Following the information @Alex Poole provided in his comment, I was able to add the sqlldr binary to an Oracle instant client installation on redhat linux. The key is to have access to a full oracle client (or database) installation from which to obtain the sqlldr binary.

In summary here was the process I took with Oracle 11.2.0.3.0:

Install Oracle Instant Client

Download from oracle instant client rpms:

  • oracle-instantclient11.2-basic-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm
  • oracle-instantclient11.2-jdbc-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm
  • oracle-instantclient11.2-devel-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm
  • oracle-instantclient11.2-sqlplus-11.2.0.3.0-1.x86_64.rpm

Install:

yum install oracle* --nogpgcheck
