certainly sqlldr direct is the way to do until you could look at external tables in ver 9. The only advice I would add is that if you do go the external table route in v9, try get more benefit than just replacing sqlldr with some sql.

I've seen a few places where they adopted external tables but they still just loaded the data from the external into staging tables and then did some processing, where I think the aim should be to use the external table and possibly some pipelining to streamline the process.
