Try something like the lines below, as 9 is the ASCII code for a TAB :

        load data
        infile *
        INTO TABLE experiment_with_tab_delimiter
        FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'9'
        (textcol1, textcol2)
        BEGINDATA

        Hello: 

        I'm new to SQL Loader. Is there a way to code in control file that

can separate 'a tab' and 'a blank space' ?

        I use "FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE", but it will TERMINATE a field when there is a space or a tab. However, the data fields were separated only by the "tab", not 'a space'. Is it possible to identify the two?

        Thanks
