Ken,

Could you please elaborate on how SQL*Loader uses SQL*Plus?

That will work as long as they are sets of tables are the same layout. If
not, then you have to map from SQL Server to Oracle which could be a complex
time consuming task. Then the best bet is to generate delimited flat files
from SQL Server and use SQL*Loader to load them into Oracle. For this I recommend the book: SQL*Loader, The definitive Guide by Gennick & Mishra.

Sorry to say it SQL*Loader uses SQL*Plus, not Perl.

My $0.02 worth,

Ken Janusz, CPIM
