Hi all,

I am trying to load my data from a CSV file to an oracle table using SQL LOADER. What should be the syntax of DATE MASK for the below kind of data.
02MAR1948:00:00:00.000
24SEP1950:00:00:00.000

I am using the following control file

LOAD DATA
INTO TABLE TW_EXTDATA.PATIENT_VISITS_MERGE_39950
REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
PATIENT_ID,
INITIALS,
DOB DATE "DDMMMYYYY:HH:MM:SS.FF"
)

Please help me with this.
