Sean,
Let me remove some of your question marks.
Pro*C can handle any volume of data from low to extremely high, and simple to
extremely complex not to mention stuff you can't read any other way, like jpg's,
bmp's, and the like. The data source can be most anything you can program to,
flat files, other database, etc... Ease of use is a little harder to get one's
hands around. If you know C and SQL, then your 90% of the way there. The one
item that is really great is that you can include some VERY robust error and
exception handling capabilities that SQL*Loader, SQL*Plus and others can't.

Thanx to all who responded on my query about Data Load options. I've tried
to summarise below. To try and put a lid on it I'd appreciate feedback on
gaps, any corrections and obs on data volume metrics.
Low volume = <10Mb
Medium volume = >10Mb <100Mb
High Volume = >100Mb
Option Volume Data Data Source
Ease of use (includes learning curve)
