This concurs with our database benchmarking we did with MySQL and 
PostgreSQL for the CARMA telescope.  In both cases, ascii file bulk ingest 
was the faster than other methods, MySQL was the clear winner between the 
two.  For the arguments regarding conversions to internal formats 
that Jacek related, I suspect that this fact is applicable to most 
databases.  

cheers,
