6 SQL Loader

The document describes the process of loading data from a flat file into Oracle Applications base tables using SQL*Loader. SQL*Loader is used to load data from a file into a database table. It requires a control file (.ctl file) that specifies the data file, table, and column details. The .ctl file is registered as a concurrent program to load the data. Options like insert, append, truncate control how the data is loaded into the table. Additional options allow loading a subset of rows, skipping rows, and handling comma within data fields.
