- Bill Thompson replied to an earlier message about validating ORACLE
- imports from flat files:
-
- -> That's an astonishing statement to me! Our current plan calls for
- -> *ALL* data imported into the database to come from flat ASCII files
- -> generated by other programs. Populating the database is supposed to
- -> be an automatic process that works unattended. Problems are supposed
- -> to be signalled when they occur.
-
- SQL*Loader puts bad records into a bad file, which is in the same format
- as the original data file. The erroneous records can be corrected, then
- reimported. The accompanying errors are detailed in an error file.
