Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: SQLLDR question
I'm not a sqlloader expert, so take with a large grain of salt. If you are
using conventional path, a series of 'insert' statements are executed. This
may cause the & to be interpreted as the variable indicator. If you are
using direct path, it may create a block of rows and then directly place
them in the proper extent without using the SQL layer. So, try direct path
and see if it works, but no promises. Another thought is to do a search and
replace of the data and add the escape character (\) before each &. Again,
try it, but no promises.

I am trying to load data via sqlldr (8.1.6.3 on Solaris 8). A couple of records keep kicking out. Because on the commonality between the records that are kicked out, I have a question.
Does sqlldr treat an & the same way that sqlplus does. In other words, if one of the fields in a records has an & embedded in it, will sqlldr reject the record? If so, is there a way around this?
TIA
