Anywhere accessible from where you execute SQL*Loader.

SQL*Loader has nothing to do with SQL*Plus.

Can I do it from any specified path in my machine. The Oracle database is in Unix.

In DBARTISAN there is an option Import file where I have to select the csv source,the database and the target table. Map the columns and import.This way it generates insert statements.
I ran the dml as a batch.

Will the load with sqlloader be fast in comparison to this approach?

One more concern when I tried to open the csv file it shows that
there are more than limited no. of rows execel can hold.
I am seeing 65536 in execel sheet. But while importing the data from the same csv files using Import file option in Dbartisan I am seeing more than 2 million rows.
