I am facing some issues in loading a CSV file through SQL Loader.

Here is the control file:

LOAD DATA 
INFILE 'mp.csv'
BADFILE mp.bad'
INSERT 
INTO TABLE mp_staging
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
mp_id INTEGER,
mp_name CHAR,
mp_desc CHAR,
oid CHAR,
ptye_cd CHAR,
creation_tmstmp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9",
modified_tmstmp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9",
last_generation_tmstmp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9",
deact_dt DATE,
)

Here are some sample records from CSV file:

1083,"Test3","","mills_b","PRIVATE",2000-12-06 14:29:21.17,1999-12-06 14:29:21.17,2011-    10-01 04:03:44.6

116,"Mike1","","mills_b","PRIVATE",1999-09-15 11:15:29.42,1999-09-15 11:15:59.663,2011-    10-01 04:01:23.923,,0,"F",""

I am facing two issues –

  1. The second record gets inserted, but with a different mp_id in the table, as in the value inserted in the table is not 1083, but an alotgether differentnumber, which seems to be generated by a sequence, though I have not referred to any sequence in the control file.

  2. The first record fails to load, with this error:

Record 1: Rejected – Error on table EQ_MP_STAGING, column
CREATION_TMSTMP. ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and
+9999, and not be 0

Can someone help me in right direction, so that I can debug these issues?

    OK, I have figured the error. It was all related to the control file definition. All I had to do was remove the data type declarations.
    As far as I figured, when you specify data type, you got to specify the limit of the field. I tried to specify POSITION(*), thinking that this will take care of variable length fields, but I again got the same error.

    LOAD DATA  
INFILE 'mp.csv' 
BADFILE mp.bad' 
INSERT  INTO TABLE mp_staging
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' 
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' 
TRAILING NULLCOLS 
( mp_id , 
mp_name , 
mp_desc , 
oid , 
ptye_cd , 
creation_tmstmp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9", 
modified_tmstmp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9",              last_generation_tmstmp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9", 
deact_dt )
