Low-latency method to replace SQL insert for bulk data transfer to relational database

A method of loading data into a database, comprising the steps of:

• providing an operating system and access method for a record data;
• providing a default input routine by the access method for the operating system;
• providing a database capable of having record data loaded therein;
• providing a computer's main memory;
• providing an application data section in the computer's main memory;
• providing an input buffer section in the computer's main memory;
• providing record data for loading into the database;
• the record data residing in the computer's main memory;
• invoking a coordinating program;
• invoking a load utility program that issues record data input requests, opens record data from external media and loads record data to the database therefrom;
• the load utility having a required syntax;
• with the coordinating program, intercepting record data input requests from external media made by the load utility program;
• replacing the record data input request from external media with record data input requests from the computer's main memory;
• formatting the record data to the syntax required by the load utility;
• moving formatted record data from the application data memory section to the input buffer section, for later processing by the load utility;
• inserting record data from computer's main memory directly into the database by the load utility;
• and
• whereby delays encountered by reading of input files on the external media by the load utility is avoided.
