Does your fields separated (terminated) by ","?
No.
So use another syntax.
Maybe your fields are fixed length.
Have a look at: "Database Utilities", Part II SQL*Loader.

Hi,

Its not a comma seperated data file.

if i remove this line "fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"' "

will it work fine.

Here the file looks like

sample1.txt
vikram12
sharma13
joe 14
shan 15

Thanks

Why don't you try it and tells us what happens? Is it really that hard to try?

If you want to show us a valid picture of your data, use code tags so we can see it in it's true form. After all thesep osts you should know that by now.
