Tim, What performance problems are you having exactly? Did you run a 10046 trace? Are you passing the {ora_check_sql => 0} in your prepare() call?
Also, I would suggest you look into SQL*Loader. Nothing you ever write in Perl will give you the insert speed you will get with this utility. ----------------- Ron Reidy Senior DBA Array BioPharma, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Tim To [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 11:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: performance problem with dbd oracle Hi, How can I improve performance when using oracle dbd? We have an urgent performance problem where inserting data into an Oracle 9i database using DBI/DBD oracle is at least five times slower than stright sql using sqlplus. Any suggestion is appreciated.
