Hi all,

I have Oracle8i Release 8.1.5 running under Windows 98.

I have a large CSV file with 87 columns that I want to import into oracle. I failed. So, I started using INSERT command, in SQL, with fewer and fewer columns. Finally I was succefull. The INSERT statement accepts column names only up to 231 charachters.
How can I increase the size to accomodate 87 columns names?

For the referece enclosed are the two commands. One without error and other with error 'ORA-00917: missing comma'

Can someone help please?

Thanks in advance.
