SQLLDR -- CTL file: field settings

Keywords: Oracle

The position keyword is used to specify the start and end positions of columns
position(m:n): refers to the column value from the m-th character to the n-th character
position(*+2:15): the way to directly specify the value is called absolute offset. If the * sign is used, it is the relative offset, indicating where the last field ends, where it starts this time, and where the relative cheap quantity can be calculated again.
position(*) char(9): the advantage of this relative offset + type and length is that you only need to specify the start position for the first column, and the other columns only need to specify the column length.
FILLER: the FILLER specified in the control file indicates that the column value is not imported into the table.
