I am on Oracle 9i with a HPUX platform and we are using Sql loader to
load tables from flat files.  With external tables now available to
handle this task, I was wondering which performs better.  A direct
load with sqlldr or using the external table.



I am leaning towards the ET because it will eliminate the need for a
staging table that we use on the sql loader method.
