loader control file to import data from a comma delimited text file.

The data has to be imported into many tables and the tables have one to many relationship.

Eg: for one record in table X, I have many records in table Y and for one record in table Y, I have many records in table Z.

How should I format the text file?

What is the format for the SQL*Loader control file?

Thank you.

below is the general format of the control file:

+++++++++++
LOAD DATA
Infile [path & filename of .csv file]
DiscardMax
APPEND/INSERT/TRUNCATE
Into table [table name]
Fields Terminated By ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
[Field names separated by commas]
+++++++++++


There are more parameters you can add to the control file. Visit the site below for more details.
