Re: streaming a .ctl file into sqlldr with perl

Looks like a continuation of your using stdin with sqlldr post. cmdrake pointed out that you should be able to use mkfifo/mknod to create a named pipe to load the data. Did this work for you?

Hi, I didn't need to create a named pipe. The above code worked for me. I started sqlldr as a file handle and wrote to it like a file. The only addition that was made was a pipe in front of the sqlldr process call in the open function. So yes I guess it does open a pipe, just not the way I thought it would.
