Hi,

Oracle Ver- 9.2.0.7

I have following data in text file.

TABLE_A
=======
REGNO	NUMBER(5),
NAME	VARCHAR2(30),
GRADE	NUMBER(1),
TOTAL	NUMBER(5,2)

Data
====
101,Smith,1,720
102,Arnold,B,519
103,Jackson,1,623

While loading through SqlLoader/External table, I want to ignore 3rd column. Is it possible.

Regards,
Ronald.

Yes have a look at:
Database Utilities
Part II SQL*Loader
Chapter 9 Field List Reference
Section Specifying Columns and Fields
Subsection Specifying Filler Fields
