Hi All,
I'm having a scenario, wherein I'm using sqlloader to upload data from input files to oracle table.
The input file can be following type.
1. Tab demilited values.
2. Fixed length values seperated by comma.
3. Delimited file - Here I can select any delimiter - semicolon, tab etc.
The delimiter value is being stored in another table(XYZ).
So, my question is do I need to create different control files for each of the delimiter?
Can I have one control file and before calling sqlloader I'll check the value of delimiter in table (XYZ) and change my control file's - field terminated by - parameter dynamically.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks in Advance,
Smith

Yes, this is the way to do it with SQL*Loader.
Or you can use an external table and alter it with the correct parameters each time you want to use it.
See Database Administrator's Guide
Chapter 15 Managing Tables
Section Managing External Tables
