Re: SQL Loader

As well as I know, you can not use SQl Loader if there is data in the table. Is that right? If that is the case, is there any other way of loading flat files into tables that already has some records?

The last question: Is SQl loader faster than sending individual sql statements from a CGI script? If yes, how much faster?
