Hi

I am facing problem with Load option while loading from source table(oracle 10g) to target table (oracle9i). I have selected write method as load & truncate. In this situation job got aborted and returned the error sqldr 256. But the same job tried with insert option. The job was successfully executed and loaded the data.

Thanks
Suresh

See Oracle Metalink 444663.1 for details.

"The client version must be the same or earlier than the server version, and both must be 9i or later for direct path load. Therefore,direct path load cannot be used to load data from 10g client into 9i database. In addition, a direct path load from 9.2 client into 9.0.1 database is not supported"
