By default, sqlldr will use the date format specified in the init.ora file
when loading character strings into date columns. Alternatively you can set
NLS_DATE_FORMAT in your OS session before running sqlldr, or specify a
datatype and sql string following the column name (i.e., DATEOF DATE
"DD-MON-RR")
