INTO TABLE rep_unit
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\\'
TRAILING NULLCOLS

101 posts and you don't know that a tag ends with /tag.

What is the table description?
Can its columns support your data?

Regards
Michel

DATE_CAPTURED date 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' terminated by '.',



Format does not match data.

I tried this out i don't see any problem in loading data.Data is successfully loaded into my table.I had declared DATE_CAPTURED as DATE type in my table.

1) Post your Table structure(rep_unit).

2) Error Log while loading

I increased the size of survey_unit_code,IPP_PPI_OVERLAP to varchar2(10).

And i think i got the problem.

When i increased the size of the column the data inserted is as follows:-

A	2/28/2008 10:59:17 AM	750 AM
C	2/29/2008 10:59:17 AM	750 AM


Please Check your control file.

The problem is occuring because when you are terminating the data via '.' to get date.The part that is remained after '.' is loaded into IPP_PPI_OVERLAP.

Make following change to your control file:-

LOAD DATA
INFILE Rep_Unit.txt
REPLACE
INTO TABLE rep_unit
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\\'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
 SURVEY_UNIT_CODE,
 DATE_CAPTURED date 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS' terminated by '.',
 Useless_Variable FILLER,
 IPP_PPI_OVERLAP
)
