The driver emulates bulk load using the standard batch mechanism because Amazon Redshift does not have native bulk load support. You can perform bulk load operations by creating a DDBulkLoad object and using the methods provided by the DDBulkLoad interface in the com.ddtek.jdbc.extensions package for bulk load. See "Using a DDBulkLoad Object" and "BulkLoadBatchSize."

Important: DataDirect Bulk Load requires a licensed installation of the driver. If the driver is installed with an evaluation license, the bulk load feature is available for prototyping with your applications, but with limited scope. Contact your sales representative or DataDirect SupportLink for further information.
Important: Because a bulk load operation may bypass data integrity checks, your application must ensure that the data it is transferring does not violate integrity constraints in the database. For example, suppose you are bulk loading data into a database table and some of that data duplicates data stored as a primary key, which must be unique. The driver will not throw an exception to alert you to the error; your application must provide its own data integrity checks.
