"An Oracle stage" means what, exactly? Any Oracle stage type? Server or Parallel make any difference?

Verify that duplicates do not exist in the data you are attempting to load.

You failed to add the DEFFUN you need.

Server routine, not Parallel.

I know, I know... just got it bass-ackwards this one time.
