I'm new to PostgreSQL.  I have a background as an Oracle PL/SQL programmer.  I'm wondering if there's a comparable Postgres utility to Oracle's SQL*Loader?  I have several large fixed record length files that I need to load into the Postgres db.  Currently, I'm using the COPY command to load the data into temporary tables; I then parse the data and insert into a new table.   I'm wondering if there is a better solution.  Any help would be appreciated.
