I have a date column (called start_date) that I'am trying to
populate using SQL LOADER. The date format from the flat file is
as follows:
040902
022102
021901

Im my control file, I have specified the date as follows:

START_DATE "decode(:start_date,'000000',null,to_date(:start_date,'mmddyy'))"
But I it does not work.
Can any one tell me what's going on?
