Hello list I have a doubt regarding the following question : ************** SQL*Loader reads a set of records from a file, generates INSERT commands, and passes them to the Oracle kernel. Oracle then finds places for those records in free blocks in the table and updates any associated indexes. Which SQL*Loader mode is used in this scenario? A. direct-path load B. conventional path load
Answer : Direct-path load , ( It is said "free blocks" which implies "Direct-Path Load", because "Conventional-Path Load" also use partially filled blocks. ) *************** Shouldn't it be conventional path load, because insert commands are being used . Direct path load builds blocks of data in memory and saves these blocks directly into the extents allocated for the table being loaded -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
