Is it possible for Oracle sqlldr to accept a TNS entry as an instance qualifier in Oracle 10 and 11?

Question

Is it possible to use a fully qualified TNS entry using sqlldr bundled with Oracle 10/11?

For example, in SQLPlus:

    sqlplus user/password@(description         


        

Answer 1

Kelvin is 100 % Correct. It worked for me

You can execute sql loader with below command without making a tns entry

sqlldr userid/password@//host:port/SERVICE_NAME bad='/PATH/FILENAME.bad' control='/PATH/FILENAME.ctl' data='/PATH/FILENAME.csv' log='/PATH/FILENAME.log' direct='true'
