java sqlldr,从Java使用sqlldr

I have a Java utility for database imports. I'd like to be able to use sqlldr for performance on oracle. I could create the control and data files, but that doesn't seem like The Right Thing™ to do. I should be able to stream the data by providing INFILE "-" in the control file (q1 - how? from command line, I can pipe "echo " to the sqlldr, but there must be a way to just stream the string into the input stream for the process? never used Java for this before). I can't see how to stream the control file itself (q2 - or am I missing something obvious?). I could use named pipes, but I have no idea how to instantiate and use them from Java in windows (q3 - would that work and how?).

why must oracle be so complicated? it was trivial in mysql...

What you must remember is, Oracle is a venerable product. SQL Loader as a utility must be twenty years old, maybe more. So naturally it is harder to work with than some newer tools.

And that is why you should stop trying to fit SQL Loader into your new-fangled Java app :-) Look at external tables instead. Because these are database objects we can use SQL SELECTs against them, so it's a whole easier to automate load processes with them. I wrote a bit more about external tables in my answer to another question. Check it out.
