If you have text files which contain fixed length fields with CRLF
separating the records, then you can declare this file as an external table.
You can then INSERT INTO INTERNALTABLE(FIELDS ... etc etc
Of I think there is also a backup/restore cycle you can do (see gbak
switches) to restore the external file into the database.

external files and then some.
