I've used it for data moving as well as reports. Works good for me. Why have a plethora of tools when some can work multi-purpose?

but have been told by a technical
specialist that
HA!
I am not familiar with Pro *C.
May be that's why he wants you to use it?
Pro *C is very hard to maintain. Furthermore, it is *easy* to
write bad programs with it. We use sql*ldr and sed/awk/perl/ksh
to get data into work tables, and then use sql and pl/sql scripts
to get data into live tables. Although in our shop SQR is indeed
used
more as a reporting tools, we have used it for a couple of data
issues.
Does anyone have any input?
