Does anyone has done a load from a MainFrame binary file (EBCDIC char set) into Oracle 8 for UNIX (AIX)?

Since we have large file to transfer and load, we are looking to do the FTP transfer in a binary mode instead of ASCII mode to reduce the time to transfer the data across the network. But to acheive that we would require Oracle to be able to read and load that binary file coming from the MainFrame. Going through the documentation of Oracle I didn't find anything on this. So if anyone knows how and would be willing to share this information, it would be very helpfull.

Thanks in advance. Received on Sat Nov 20 1999 - 12:44:26 CST
