Hello

I am using sql loader to load a text file in a temporary table . My problem is that the file does not contain one field. But from my application I can get the value of the field to be inserted in the table.

e.g I have table Temp_hs
( CompanyId Varchar2(10),
Name Varchar2(35),
Address1 Varchar2(35) );

But the file being provided for a particular company has only name and address. I want to load the company name also in the table.

Any idea how I can pass the company Id value for sqlloader to insert it in the temp table.

Thanks

Have a look at Setting a Column to a Constant Value
