The restriction of DIRECTLOAD needing SQL*Loader (client) and the Oracle 
RDBMS (Server) needing to be on the same machine is not correct. The OSs 
have to be similar and the SQL*Loader version must match the RDBMS 
version. i.e. SQL*Loader 7.x to RDBMS 7.x -- note that 7.0 to 7.1 is 
valid.  You could go via SQL*Net V1 or V2 or even local pipes ...

  e.g. SUNOS SQL*Loader 7.0 to SUNOS RDBMS 7.1 -- OK.
       WINNT SQL*Loader 7.0 to SUNOS RDBMS 7.0 -- WON'T WORK!!!
