I need to install SQL Loader in ubuntu to access the Oracle 12c r1 on different box.

My understanding is that Ubuntu is not certified for Oracle . Want to confirm my understanding .

If yes , please provide the link to install instructions.

Check on support.oracle.com, because certified platforms and versions change periodically.

Also, there is obviously a difference between supported and experimentation. If it is just for personal use or experimenting with the product, then there is of course nothing to stop you from trying to install it on any linux platform.

oracle-base.com has a number of nice blog posts on installing the database on various linux flavours.

When we get the (downloadable) 12cR2 release of the Instant Client it looks to include support for Loader, import and export, datapump...

It should be much easier than deploying a full install for those tools.
