Since all the work is done by `sqlldr`, Perl has absolutely nothing to do with this problem. Please check your control file and see if it contains perhaps a "`CHARACTERSET UTF8`" line. Also, both the control file CHARACTERSET definition, the import-file data and the database itself must all have the same (or at least compatible) characterset definitions. If one of them is out-of-sync then you will indeed get strange results. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James My blog: Imperial Deltronics	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This times because I need to pretreatment the data text,use system() to call the sqlldr.I have imported the data with sqlldr in microsoft's cmd several times successfully.So I Dont't think the mistake are from the sqlldr.	[reply]

Unless I am really mistaken, `sqlldr` will import external data into an Oracle database. The Perl `system` command will just start `sqlldr` for you and then `sqlldr` takes over. The data doesn't pass through your perl-script at all. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.

What do you mean with "pre-treatment" of the data text? The perl part of your program does not do anything with the data-file.

sqlldr uses the NLS_LANG environment variable to define language_location.charset Try setting it to "SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK" `print "Good ",qw(night morning afternoon evening)[(localtime)[2]/6]," fellow monks."`	[reply] [d/l]

possibly has nothing to do with your problem, but this `if($filename){` [download] only checks for "not-emptyness" of the filename. You probably intended one of the -X functions (probably one or more of `-e -r -f -s -T`). From the rest of the discussion, my guess is that the problem is in fact the encoding of the filename, as our Anonymous brother seems to hint …	[reply] [d/l] [select]
