Hi,

In which directory the datafile and controlfile should be. Is it neccesary to give complete path of controlfile while invking it.

sqlldr userid uname/password control=load.ctl.

or

sqlldr userid uname/passsowrd control=c;\data\load.ctl.

Both control file and datafile should be in same folder.

Thanks
KUmar

First the syntax is wrong.
you must post the sqlldr commands you used.

sqlldr userid=mds/mds control=c:\vikram\load.ctl

It would be a good idea to make sure that directory into which you have installed SQL*Loader executable is part of the operating system path variable. As far as I can tell, Oracle Universal Installer does it itself during installation process. Doing so, you'll invoke it using its name (SQLLDR, for example) which will then search for control and data file in current directory. It means that you don't have to specify any directory at all.
