Please consider PLATINUM InfoTransport for your Oracle data loading requirements.

InfoTransport is a high-speed tool for moving data from many types of sources (inlcuding DB2, IMS, VSAM, and sequential files) to PC-, UNIX-, and LAN-based servers (targets include DB2 for OS/2, DB2 for AIX, Sybase SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Informix, and Oracle). The product helps organizations implement distributed data processing in heterogeneous environments, without requiring expensive gateways, intermediate servers, custom conversion code, or massive processing overhead.
