RE: how to load data from Excel sheet into Oracle tables using SQL*LOADER

If you are looking at an automated way to do this ...  

Use Perl and the DBI and DBD::Excel modules. You could read the Excel data using Perl, write it to a named pipe which would be the input to the SQL*Loader process. Very easy to do and may help you with automating the whole process.
