in thread Implementing a buffered read-and-insert algorithm

The problem is that Bulk Load APIs are very database-specific. For DBD::Sybase I managed to squeeze it so that it looks to the DBI user almost as a normal INSERT prepare()/execute() loop, but it might not be so easy for other drivers to make this conform to the normal DBI API.

And of course if you happen to need it for a particular database nothing's stopping you from coding the appropriate behavior into the driver :-)

(yes, yes, I know - it can be tricky to understand how the DBI internals work, and how that particular driver implements things...)
