Re: How to DELETE and UPDATE records using SQLLDR

David,  

Just a guess since my SQL*Loader book is at home,  

1. insert to a staging table then
2. do a delete where exists in staging table
3. insert from staging table

I'd like to delete a couple thousand of records and also update a thousand of records in database using SQL Loader. If I use REPLACE key work in SQLLDR, all my existing records will be deleted, I just want to delete and update certain records without deleting all existing records.  How do I do that with SQLLDR? Please help.  

Thanks,
David
