Hi,

I am trying to upload a | separated file using SQL*Loader. In my table there are 2 date fields. And the data is in format mm/dd/yyyy.� In the control file I have given:

start_date char separated by &#124,

Can somebody tell me the way to upload the data.

Ankur

PS:�If I remove�the date field, file gets uploaded without any problem.
