Wrong forum.
SQL*LOADER is the correct way to go for big files.
If for small files (up to 20k records) use of standars inserts will work fine, so use your language of choice to do it.
If only working with scripts (e.g. Unix scripts or even DOS command line) then SQL*LOADER is your best option.
Documentation is available freely from along with same samples.
