Thanks for the quick reply,
As you said we can eliminate the columns in loading but my problem with structure i want to load all the columns i don't want to miss any one but the order of the columns are not same as database and i can't ask people to change the source file format right now since i am directly getting files from production and the table has been used by so many people there is no other way i found so far i could just doing manually planning to write one control file which can care of.
File Type: Comma delimited
Data base: Oracle 8i
Hope you can understand the problem....

Hi Michale,
Let me give more detail probably it might give bit clear picture
Following is the table strure
CREATE TABLE TEST_ORDER
(
ONE NUMBER,
TWO DATE,
THREE VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
FOUR VARCHAR2(20 BYTE)
)
i have file which has column order like
Column names: THREE,ONE,FOUR,TWO ( As i mentioned comma seperated)
My control control file as follows ....
LOAD DATA
INFILE test_order.csv
INTO TABLE wwops.test_order
TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
ONE,
TWO DATE 'DD/MM/YY',
THREE,
FOUR
)
When i tried to load data using this way it is returning error...

To match the file i have to suffle the column order in the file..
if u r dealing with comman seperated values sql loader will deal the values based on seperated values only correct me if i am wrong. in that case even if i mention the control file in given order it takes data like
here is sample file data
Three ONE FOUR TWO
----- --- ------------- ---------
XX 1234 UNITED STATES 1/31/2007
The above data should load to the databae table in the following way
ONE TWO THREE FOUR
---- ----------- ------ --------------
1234 1/31/2007 XX UNITED STATES
for this i need to do mapping like given second column should go to the first column in the database..
Hope this helps in understanding.. I am really thankfull to you for the quick responces..

Maybe the following exemple will help you to understand what I mean.
I create a table with 2 columns col1 and col2, a file with data for col2 and col1 (note the reverse order) and load it:
SQL> create table t (col1 varchar2(20), col2 varchar2(20));
Table created.
SQL> host type t.dat
forCol2,forCol1
SQL> host type t.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE t.dat
INTO TABLE t
TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COL2, COL1)
SQL> host sqlldr userid=michel/michel control=t.ctl data=t.dat

Commit point reached - logical record count 1
SQL> select * from t;
COL1 COL2
-------------------- --------------------
forCol1 forCol2
1 row selected.
See this is in the correct fields in the end.

Michel
