Note:  I installed MySQL on my labtop (a Windows XP machine) which is 
located at the same site as the Oracle server, just to compare the insert 
times with the remote MySQL database.  Inserts which were taking over 4 
minutes were now completing in 90 seconds or less.  Approximately 1 second 
per insert is not great, but it is a lot better than what we were seeing 
before.  So, we are planning on moving our MySQL database server to the 
same site as the Oracle database.

Any other performance tuning suggestions would be be appreciated.

Thanks!
Bob

        Subject:        Slow Insert into MyISAM table from Oracle Stored 
Procedure


I've developed an Oracle PL/SQL stored procedure that takes information 
from an Oracle 9.2.0.5 database and inserts this information into a MySQL 
4.0.17 MyISAM table.  The insert takes over 3 minutes to insert 
approximately 90 records based on an Oracle SQL Trace.  A few things that 
may be factors in the slow performance

I use  MySQL ODBC 3.5.1 to connect Oracle to MySQL.  Are there any 
parameters MySQL ODBC parameters that can be tuned to improve performance? 

 I've tried to turn on tracing, but don't know if I am doing it correctly 
because I am not getting any .trc files.  Are .trc files only generated on 

errors?
The table in question has 98 columns with 3 text fields.  It appears the 
insert statements actually inserts all non-TEXT fields first and then 
updates the record with the TEXT field data.  I believe this is the 
expected behavior, but it is slowing things down a bit.  It would be nice 
if I could trick the MySQL database into thinking it's inserting into a 
VARCHAR or CHAR field. 
The MySQL server resides a couple of hundred miles away from the Oracle 
server so Network latency is a factor.  However, we do have a 786KB/s line 

with 70 ms latency which isn't bad.
The only parameter/variable I've changed from the default on the MySQL 
server is ascii.  There are probably some memory variables that could be 
tuned, but I'm not looking at high volumes yet, so I don't think that this 

would be the bottleneck. 

Any suggestions/recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob Runion
