The error means just what it says, in this case; one or more of your records is too long for the loader to handle. You’ll need to investigate the use of one of SQL*Loader’s workaround methods; Concatenate or ContinueIf.

SQL*Loader-510: physical record in datafile is longer than the maximum

Cause: The datafile has a physical record that is too long.

Action: Use CONCATENATE or CONTINUEIF. Break up the physical records.

If you don’t have the documentation for SQL*Loader, or access to Oracle’s site, you can find the relevant section here: http://tbw.verbundstudium.de/faecher/datenbanken/loader/loader_ref.pdf

Hi,

When I am trying the command with the normal read buffer size, then it gave the error:
SQL*Loader-510: Physical record in data file is longer than the maximum(1048576)

That is why I tried it with a higher buffer value. Trying with a lesser value gives the above error msg.
