# Step 1: Load the Interface Tables

Using SQL*Loader, your favorite tool, or direct Oracle database-to-database communication, load your data into the required input columns in the following tables:

- KDLV_PACKAGES_INT

- KDLV_PACKAGE_LINES_INT

- KDLV_PACKAGE_NOTES_INT

See Table 5-1. KDLV_PACKAGES_INT interface table, Table 5-2. KDLV_PACKAGE_LINES_INT interface table and Table 5-3. KDLV_PACKAGE_NOTES_INT interface table.

Caution: User data is not validated during import.
