With multiline text, can't use sql*loader directly, unless you replace the
line feed with space, say.

With 300 records you can simple write a query to upload access table to a ODBC-attached Oracle table. Slow but simple.

You can use some pipeline tools, like PowerBuilder DBPipeLine. What they do
is just read a record and insert a record, but automatically.

Such requirement is straight forward, I am sure you can find a way. Received on Wed Apr 09 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
