[Quoted] I have a flat file delimited by "tab" and I need to load it into a three-column table where the 3rd column is a clob. The problem is the 3rd colum in the flat file is continue by "\" (see below). How do I get this data in using sqlldr? I tried (continueif this = "\") but appearantly sqlldr doesn't like it.

Thanks in advance.
