To import all the data from a table, you can either use Oracle SQL Developer or the SQL*Loader tool. Below are examples of both methods:

  1. Utilizing Oracle SQL Developer:
  1. Open Oracle SQL Developer and connect to the database.
  2. Find the table you want to import data from in the left navigation bar.
  3. Right-click on the table and choose the option “Import Data”.
  4. Choose the file from which to import data in the pop-up dialog box.
  5. Click on “Next” and follow the instructions to complete the data import process.
  1. Utilizing the SQL*Loader tool:
  1. Create a data file containing the data to be imported, ensuring that the file format aligns with the columns of the target table.
  2. Create a control file that describes the format of the data file and how to load the data into the table.
  3. Open the command line window and use the following command to run the SQL*Loader tool to import data:
sqlldr username/password@database control=control_file.ctl data=data_file.dat

username is the database username, password is the password, database is the database name, control_file.ctl is the control file name, and data_file.dat is the data file name.

You can easily import all data from a table into an Oracle database using the two methods mentioned above.
