    automating & scheduling sqlloader process

    Hi guys


    I have a database (oracle8i 8.1.7) on winnt machine where a lot of data is loaded through sqlldr every fortnight.This data is used for generating specific reports required to be submitted every fortnight.
    The data which we load into this databse comes from diverse systems which we keep in a central folder from where its uploaded to our d/b.

    i have a created a batch file for my sqlldr process to run.What i want is how can i automate this process of loading.

    Thanx
    Sushant

    You may make use of this script. I automated loading on NT machine using this batch file.
    Code:
    @ECHO OFF
    ECHO  Finding Data to be loaded...
    CD C:\DATA\
    FOR  %%V in (*.DAT) DO SQLLDR73.EXE username/password@db CONTROL=C:\CODE\PRE.CTL LOG=C:\LOG\PRE.LOG BAD=C:\LOG\PRE.BAD DATA=%%V ERRORS=1500
    MOVE *.DAT C:\OUT\

    You could consider migrating to 9i for making use of the external tables functionallity.

    Oracle has introduced an excellent feature called "External tables", where you can refer text files as Oracle tables. These file formats can be similar to the one which we use for sqlldr. For further details visit:
