TOraLoader and variable number of fields to be filled ("TRAILING NULLCOLS")

Post by Squeezer » Tue 10 Jun 2008 19:18

Hello, I'm using ODAC 5.8 with Builder 6,

2CRLab Team: are there any plans to implement in TOraLoader some option like "TRAILING NULLCOLS" in Oracle SQL*Loader? If some trailing fields in a record are nulls and not necessary to be filled, and PutColumnData() not called for these fields, TOraLoader appears mistakenly fills them with some data from previous calls of PutColumnData(), where such fields was explicitly filled...

Thanks,
Vladimir

We are not planning to implement such feature. You should assign Null values in PutColumnData to all columns that should be NULL.
