The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Parsing double quotes out of sqlldr control file replace statement

Asked by densvensk in Unix Operating Systems, PL / SQL

I have an SQLLDR control file where fieldA that is going into the DB at times contains a double quote. I have tried to parse out the " in the following way:

...
fieldA "replace(:fieldA, '\"'', '\\\"'')",
...

This is attempting to take every instance of " in the incoming file and replace it with \" to allow the double quote to be put into the database. This runs without error, but the quotes are still causing problems upon insert, so the replacement isn't working right.

How should I modify this statement in order to allow the double quote in the input file field to be put into the DB?
