Jack, I have another twist on this situation. Again I'm loading the tables in nologging mode with all the indices dropped. Both transactions are insert into table nologging (select *). The only difference is that one select is a select from a single table while the other - is a select from two joined tables.
The first insert (from a single) table produce archives, while the other (from two tables) - doesn't. Is there en explanation for that? thanks Gene --- Jack Silvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > sorry, meant insert as select, not insert as append > --- Jack Silvey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Gene, > > > > This sounds right. > > > > Standard insert as append does freelist block > > checking > > and generates redo.
