Hi Walt,Pedro and others,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.It should help me a lot in sorting out my problem.
with best regards,
suren
Hi,
I had a similar situation migrating from sqlserver7 to oracle8. My basic problem was with carriage returns. The quotes were OK as I was using text delimiters.
I'll describe what I've done:
bcp DB.usr.customer out d:\ddrive\CUSTOMER.dat -w -t "<end>" -r "<row>\n" -U" " -P"" -S ntsqlserver
:1,$ s/^M/<prg>/g --> substitute ^M by <prg>. Will need them later. :1,$ s/<row><prg>/<end>/g --> take off the <prg> marks from real records. Notice that they were initially <row>^M.
load data
infile 'CUSTOMER.dat'
into table CUSTOMER
fields terminated by '<end>'
(MANDATORID ,
CUSTOMERID ,
COMPANYFORM "replace(:COMPANYFORM,'<prg>',chr(10))"
ANNOTATION CHAR(1000) "replace(:ANNOTATION,'<prg>',chr(10))"
)
<prg> are substituted for CR (chr(10)) when the records are loaded. Default buffer for sql*loader is 255 characters. For larger fiels we have to specify how much we need to use (ex. CHAR(1000)).
Well... it works.

I've faced the same problems using sqlloader against large amounts of formatted data, migrating data from MySQL to Oracle. I solved my problems by exporting the MySQL data using a special record delimeter, then specifying the delimiter as a hex string in the control file. Since you're on 8i you'll be able to do this - it's a new feature, I believe.

Dear all,
I am facing lot of problems in loading the data from flat files(generated
from progress database) to Oracle 8i database.
One of the columns in the data contains a text(maximum 4000 characters)
which contains some formatted(carriage return keyssingle quotes ,double
quotes etc..) data
One of my friends helped me a lot in reaching out a near solution for this.
I am facing difficulty when there is a huge data as I will have to do lot of
formatting in the dat file.
At present I am managing with the help of Sql Server(MS)'s DTS tool.But it
is rejecting lot of records saying buffer size is small.I am not finding
options to increase the buffer size.May be it is OS/Sql Sqrver related.
I would like to know if any of you had problems in loading such data and how
you overcome.Pl suggest me if there are any links or third party tools
available.
Your help is highly appreciated.
