Review:

Oracle SQL*Loader: The Definitive Guide certainly lives up to the promise of its title. What this book doesn't tell you about Oracle's high performance data loading utility is unlikely to be found elsewhere--from the possible permutations of command line syntax and options to the fine detail of what each option means.

This book serves both as an introduction to SQL*Loader and as an in-depth reference to its use and behaviour. Having said that, it's perhaps debatable whether the relatively straightforward SQL*Loader merits the treatment it receives here and it's likely that the single chapter coverage in the Oracle Utilities manual, or any number of Oracle DBA reference books, will suffice for the average or occasional SQL*Loader user.

However, it will be a useful addition to the bookshelf of the regular SQL*Loader user, or for those where getting the most out of SQL*Loader is an issue. --Michael O'Connor
