-- NAME
-- ulcase3.ctl - SQL*Loader Case Study 3: Loading a Delimited,
-- Free-format File
--
-- DESCRIPTION
-- This case study demonstrates the following:
-- Loading data (enclosed and terminated) in stream format.
--
-- Loading dates using the DATE datatype.
--
-- Using SEQUENCE numbers to generate unique keys for loaded data.
--
-- Using APPEND to indicate that the table need not be empty before
-- inserting new records.
--
-- Using comments in the control file set off by two hyphens.
--
-- NOTES ABOUT THIS CONTROL FILE
-- This control file loads the same table as in case 2, but it
-- loads three additional columns (hiredate, projno, and loadseq).
-- The projno and loadseq columns are added to the emp table when
-- you run the ulcase3.sql script.
--
-- INFILE * specifies that the data is found at the end of the
-- control file.
--
-- APPEND specifies that the data can be loaded even if the table
-- already contains rows. That is, the table need not be empty.
--
-- The default terminator for the data fields is a comma, and some
-- fields may be enclosed by double quotation marks (").
--
-- The data to be loaded into column hiredate appears in the format
-- DD-Month-YYYY. The length of the date field is specified to have
-- a maximum of 20. The maximum length is in bytes, with default
-- byte-length semantics. If character-length semantics were used
-- instead, the length would be in characters. If a length is not
-- specified, then the length depends on the length of the date mask.
--
-- The SEQUENCE function generates a unique value in the column loadseq.
-- This function finds the current maximum value in column loadseq and
-- adds the increment (1) to it to obtain the value for loadseq for
-- each row inserted.
--
-- BEGINDATA specifies the end of the control information and the
-- beginning of the data.
--
-- Although each physical record equals one logical record, the fields
-- vary in length, so that some records are longer than others. Note
-- also that several rows have null values for comm.
