so GTT's help reducing redo when you do inserts and deletes? but not for deletes? there was a post by tom kyte on dejanews from a few years back where someone asked the redo question and he recommended GTTs.
here is the link... did I misread it? http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=89r5a7%249q3%241%40nnrp1.deja.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Doracle%2Bglobal%2Btemp%2B%2Bkyte%2Bredo%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26hl%3Den%26btnG%3DGoogle%2BSearch > > From: Richard Foote <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2003/05/29 Thu AM 08:45:46 EDT > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Which method is more efficient > > > ----- Original Message ----- > To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 3:14 AM > > > > 1. to totally eliminate redo, load your staging records into a global temp > table. it has absolutely no redo and is very fast. > > Hi > > The above is not quite true.
