Dave,

I would say that it depends since an external table uses SQL*Loader anyway, it just ends up in a temporary table vs. a permanent one. Saves on redo generation as well.

Has anyone benchmarked external tables versus sqlldr for loading data? Before I start using external tables I thought I'd see if it was worth my time.
