You can use this Loader command when creating a database session to specify the SQL Mode of the database instance.

Syntax

<sql_mode_command> ::= SQLMODE <sql_mode>

<sql_mode> ::= INTERNAL | ANSI | DB2 | ORACLE

INTERNAL

Internal SQL mode (system default) in the database system

ANSI

SQL dialect in accordance with the ANSI standard (ANSI X3.135-1992, Entry SQL)

DB2

SQL dialect in accordance with the definition for DB2 Version 4

ORACLE

SQL dialect in accordance with the ORACLE7 definition

Explanation

The commands for loading and unloading data executed by the Loader and the SQL statements are interpreted in accordance with the  SQL mode that has been set if the data stream does not have the PAGES format.

The SQL mode is transferred between the Loader and the database instance when the connection is set up. The defined SQL mode remains active until it is changed again using this command.

·        If you do not specify an SQL mode, the SQL mode INTERNAL is used.

·        If you enter an invalid SQL mode, the INTERNAL SQL mode is assumed implicitly.

·        You can change the SQL mode within a command file or a script using the SQLMODE command.
