Two other options:
1) set up an HPL job; you can run it from the command line (if you really
don't want to use dbload, then this would be my recommendation).
2) switch your database to non-logging, run your load (leave out the
"commit"), switch database back to logging, then immediately perform a
level-0 archive.

You could drop the indexes, alter the table to "raw", do the load, and then
alter it back to "standard".
