You can use the following:

Case 1:
(Where the fields are delimited, say by comma and the input file has date field format as "dd-mon-yyyy")

Load Data
infile 'infile.txt'
replace
into table table
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(
... ,
DATE_FROM DATE "DD-Mon-yyyy",
...
)

Case 2:
(When you have fixed length format fields)
you can put it in the control file as:

...
date_field POSITION(49:56) DATE "YYYYMMDD",
...

And so on...

There are some more ways. But still the above two cover almost all major cases.

Does this help?
