I have a excel sheet which has a format like:
Name Address Phone# Age ----- ------- ------ ---- aaa xxx 123... 11 bbb yy
I've never used it, but the skip option should do what you need.
You can define the number of rows to skip in your control
file like this:
OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA INFILE ...
Or you can do it at the command like like this:
sqlldr userid=xxxx/yyyy control=mycontrolfile.ctl skip=1
Its very simple. Open your Excel file [in Excel 2010 there is a tab called Desgin] click on the Grid or Table which populated by Database records. Now See the design tab under "Table Tools" heading is visible on the top. Click on it.
There are four checkboxes on of them named as: Header Row, unchecked it and you have the Table withou header.
