Product Review: MS Access and Oracle Loader
Data Loader is a versatile tool that allows for seamless import and export of data between various formats such as MySQL, Oracle, MS Access, FoxPro, DBF’s MS SQL Server, CSV, and Delimited or Flat Files. The latest version, 3.0, comes with a host of new features that make data management even easier and more efficient.
One of the standout features of Data Loader is its ability to transfer data from one database format to another while also offering the option to filter columns and specify WHERE conditions. This makes it an invaluable tool for businesses and individuals looking to streamline their data management processes.
With the new Folder polling feature, Data Loader can now watch for files in a specified folder at set intervals and automatically load data from filenames matching a specified pattern into tables. This automation saves time and effort, especially for tasks that need to be performed regularly.
Another key enhancement in Version 3.0 is the support for MS-Access 2007 and MS-SQL Server Express Edition, making it compatible with a wider range of databases. Additionally, users can now monitor progress while running saved sessions, providing greater visibility and control over data transfer processes.
For those using MySQL databases hosted on Shared Web Hosting, Version 2.5 added the ability to load data easily, along with the option to change and choose destination table names. The enhanced Column Mapping feature allows for loading data from multiple delimited flat files to multiple tables in one session, further streamlining data transfer processes.
Overall, Data Loader is a powerful tool that is suitable for businesses of all sizes and individuals who need to efficiently manage and transfer data between different formats. Its in-built Scheduler eliminates the need to run jobs repeatedly, allowing users to schedule sessions and have them automatically executed in the background. Whether you are a data analyst, database administrator, or business owner, Data Loader is a must-have tool for simplifying data management tasks.
