Oracle Error Message
SQL*Loader-00916: Error checking path homogeneity
Reason for the Error
To do a direct path load load when the front end and back end of the database are on separate hardware systems, the systems must be identical, using the same machine, operating system, and character set. This error occurs when SQL*Loader detects a difference between the systems that will prevent a direct load from operating properly.
Solution
Use a conventional path load for this configuration.
