Jared - Thanks for posting this. At the moment, we are preparing to move large database to a new server. Based on the advice you posted several months ago, we have been testing SQL*Loader and as you predicted, it is indeed fast. But also as you predicted, using SQL*Plus to create a CSV isn't very fast. Am I correct in assuming the dump.sql will not be the best choice for large tables? We are installing perl since you mentioned that would probably be much faster.
