Oracle Internet File System presents oracle tables as files. It's just a presentation layer on top of the
database. As databases are far more complex then file systems, that means that oracle IFS will be
much slower then NFS or CIFS (to unix users known as Samba or SMB). On the other hand, loading things
to and from the database will be reduced to copying things.
