Hi,
I have a data in text file which has around 7 laks lines. I need to import those data into a table in oracle then do some process.
Since this job is done by end user, i have created a form with the following process.
Create a single text file from multiple flat files in client system.
Run the application from the application server [ which is unix based ]
once the text file is uploaded to the server, read the text file line by line and insert into the table.
The above process works perfectly in test eniviroment which I have as stand alone system. When I move this to application server and execute it, the session got killed after an hour and I got network inturpted error.
I would like to know is there any other method instead of reading line by line and insert into a table. I do not want to use the tools like sql Loader etc since I do not want my user to do lot of things.
Can anyone help me.
Sethu Murugan

Since the user is directly going to do this task, I doubt whether SQL* loader will be use full.
I do not know about external_tables. Let me explore it. If I have any doubt let me buzz here.
Thank you

Am sorry.
I have not gone thru the utilities of SQL loader. I think that should be the solution for my problem.
But how to do it in the following condition.
My application server is in Unix platform
I do not have access to the live database and I do not know whether SQL loader is available or not
i do not have comma seperated files instead a fixed lenght file which will be 22 charactors continiously
