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". Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
