Re: newbie DBLOAD to Oracle question

Hi Nevin,
At SUGI29 Lois Levin covered a lot of this; see
http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/sugi29/106-29.pdf

there is a lot deal of _great_ db information in the SUGI (as
well as the Regional UG) proceedings. For SUGI, see:

http://support.sas.com/usergroups/su...ngs/index.html

Information re Oracle is probably the most common, but DB2,
SQL Server and the others are there as well.
