I want to know how to do a bulk-insert in Interbase 6.0 or Firebird
1.x. I get the impression that BDE will do it, but I am not using
BDE. I have been using the Interbase components in Delphi 7, but
would like to be able to do it from ISQL like I do with MSSQL, or
even the Interbase API.

I've searched Google, IBPhoenix, and all the IB6 PDF documentation.

Does Interbase support this at all? I see lots of documents
describing how to speed up bulk inserts, so I suppose it is. But
nobody says how to do it!
