A summary of DataLoad functionality is provided below, while a log of the new features and fixes in each DataLoad version is available here.
DataLoad provides a spreadsheet style interface and the data contained within that spreadsheet can be loaded into any system using a Macro load, or into Oracle Applications using Forms Playback. Either way, data or setup is loaded through the application's forms and that provides many advantages. Users have a choice between the free DataLoad Classic or more feature rich DataLoad Professional, a choice which is discussed further here.
