This should be simple, but what is the correct syntax for an Oracle sqlldr control file in order to specify tab delimited/separated data?
FWIW, I found the file was UTF16 and not UTF8, and was editing fine but would introduce null bytes as Oracle read the control file. Can’t even replicate today.
Per this thread, it should be
fields terminated by '\t'(don’t have an Oracle installation at hand to verify that this is correct).
