Helmut,

I believe that SQL*Loader is the quickest way to load your data. You could write a procedure that uses UTL_FILE also. And there is another choice, but truly brute force - you could edit your file into INSERT statements and load it through SQL*PLUS. :-(

Hi!

Is SQL*Loader the only way to move the contents of a comma-delimited ASCII file into Oracle? UTL_FILE would be another option, right?

Or are there any other ways to do this?

This is 8.1.6 on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut
