Just set the environment variable before running sqlldr:

   export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='MON DD YYYY'

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
