    SQL Loader control file to create duplicate row

    Hi all,

    I have data file like below,

    NF8,TLEV,F
    NF9,"EXPORT,UNLEADED",F
    NM2,"EXPORT,LEADED",C

    I need to import this data into table, whereas the secound& third row should be duplicated since it has internal comma's

    Final value in table should be,
    NF8 TLEV F
    NF9 EXPORT F
    NF9 UNLEADED F
    NM2 EXPORT C
    NM2 LEADED C

    Thanks for your suggestion and effort taken to think abt it , Any kind of ideas is welcomed

    Can't do that using just SQL Loader

    Define the file as an external table, parse it via PL/SQL script -you might have to resort to cursors- and create your final table as desired.

    Thanks for early reply, looking forward to implement the same,
    but i have one more idea to add with it, please verify whether it is feasible,

    Like using simple select query can we,
    Split the single row into two row, whr one row with have substr() till comma,
    and other row from comma.

    if possible please update with code snippets for the same.
