Couldn't help correcting these common misunderstandings:

> 1) OCI is the native C library for Oracle

No, the native C library is called UPI/OPI, OCI is a user API that calls UPI/OPI
> 2) Pro*C is the precompiler that takes 'native SQL' and turns it into OCI

No, Pro*C makes calls to UPI/OPI through a library called SQLLIB.

My recommendation would inserting records would be the array feature of Pro*C.

Just my pedantic 5 cents,
