Usually, the database vendors maintain and supply their bulk loading utility for a reason - you can't beat sqlldr (or in my case, isql) for their raw loading speed. They are able to circumvent some of the API restrictions that the rest of the database interface needs to follow.

I recommend you look into writing the control file and then shell out to sqlldr to load your data. A templating system will make generating the control file very convenient.

A second route could be to see whether Oracle supports something like LOAD TABLE..., that is, an SQL/DBI interface to sqlldr. That will likely only work on the machine where the database process lives, but you could get a nicer API for error reporting that way than when parsing command output.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
