What is the difference between the SQL*Loader and IMPORT utilities?..

Answer / swetha

1) sql*loader is used only to load data into database
tables from external files.
It's all about data loading.


2) Import is used to read and write the operating system
files in and out of database.
it's completely a different aspect.

We can deal with structures as well as data here.
We can import entire database or a particular user/schema
or required table spaces with structures or even with data
according to the requirement.
