Part 4: The Connect XE Drivers : The Salesforce Driver : Using DataDirect Bulk Load With the Salesforce Driver
  
Using DataDirect Bulk Load With the Salesforce Driver
The driver supports DataDirect bulk load. Bulk load connection options are located on the Bulk tab of the driver Setup dialog box. The driver sends data to a Salesforce instance using the Salesforce Bulk API instead of the Web Service API. Using the Bulk API significantly reduces the number of Web service calls the driver uses to transfer data and may improve performance.
See Using DataDirect Bulk Load for a general description of DataDirect bulk load and its implementation.
