All of the products mentioned in this thread use Firebird's "Insert" statement to load the data. I suspect this is going to take a very long time to complete.

Depends on what you consider "a very long time".

With a JDBC based tool that uses batched statements it takes about 5 minutes to load 1.5 Million rows into a sample table on my laptop.

The table is relatively narrow (only 5 varchar columns) though.

This is with a default installation of Firebird 2.5 on a Windows XP 32bit laptop. So the harddrive isn't very fast either.
