Is it possible that we add a "native bulk insert" function which is coded up in each adapter. Even bulk_insert is an odbc 1 row at a time-slow for big files. I need to load huge files all the time and I am writing custom modules to do this with a native loader. Should this be a dal option? Worth noting that this type of operation is a batch, back end thing, I wouldn't do this for a end user web app.
I would expect that each DBMS needs different info to start a bulk load, so the interface may be tricky, or just pass a dict and let the adapter work it out. What do you think? --
