I've get your opinion that the DBI is faster than the 'pipe'-solution and that the way to work in Oracle much more important than the way to bring the requests upt to Oracle.
I have considered the sql*loader as a good option.
Thank you for that!

Generally speaking, I've get that the difference of involve the Oracle considerable insignificant relatively to the way of processing the Oracle staff.
So, more convenient and easy to handle (from coding side) way is reasonably more appropriate!

(I am interested in all other 'funny staff', like 'exadata', tkprof, '..developer', TOAD and 'clustered tables' and even much expressed by so wide ... referred area!
I hope that for some readers it would be a good guideline to learn Oracle tools and market.
One of the smart ways to hide information is to provide it with tones of unrelated information. )

Anyway, thank you for participation and your advance opinions!

Wow... So there was Oracle 2?
I would add Oracle SQL Developer (which has superb functionality but is an unstable memory hog... which is free where way better Toad-non-freeware costs a lot).
Tom Kyte from asktom? Then it might be a great book indeed.
I would add books by Steven Feuerstein (although it is mostly about PL/SQL).

Thanks for the post and for the summarize
