i am working on a project that has a bunch of sql server databases
(the one that comes for free) all over the country.  each of these
databases will be submitting a substantial amount of data to an Oracle
database. the data will run through a web service sitting on a .net
app server.

 originally the plan was to submit this data in the form of xml.  that
has turned out to be unacceptable performance wise.

i suggested creating text files and making use of external tables to
load the data. the problem here is that we do not have direct access
to the file system.  the files would have to be submitted to oracle
and then written out to the file system and then loaded.  I haven't
done any tests here but it seems like kind of a long way around a
problem.

  another option is to create a series of insert statements and
bundling them up into a clob.  i'm not sure that will be much faster
(nor scalable) as we would have to write something to strip out the
sql statements and then do a bunch of execute immediates.

anyone have any comments on these options or have better options? 
there has got to be a performant way to do this.  it's late on friday
and i'm having trouble focusing on anything but the 90 minute IPA i'll
be consuming shortly.
