SQL*Loader might be an excellent option.

You can go for any one either Oracle*Loader or External tables.
But I believe Oracle*Loader is a better option in terms of performance. Smile

You believe is wrong. The engine is the SAME one.
And if you have some transformations external table is the far best way.

@Michel

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Actually I just opted for both methods in one case and in that I found SQL*Loader was faster.
May be due to some other issues SQL*Loader performed well than External Tables.
