Is it possible to load a table using SQL Loader and imbedded SQL Select statements� to load data from�a table�in another instance?� I know I can do this in PL/SQL with an INSERT, however, due to the installation, I am limited to using SQLLOADER.� If possible can you provide an example?

sql*loader cannot read from any oracle resource.
It can only write data into a table.
You may write a wrap-up script depending on the your OS.
AGAIN, sql statements and sqlldr are run in different sessions.
You cannot EMBED sql statements inside sqlldr.

something like

start the shell-wrap-script
 use sqlplus-connect-to-oracle
   run sql 1;
   spool the output to generate the textfile.
   run sql 2;
   EXIT;
 use sqlldr to load the texfile.
end of script.

actually i need following script....
So, basically, the script will have to do the following:
1) Look in a particular directory that contains all of the .ncs files
2) Loop through files
a) Change filetype to .mdb
b) Connect to the file via ODBC and query the appropriate data
c) Connect to MNUSS(database) via ODBC
d) Query the MNUSS data to determine if the records already exist (decide if next query is an insert or an update)
e) Execute insert or update queries on relevant MNUSS tables
The script should create a log file of all actions so that they can be verified

please reply me soon

thanks
