After upgrading my DOS versions of SQL*Reports, SQL*Forms, and SQL*Menu tools to the Windows CDE versions, I found out that SQL*Loader for Windows is NOT available from Oracle! After several conversations with Oracle Support as well as their Sales people, I was informed that a migration path from DOS to Windows for the RDBMS tools (which include SQL*Loader) is not available. Their remedy is to buy Personal Oracle for Windows, which includes SQL*Loader.

So I downloaded the free trial version of Personal Oracle. After a lot of trial and error, I found out that you need to put the files SQLLOAD.EXE and LDRRESUS.DLL into your \ORAWIN\BIN directory, and ULUS.MSB in your \ORAWIN\RDBMS71 directory. Now SQL*Loader for Windows will run by clicking the icon and filling in the blanks of the input window that comes up.

I cannot seem to get SQL*Loader to run from a command line under Windows, however. I need to be able to do this since the SQL*Forms application that I am migrating from DOS to Windows must be able to perform this function. Has anybody solved this problem? Please post or mail to marty_at_amelia.trw.com. Received on Wed Jul 26 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
