Hi,
In SQL*Loader CTL FIELDS are TERMINATED BY ",".
But same loading fields have symbols "\," as parts
of data fields. Have any possibility to avoid
field termination by "\,".
This symbol is not enclosed by "".
Raw example:
198.18.8.1,http://kiss.best.su/?best\,star\,step2\,\,353456c2\,,,39,0,[/url]
Part of ctl file:
........
INTO TABLE TEMPLOG
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
nampServerIPaddress ,
fetchedURL ,
originalURL ,
.......
Help me,please
Thank you

1. I cant use the url - you are providing
2. You dont want to load the "\" sign into your database,
is that the question ?

You have to be describe your problem a bit better......
Show an example of the data you want to load as well....

Thank you,
The loading data are pumped from Nokia station.
198.18.8.1,http://kiss.best.su/?best\,star\,step2\,\,353456\,,,39,0,...
CTL:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
(
nampServerIPaddress ,
fetchedURL ,
originalURL ,
.......
This data from comma to comma have to be written to fields
but not \,. It is C like char of comma, not terminator.

198.18.8.1 => nampServerIPaddress
http://kiss.best.su/?best\,star\,step2\,\,353456\, => fetchedURL
null => originalURL
39 => ... and so on.
........
So the problem is that "\," is not field terminator, only "," is.
I need comma as part of field.

Other examples:
198.18.8.1,http://beeline.mmska.ru/pay/6631429655/\,order\,8063,,0,0,
198.18.8.1,http://free.wapstart.ru/pics/item/g_id\,1\,i_id\,17?wsf=cae6406538383cbb15cc3e86e1ab251d,,515,0,

Thank you very much

Why isnt the fields seperated with ; or |
Would be easier for you then.....

Have you looked into using external tables ?

Thank you,
Input data are comming from different switching stations,
and are constructed with the program which is beyond reach.
So I can not change it's stucture.
Moreover, they are tremendous large.
Extra revision takes a lot of time.
So I forced to use DIRECT loading which excludes
any additional processing while loading.
Most likely, I have to write some preprocessor to
avoid this problem.
Is it possible, there is some unreported opportunity,
like TERMINATED BY "," and NOT TERMINATED BY "\,"
or samthing like that?

Thank you anyway

In your controlfile, can you not do this on every column:

column1 "substr(:column1,1,length(:column1)-1)"
