Hi,

I am trying to load the US states in my table (details (state varchar2(20)).

Here is my control file

load data 
infile 'd:\states.txt'
append
into table details(state)


The loader is just loading the first character from the two characters of the state names
eg A for Al, C for CT, D for DE.

Would you have any idea why it is not working the way it should?

What happens if you modify the control file to
into table details
  (state char terminated by whitespace)
