You're trying to use SQL*Loader control file syntax. LOAD is not a SQL command, and you can't use that control file as a statement in SQL Developer.

You can use SQL*Loader if you have the full client or server installed on your PC - the instant client does not include it. If you can put the file on the server you could use an external table .

But SQL Developer has its own data import wizard which you can use to load the data from your file.

Use this wizard to import data into a table. For example, if you right-click the Tables node or a table name in the Connections navigator and select Import Data, you can specify the .source file (such as a spreadsheet or a delimited file) from which to import data. You create a table and import data into it, or import data into an existing table.
