Age old question I guess, but looking for the up to date answer.

We have requirement to process up to 500,000 records of data currently held in
a text file.

Currently we process these through external C procedures and only totals are

loaded into the database, Now we have a functional requirement which probably
means we need to load all the records into a database table.

Is sqlloader still the quickest option?

What other options are there? We know that utl_file is too slow. External tables?

Platform is 8.1.7 on AIX moving soon to 9i release 2

If there any up to date documents or discussion threads you can point me at please do so.
