Thank you, Amjad, The problem is that then I have to write a procedure for each of the tables. I was looking for something that could be set at database level and would apply to every table.

The tablespace increases to consume full disk space and yet seems to be demanding more so the operation doesn't complete. Is there a possibility to process commit after every 1,000 records? Is there any other way of doing it? TIA!
