>one logical record on multiple lines.The number of lines is not fixed.
So how do you know where 1 record ends & the next record begins?
I hope you realize that if each record in the csv contained a complete "logical" record, it would be trivial to load.
There is NO guarantee that sqlldr can load every flat file.

>.I have manually inserted the asterisk.
Are you going to do the same for every file that gets loaded?
What happens when you insert an asterisk in the wrong spot or forget to add one where it is needed?
>By using sql loader will I be able to load data which is in that kind of a format???
I give up. Will you?
What happened when you tried it?

If you put your asterisks in the right places and make your control file match, and make sure your columns are large enough to hold the data, then you can load it. You will need to figure out how to parse out your city, state, zip, and phone. It would be much better if you could get the data in a better format. Where does it come from? Does somebody give it to you like this or do you extract it from some other source yourself?

I have almost same .ctl for this loading.But the thing is how can one insert a new line indicator say '*' or anything manually.I mean to say that if the file has many records.Any idea how to do it by some script(.sh or .bat)? May be by reading some file and data attributes.
Thanks
Mandeep

It is, of course, ridiculous to have to manually insert anything. Obviously, this data comes from somewhere, but the original poster has not responded to questions regarding the source of the data. If it is extracted from some other database into a text file, then it can be selected with an asterisk or some other distinguishing character(s) concatenated in front of the first column or after the last column. With some data, there are identifying things within the data that can be used. Wherever, this data comes from, it should be extractable in a more easily loadable format. There is nothing distinctive about this data, that would allow you to automatically insert an asterisk in the right place. If you could tell where to insert the asterisk, you wouldn't need the asterisk.

Somehow, I think mandy has transformed into mandeepmandy, even though their IP addresses are different. Mandy claims to be from Pittsburgh and the IP address of mandeepmandy is located in Pittsburgh.

Hi Barb,
Thanks for your help.But it was very difficult to load that data so had some one write a vb script to get the data in a single row..I usually get the data from our clients..
Also I am not Mandeep ..He is a different guy..
Thanks again and once again appreciate your time and help.
