Import data from TXT file to Oracle via command line on Linux

1. In interactive mode:

ora-cmd> load loadtype=replace
      > table=media_messages 
      > datafile=/data/media_messages.txt 
      > delimiter=| 
      > quote=" 
      > header=y;

2. In batch mode:

ora-cmd dsn="pan:withdata@192.168.0.102/test" task=load loadtype=replace table=media_messages datafile=/data/media_messages.txt delimiter=| quote=" header=y quit=y

Set the “delimiter” to your real delimiter in datafile, maybe “|”, or “#”, or “;”, or others.

“loadtype=replace” will delete all data in table before inserting.
