Are you importing to existing tables with indexes ?? Are you importing the indexes ??
One big way to speed up an import is to NOT import any indexes and, if the objects exist on the target database, to delete any indexes and rebuild them in a sperate action after the import is complete. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 4:35 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I do backup database nightly using export utility. When I restore database using import, it takes more than 6 hours to finish. Is there a way to speed up import process? Please advise.
