Can someone tell me if the SQL Loader utility is covered by the "Standard"
license, or if it requires the "Enterprise" license? This is for release
8i. Gleaning this type of information is not easy in Oracle's
documentation...

Thanks in advance,
db

SQL loader is a basic utility. It should be covered in standard.

For as long as I remember (roughly going back to v5), the user community has
consider it part of Standard. If that's not the case, Oracle might want to
clarify.

For Oracle8i, Oracle had a "Oracle8i Database: A Family of Products"
document that isted the options, the features and the split by edition. In
Oracle9i that has been moving into the document set in the 'New Features'
doc, and I con't find the 8i doc on OTN anymore.

There is no edition of Oracle going back at least a decade that does not
include in its basic license SQL*LOADER.

FYI - We still do the Family of Products

8i - http://www.oracle.com/technology/pro...pdf/8i_fam.pdf
9i -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pro...2_prod_fam.pdf

10g -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pro...amily_0104.pdf

Note the change in naming standards. Some would argue that it's my
single contributuon to date :-)

Oracle8i Doc is at

Good to see the pointers to the 'Family of Products' white papers for 8i and
9i, and even better to see the 10g version. Thanks for the pointers, Mark.

Scanning through them, I note that SQL*Loader is not mentioned in any of
them. Therefore my original post is a red herring - apologies to the OP.
Perhaps someone at Oracle can provide a definitive response.

SQL*Loader is included in all editions. The rule is that if it's not
specifically exlcuded in the doc, then it's included. The 'doc' before
10g was a reference to the collateral already pointed out, in 10g, there
is now a formal Licence Doc that lists the exclusion between the
different editions

SQL Loader - Standard or Enterprise License?
