Thank you for the response.

As of right now I would like something that can read off of flat files. We do not have Oracle yet but we will eventually. I just want the tool to be able to read from flat files right now, but be compatible with Oracle for when we do have it.

Thank you

Mahesh,

Thank you very much for the response. The problem I will face is that we do not have Oracle yet and SQL*Loader looks like it comes with Oracle. Also, I was looking for something intelligent(not sure if SQL*Loader is) to flag duplicate data elements etc. Can you tell I am new to this stuff? :-)

Please advise.

Thank you
