Re: sqlldr

Hello   I do not have experience with 9i and 8i. One paper that I downloaded from OTN (I think) is: Install and Configure the Oracle 9i Platform. This paper starts with preinstall task: Remove installed oracle databases and removed all installed oracle software from  the machine. I believe this is just to simplify the new install. We have a NT server with oracle 7.3.4 and 8.1.6 installed in two homes and there are no problems.   Yechiel Adar Mehish ----- Original Message ----- From: Eriovaldo Andrietta To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 2:13 AM Subject: Re: sqlldr   HI Yechiel :   How can i to install two versions of Oracle in the same server , like :   Oracle 8i and Oracle 9i, in oracle_home different.   Is it possible ?   Regards   Eriovaldo     ----- Original Message ----- From: Yechiel Adar To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2002 8:18 PM Subject: Re: sqlldr Hello Stephen   Thanks for the link. The article is very illuminating. As we have some loader tuning to do I thank you for sharing the knowledge.   Yechiel Adar Mehish ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Andert To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 6:43 PM Subject: Re: sqlldr Ravi,   To the best of my knowledge, there is no limitation on the number of records that can be loaded at a time other than the size of your rollback segments. I have loaded 10's of millions of rows in a single sqlldr job by setting some parameters.  There are defaults that work, but don't perform very well.  To determine appropriate settings, you may want to read an article I wrote for O'Reilly & Associates (located at http://oracle.oreilly.com/news/oraclesqlload_0401.html) which gives the step-by-step directions on setting 2 of the key parameters (BINDSIZE and ROWS).  It's a pretty easy thing to do, but without knowing you data, the only advice I could give is that DIRECT is the best quick tuning fix if you can.   If you are going to be doing any serious data loading with SQL*Loader, Jonathan's book Oracle SQL*Loader: The Definitive Guide would be a good investment.   HTH Stephen >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/25/02 10:13PM >>> i belive there is a limitation on the number of records that can be loaded from sqlldr at a time based on the bind array and rows default parameter. if i have a data file with more than 5000records(don't know the exact number) that needs to be imported using sqlldr what is the value i need to set for the "rows" and/or "bind array" for me to load the records to the table at one attempt. thanks ravi -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ravindra B   INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services    -- (858) 538-5051  FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California        -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).  You may also send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing).
