DXLoader Task Configuration
Field	What to enter/select
Load Method	Choose one of the following database load methods:
	Direct load	Stores data directly to the database. This option locks the Detail table, loads the information, and ends the call to the database. No sharing of tables is allowed during this process. A direct load is the fastest method.
	Conventional load	Uses Insert statements, one row at a time. Performs multiple selects and inserts on the table at once, but does not lock up the database and lock out Web users. A conventional load is slower than a direct load.
