why do we need UNIX shell script to load data into Oracle database

Hello everyone,

I am new to shell scripting/ loading data into a database.
I want to load data into Oracle database using SQL loader. Can some one please explain why do we need unix shell script to load the data into the database? Also can someone please explain what has to be in that script?

Can't I say sql loader with the username, password and the .ctl file to be loaded into the database?

Sorry to ask this silly question, but I want to understand.

Thank you!
