RE: Awfully annoying SQLLDR problem

I don't you *can* avoid the larger issue. Oracle 8 has undergone some radical changes underneath the covers. I would expect SQLLDR to have changed just as radically...

No you are reading correctly. I have the data on a server with a 7.3.2.3 database and am using that databases' binary sqlldr to load into the 8.1.5 database. The problem is a timing issue. I need to execute the load from the 7.3.2.3 server as part of a larger script. I cannot ensure that the load will be executed i a timely manner if it is run on the distant server.

Whether or not you agree with the timing issue I describe, I'd really appreciate an answer to the Oracle problem. I don't want to get into the larger issue of why I have to run it from one server vs. another. From an Oracle POV it should work either way.

thanks,

..tom
