External Table File Format

Hi

I've searched Google for a couple of days trying to find the format of an external table.

I use Delphi with the UIB components and need to create an external file to be imported into Firebird.

I have a program that needs to add upwards of 100,000 records everytime it runs. It works OK with insert statements and commits every 1000 records but I would like to speed it up if possible.

Thanks
Taoh

You should improve your search skills (or just create and populate one from your database and check how it turns out, that takes certainly less than two days.
Searching this forum is also good, see here and here

Hi

By two days I meant searching AND TRYING solutions without success and I couldn't figure out how to search just this forum. - I have now.

I have managed to do what is required using external tools, but they use a binary format which I can't figure out.

I am trying to create a set of data outside FB then import it.

Cheers
Taoh
