Mohan Nair,
This is my code:
CREATE TABLE GLO_CUST_EXT5
(SOURCE_ID CHAR(3),
BUS_DT CHAR(8),
TRAN_CD CHAR(1),
CUST_CD NUMBER(10),
MNEMONIC CHAR(10),
SHORT_NM CHAR(255))
ORGANIZATION external
(TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY Source_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE Skip 1
badfile bad_dir:'GLO_CUST%a_%p.bad'
LOGFILE log_dir:'GLO_CUST%a_%p.log'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(SOURCE_ID ,
BUS_DT ,
TRAN_Cd ,
CUST_CD,
MNEMONIC FILLER,
SHORT_NM))
LOCATION ('GBCUS.txt'))
REJECT LIMIT 0;
I'm using Oracle 10g. I execute this code using TOAD version 8.5.0.50.
I can create the external table, but when i used simple select statement
(select * from GLO_CUST_EXT5), i got this error:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-00554: error encountered while parsing access parameters

KUP-01008: the bad identifier was: FILLER
KUP-01007: at line 9 column 10
ORA-06512: at "S
Can you help me solve this problem? Thank you.
