SQL*Loader is strictly an ORACLE product.  Most of not all vendors provide some kind of utility to load tables from flat files. It's not a question of comparison; you can't use SQL Loader in DB2, neither can you use the DB2 Load Utility in Sybase. If the Utility doesn't satisfy your needs you have to write a program.

Most of these utilities use techniques for writing to disk blocks and sectors that are not available to application programs.  So I don't think the load program that you write will outdo the utility provided by the vendor.
