Don't forget to provide a good row estimate with the COPY INTO statement

Hi Federico,

for bulk data loads into MonetDB/SQL, COPY INTO from CSV file(s) is strongly
recommended over SQL scripts with INSERT statements. COPY INTO is
significantly faster.

If you do not instantly understand what "creating binary BAT files" and
"attaching binary BAT files" means, you most probably do not need to worry
about options.

Kind regards,
Stefan
