A typical SQL Loader session takes as input a control file, which controls the behavior of SQL*Loader, and one or more data files. The output of SQL Loader is an Oracle database (where the data is loaded), a log file, a bad file, and potentially, a discard file.<br /> <br /> The tables to be loaded must already exist in the database. SQL*Loader never creates tables. It loads existing tables that either already contain data or are empty.<br /> <br /> The following privileges are required for a load:<br /> <br /> * You must have INSERT privileges on the table to be loaded.<br /> * You must have DELETE privileges on the table to be loaded, when using the REPLACE or TRUNCATE option to empty old data from the table before loading the new data in its place.
