Post your controlfile:
ASKER
LOAD DATA
replace
INTO TABLE xxxx
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
ID POSITION( 1:9)
, EMAIL_TX POSITION(10) TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE
,DT DATE ""MM/DD/YYYY""
)
replace
INTO TABLE xxxx
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
ID POSITION( 1:9)
, EMAIL_TX POSITION(10) TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE
,DT DATE ""MM/DD/YYYY""
)
The controlfile needs to be WITHOUT THE POSITION c.r.a.p. exactly like the following:
If your data is ins a separate file, then use the alternate control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
REPLACE
INTO TABLE xxxx
FIELDS TERMINATED BY " " TRAILING NULLCOLS
-- This is a TAB -----^
(
ID
, EMAIL_TX
, DATE_ASWELL DATE "MM/DD/YYYY"
)
