Full Description
Despite the wide availability and use of SQL*Loader, few Oracle DBAs and developers know how powerful it really is. This book describes all of SQL*Loader's functions, including how to construct the necessary control files, load different types of data, and get the best performance. It covers the newest SQL*Loader features in 2001 - the loading of large object (LOB) columns and the new object types (nested tables, varying arrays, and object tables).
