here is description of persons table

SQL> desc kailas.persons
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
ID NUMBER
PNAME VARCHAR2(100)
BALANCE NUMBER
RATE NUMBER
JOIN_DATE DATE

so you mean to say that i should change the 'integer external' to
number in control file.

I changed the integer external to integer but it gives me following error

[oracle@localhost dbs]$ sqlldr kailas/kailas control=/oraeng/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/dbs/persons.ctl log=persons.log

SQL*Loader: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sun Oct 2 14:30:22 2011

SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 8.
Expecting "," or ")", found "NUMBER".
(ID NUMBER,
^

Then i changed it to smallint then it shows me the all records but Id column contains the wrong values.

SQL> select * from persons;

ID PNAME BALANCE RATE JOIN_DATE
---------- -------- ---------- ---------- ---------
8241 Ahmed Baraka 1000 1.87 1-1-2000
8242 John Rice 5000 2.4 10-5-1998
8243 Emme Rak 2500 2.34
8244 King Size 2700
8245 Small Size 3000 31-3-2001

SQL> !

so the problem is only for id column i also changed to the integer but problem remains the same

Integer external is fine. One of your problems appears to be field delimiters. You used X'9' which is the tab character, but your data does not appear to be delimited by tabs, just spaces. However, I don't know if you copied and pasted the actual data or if you typed it or if copying and pasting to the forum altered it. It tries to read the data up until the first tab, which doesn't exist as a number and that fails. Since you used errors=0 it does not try to read the second row. You need to figure out what delimiter is being used in your data and make sure that your control file matches. Unfortunately, you cannot use whitespace due to the space in the middle of the name and a missing field value in one row. I have provided a brief demonstration below using whitespace as a delimiter and loading the name into two separate columns. However, one row does not load due to a missing value.

-- persons.dat:
1 Ahmed Baraka 1000 1.87 1-1-2000
2 John Rice 5000 2.4 10-5-1998
3 Emme Rak 2500 2.34
4 King Size 2700
5 Small Size 3000 31-3-2001


-- persons.ctl:
OPTIONS ( ERRORS=0)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'persons.dat'
BADFILE 'persons.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'persons.dsc'
INTO TABLE "PERSONS" REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
PNAME1 CHAR,
PNAME2 CHAR,
BALANCE INTEGER EXTERNAL,
RATE FLOAT EXTERNAL,
JOIN_DATE date 'dd-mm-yyyy')


-- table creation, load, and results:
