| I'm trying to create an external table definition.
|
| The only problem I am having is that the last field could be a null value
| and I have no idea how to define the external table to handle this. Here is
| the external table definition as it currently is:
|
| CREATE TABLE BIS.X_FRANCHISE
| ( franchise CHAR(3),
| franchise_name VARCHAR2(35),
| active CHAR(1),
| na_assoc CHAR(3) )
| ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
| (
| TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
| DEFAULT DIRECTORY baseball_source
| ACCESS PARAMETERS
| (
| RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
| NOBADFILE
| NOLOGFILE
| FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
| (
| franchise,
| franchise_name,
| active,
| na_assoc
| )
| )
| LOCATION('teamsfranchises.txt')
| )
| REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
|
| Thanks.
|

In FIELDS clause add:
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/et_params.htm#sthref1747 http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/et_params.htm#i1009725
