Age old question I guess, but looking for the up to date answer.
We have requirement to process up to 500,000 records of data currently held in a text file. Currently we process these through external C procedures and only totals are loaded into the database, Now we have a functional requirement which probably means we need to load all the records into a database table. Is sqlloader still the quickest option? What other options are there? We know that utl_file is too slow. External tables? Platform is 8.1.7 on AIX moving soon to 9i release 2 If there any up to date documents or discussion threads you can point me at please do so.
