Re: How to get SQL Loader to skip a column in a CSV file?

Most programs that can save files in a comma delimited ( or more generally, character delimited ) format use csv as the filename extension....that way, other programs that can read such files ( Excel, etc ) know what to do with them...
As such, csv is a 'standard' way of referring to such files....
