Hi everyone,

I am new in the world of Oracle and I have an easy question for you.

I have two workstations that will access an Oracle database located on a server through Oracle Discoverer 3.1. Users will have to populate the database with ASCII flat files.

These flat files are easy to upload into the database, using SQL*Loader, when the user is logged on the server. However, we would like the user to be able to populate the database from a workstation.

Is there way to call the SQL*Loader from the workstation?

If we install Oracle Personal edition on the workstation (assuming that this version comes with SQL*Loader) can we populate the database located on the server for the workstation?

Any other suggestions.

thanks,
