[comp.databases] YAQA Sybase

Yet Another Simple Question about Sybase.  I want to fill in a table
of information that already exists on disk.  I simply need to get the
data into Sybase.  The only technique I know is:

	insert into mytable values (1,2,3)

repeat a couple of hundred times.  This seems to be unacceptable to
Sybase.  It complains about not having enough memory to forfill the
request -- it seems to require more than 64 pages.  So I added some
code to send off shorter groups of insert commands.  This seems to add
an extraordinary amount of time to the loading.

Is there some better way of loading a table of information into
Sybase?

Thanks in advance,
Eric
