Oracle7 Server Utilities

Audience

This manual is written for Oracle users who must perform the following tasks:

archive data, back up an Oracle database, or move data between Oracle databases using the Export/Import utilities

load data into Oracle tables from operating system files using SQL*Loader

To use this manual, you need a working knowledge of SQL and Oracle7 Server fundamentals, information that is contained in Chapter 1, "Introduction to the Oracle Server", in the Oracle7 Server Concepts manual. In addition, SQL*Loader requires that you know how to use your operating system's file management facilities.

Note: This manual does not contain installation instructions, since they vary by operating system. Directions for installing the utilities can be found in your operating-system-specific Oracle7 documentation.
