Jonathan,
Nice review.
Looks like a fantastic book! It would have been great to
have it when I first started Oracle (or will be great to get
it if we start having more complex data loading requirements
than is currently the case, e.g. graphics files).
About 5 or 6 years ago I called Oracle tech support asking
why the SQL*Loader documentation (Oracle6&7) wasn't very
good, and if any supplemental information was available. A
particulary good Oracle tech support guy (Dan Needles?)
faxed me about 25 pages of "internal" Oracle documents
(notes/etc.) about SQL*Loader, some of which he had
authored. My guess is that most/all of that material he
covered is also in your book, plus more.
OT: I was interested in the waterfall stuff in your ".sig"
file, so I clicked. If you don't mind the suggestion, you
might consider clearly labeling the waterfall map image
(http://MichiganWaterfalls.com/up_map.gif) as being upper
Michigan. Being from the west coast and not very familiar
with midwestern geography, it wasn't apparent at first
glance what the map image was, and I had to refer to a map
of the whole state (at www.mapquest.com) to get a clear idea
of the specifics.
regards & best wishes,
ep
