Actually, sql loader is used to import excel files in the database. Basically if you have a table in which there is no data, you can either enter the data manually or you can load it through 'sql loader'.
Chitresh said:   1 decade ago
So, input of sql loader - excel files containing data.

Output= data in the table.

Well, .csv (spreadsheet) can be seen as a table. Basically the concept of database has evolved from flat files (.CSV , .txt).

So, I think that is why Spreadsheet is treated as a database here...

(people who knows Office Macro would have much idea about it....)
