     I have heard that some SQL databases can import fields from a file
into attributes of relations. I have also heard that this can be done from
a file that originated from a device externally networked to the device on
which the SQL database resides. Has anybody had any experience with this?
How efficient/inefficient is this compared to a remote SQL query from a 
device networked to an SQL db?

     Please send e-mail, and I will summarize to the net. Thanks.
