Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Formatting time fields in SQL*Loader
hi
i cant understand your problem more specifically. Any way if you want to
load date field in to the table thro' sqlloader, querry the date field with
to_date option. i.e.,
SELECT a,TO_DATE(b),
FROM    XXXX;
Now if you load into the table, the b field will be date datatype.
make sure the table is empty before loading
