Ruth:

Are you using a delimited flat file via SQL Loader? Would the to_date function do the trick?

My 0.03 Euro's worth,

Good morning,

We are having a problem load a file containing dates in MON DD YYYY format into a database having and nls_date_format=YYYYMMDD. Is there a way to do an alter session command in the control file or the parameter file to that we can load this data?

We have had the production database down for 4 days with various problems and this is the last straw.

Thanks in advance,
Ruth
