Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: download or upload.
Amar - From the dictionary: "upload - to transfer data or programs usually
from a peripheral computer to a central, often remote computer". In your
question of loading a text file into a database, if the text file is already
on the Oracle server, I wouldn't refer to that as an upload or download. I
would refer to it as "load". In the case of producing a text file from the
database on the Oracle server, I would refer to that as "dump". However, if
you meant that you are loading the data from a client system, then I would
refer to that as "upload".

Some terminology confusion.
When you load a text file into the database, you call it download or upload?
When you create a text file from your database you call it download or upload?
