SQL*Loader is the tool do load data from a flat file into Oracle. It will also create a log file.

Invoke it (from the form) using HOST or CLIENT_HOST built-ins.

Huh?

shahnirav86

first you have to upload file on application sever.
then database server and then you used sql * loader to upload data from file

I'm not sure I understood that. Are you saying that you first upload file to an application server, then you upload the same file to a database server, and then you use SQL*Loader and load data stored in that file into an Oracle database?

If so, well, why do you do that in such a complicated manner? SQL*Loader is available locally (can be installed as a part of Oracle Client software); you don't have to move file anywhere - it can be stored on your PC.

So - if you know how to write a control file, there's nothing much you have to do regarding input file manipulation - no servers must be included into the business (unless, of course, the fact that Oracle must be up in order to successfully load data).

Hi All,

Thank you for all information. However the client likes to upload the Data file from their own PC and I have to create an oracle Form which does that for them. I thought I can use PL/SQL in Oracle Form for this job. Please advice.

Thanks and Happy holiday

Re-read my first answer to your question - call SQL*Loader from a form using the HOST or CLIENT_HOST built in.

Or, you might research use of the TEXT_IO.
