Hi,

I have a bunch of data in 50 excel files. I need to load all these 50 files into 50 different tables. I would like to do this in one script. I went through the forum to get this information, people suggested create a shell script etc or list the sqlldr command multiple times etc.

Can someone provide some clarity on this as to what's the best approach.If it is through shell scripting can someone provide the shell script and instructions to execute it. Iam new to shell scripting.

Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If these files really are Excel files, then Oracle does not know how to read (& process) them.

you will require a custom control file for each table to be loaded

That assumes the tables have the same structure.
