Hi, thanks for the response. This helps!
Do you know of anyway to load a clob file into sqlldr WITHOUT designating the clob as a filename/file pointer???
In all the examples sqlldr uses a filename or pointer to a file to load clobs. I would like to pass my clob data as a string of text like I do with all the other fields. Do you think it would be possible to pipe it to the clob field, kinda like the way you piped each row to sqlldr in your example above. See I'm trying to avoid writing any data to disk, so I want to avoid writing all my data to a file just so I can load it as a clob field in sqlldr.
