It seems to me that Oracle names their utilities differently on NT
based on the version number.
For example, SQLPlus has been named plus33, plus33w, sqlplus and
SQL*Loader is called
sqlldr73 in our NT environment. This makes it very difficult for us
to distribute
software that needs to use those utilities accross platforms and
versions. I thought
Oracle has been emphasizing their database's portability and I
failed to understand
why this name inconsistency happened.
I think SQL*Loader and SQL*Plus are called sqlload and sqlplus on
all unix platforms
(correct me if I am wrong). Can someone give a hint as to what's the
standard
(or is there any) names for sqlplus and sqlloader on NT platforms?
Thanks,

The naming conventions have bothered me too. Sorry I can't help much except to say that sql loader is sqlldr in Unix Received on Fri Apr 04 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
