I'm trying to insert data from a file into an Oracle table using SQL loader. The primary key is populated by a sequence where the nextVal is called from an insert trigger.
When I try using sqlldr, it seems to bypass the trigger as it says I cannot insert a null value into the primary key field.
Is there a way I can use sql loader to call the trigger for each insert?
OPTIONS (direct=false, SKIP=1)
load DATA
INFILE 'bcbsm.ctl'
append into table pprs.x
(
LAST_NAME POSITION(1:25) CHAR
)
command: sqlldr username/password control=file.ctl
In my trigger there is a "Before Insert on x For Each Row" where I call the nextVal for the sequence then assign it to the primary key column. Since it's a unique identifier and populated by a sequence, it's not on the file that I'm trying to load.
