I Will Love DataLoad if I Have To

I was really surprised to see that a white paper about DataLoad is scheduled to be presented at the upcoming OAUG conference COLLABORATE 06 in Nashville, Tennessee (April 23 - 27, 2006). When did DataLoad become the official Oracle integration tool?

I embraced DataLoad in its early days in late nineties and it saved my rear many times. However, all this time I’ve been thinking of DataLoad as a provisional “copy and paste” solution until Oracle, or somebody else, comes up with a better idea. I guess there is a place for a nimble data management tool like DataLoad for uploading smaller volumes of data. But I would not recommend it for anything more than 10 to 1,000 records. I’d rather see Oracle Web ADI Integrators or “Define-Your-Own-Integrator” integrator for all existing Oracle Applications APIs. I hope Oracle stays committed to enabling integration between MS Excel and Oracle Applications.

Meanwhile, I will love DataLoad. I will keep creating new templates and keep watching for hours as DataLoad copies and pastes data into the applications. While you are waiting with me, visit DataLoad for product information, user guides, sample spreadsheets and free downloads.
