See post below from Stephen Andert (21/6/02) David, <start shameless self-plug> I wrote an article last year about tuning SQL*Loader. It is at http://oracle.oreilly.com/news/oraclesqlload_0401.html I experienced a huge improvement in performance and others have told me that they were able to achieve similar improvements. <end shameless self-plug>
Stephen Also see the ORAFAQ mentioned at the bottom of each post on this list. That holds some very good info on sqlloader HTH John >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/20/02 04:20PM >>> I try to insert 14,000 rows into oracle database using SQLLDR and it takes too long to finish (around an hour). Is there a way to improve SQLLDR to make it run faster? For example, if modify parameter file will help? -----Original Message----- Sent: 25 June 2002 10:53 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have 150 000 lines to insert with sqlload and it takes 8 minutes, my feeling is this is too long. I tried in DIRECT mode, but I got some error, Direct mone does not work with pl/sql instriction like procedure or Sysdate value. I retrived any pl/sql instruction and any value like sysdate. I amiliorate the perf with 20 sec off. How can boost sqlloader?
