Re: Coriolis is dead

I used the SQL*Loader on a project for about 5 months - it was very helpful. However, I would recommend that a new version be released with something like a section for "tips, tricks and traps". There were a few items that are not covered in the Oracle documentation, nor the book, that would be helpful. I had to learn them the hard way and pester the folks on this list.

My $0.02 worth,
