Keywords
- OPTIONS
Specifies keyword_pair pairs (described in the previous section). Keywords can include:
SKIP LOAD ERRORS ROWS BINDSIZE SILENT DIRECT PARALLEL READSIZE
If a keyword/value pair is specified both on the command line and as part of the OPTIONS statement in the control file, the command-line argument overrides the value in the control file.
If you specify a command-line parameter that is not in this list, SQL*Loader will simply ignore it without generating an error.
This keyword must precede the LOAD keyword in the command file. For more details on these parameters, see the preceding section.
- UNRECOVERABLE | RECOVERABLE
Specifies whether the load is recorded in the database redo log. UNRECOVERABLE improves performance but requires you to reload the data in the event that any affected database files are lost and subsequently restored and recovered. This option is applicable only to direct path loads. The default is RECOVERABLE.
- LOAD [DATA] | CONTINUE_LOAD [DATA]
Basic keyword to start the LOAD command. The CONTINUE_LOAD keyword replaces LOAD when you have a failed direct path load and you want to restart from the point of failure with a different number of SKIPped rows for each table.
- CHARACTERSET character_set
Specifies the character set used for the input data.
- BYTEORDER
Indicates that binary integers, including those used in VARCHAR-type fields to specify field length, were generated on a machine with a byte order opposite to the one on which SQL*Loader is currently running. ...
