TAB delimiter problem [message #74343] Mon, 22 November 2004 03:05 Go to next message

Hi you all,

I have a couple of export files, which i import into an Oracle 8 database using sql loader. The files are TAB delimited.
I am getting a lot of unprocessed records in my bad file. However, when i replace the TAB by an another delimeter, for example a "@", then it works fine.

the export files come from a sybase database which has the ISO 8859-1 West European 8-bit (WE8ISO8859P1)
character set. Oracle has the WE8ISO8859P9 characterset.

I ftp the export files from a Windows environment in binary mode to the unix server.

Has anyone experience with this?
Why is TAB not recognized by sqlloader and does another delimeter a better job?

Thanks in advance,

Hakan

i believe you can try ftp not in binary mode, thus this is an ascii file, try ASCII ftp mode.

Best luck.

croK thanks for your reply,

I was thinking about something else, that's why I wrote binary by mistake.
Ofcourse I ftp them in ascii.

So, that is not the reason why it is not working properly!
