I was able to load the 500K records with SQL loader ( thank you all for assistance).
However, I am now tasked to do it AGAIN…but to TRUNCATE a specific field to length of 300 ( it is currently 500).
When I tried simply altering the table field size, the records all errored out in SQLLDR log file for being too large.
So I want to truncate the field at 300 when it is loaded ( and get all records to load).
Suggestions?
( I am getting better at SQL Ldr with all the info I have found but have not been able to find info online on the truncation of a single field on load.
