Is it possible to install SQL*Loader without installing the whole Oracle package?

Yes. In the client install package, custom installation, you can select database utilities as part of the install, which should get you SQL*Loader, among other things. | |||||||

the comments above were what i was looking for. the "instant client" has sqlplus, but does not have sqlldr. sqlldr requres the (full) "client" which is hidden off of a tiny fine print link on the craptacular oracle site. "Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)" http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win32soft-098987.html | |||

It seems, there is also a way to install SQL*Loader with instant clients: http://kimplove.blogspot.de/2010/08/installation-of-oracle-instant-client.html I'm quite sure it is not supported by Oracle and you need a client installation like DCookie explained. But it could be a solution when you need to install it on multiple servers. The alternative solution would be to make a installation like DCookie explained and create a rpm/deb from it and push it to multiple servers. | |||
