Re: How do you copy tables from a CD into a database?

Just as you say:

@f:\etc...etc just means "run the script specified in sql*plus". It's the same as 'start f:\etc..etc'

Don't think of it as 'loading' or 'copying' the script. If it helps, try to think of it like running a batch file or shell script of SQL IN sql*plus.
