Hello!

How can I suppress all the messages generated by SQL LOADER? Actually, I want to suppress only the HEADER and the FEEDBACK, but any option that I user does not suppress the header.
In my control file I used OPTIONS (SILENT=ALL), OPTIONS (SILENT=(HEADER, FEEDBACK)), but in any of these cases the header is not suppressed.
Moreover, when I use in the control file the option SILENT=ALL, in the log file I can find this line Silent options: FEEDBACK, ERRORS and DISCARDS, so no HEADER option.

Can anyone give a suggestion regarding this?

Thank you!

What options do you use in your command line? Any options in your command line will override any options in your control file.

In the command line I specify the control file, the log file, the bad file and the number of allowed errors. This could not affect the options from the control file, could it?

Are you trying to suppress the header on your screen or in the log file? The following is from the online documentation:


HEADER - Suppresses the SQL*Loader header messages that normally appear on the screen. Header messages still appear in the log file.

I don't know whether to consider this an Oracle bug or a documentation bug, but the silent header option only seems to work from the command line, not the control file. I suggest that you specify it in your command line instead.

It is working fine if I add the SILENT=ALL option to the command line instead of in the control file. What I don't understand is that in the log file created appears this line Silent options: FEEDBACK, ERRORS and DISCARDS, but not Silent options: ALL or HEADER added in the list. But, indeed, it suppressed the header lines.

Thank you very much!
