Hello Tom,
I have 100 million records to load to a table. I am sqlldr to do so. I have been using the conventional load but is taking long. In the control file I have SQL functions to substring and other data manipulations. My question is, can I use direct load even if I have SQL functions in the control file?
and Chris said...
Let's check:
SQL> create table t (
2 c1 varchar2(10)
3 );
Table T created.
SQL>
SQL> ho type sqlldr.ctl
load data infile *
append into table t
fields terminated by ','
trailing nullcols
(c1 "upper(:c1)" )
begindata
col1
col2
SQL>
SQL> ho sqlldr userid=chris/chris@db control=sqlldr.ctl direct=y

Load completed - logical record count 2.
Table T:
2 Rows successfully loaded.
Check the log file:
sqlldr.log
for more information about the load.
SQL>
SQL> select * from t;
C1
COL1
COL2
So that would be yes!
