yeah dont commit every 1000 records and do it in one shot. this is going to be much slower.
why do you want to do it this way? Ive done 100m inserts with just an insert select and one commit.

I have 2 tables, Rqmt and Resource, same structure.
I need to take all almost-one-million records from Rqmt and insert them to Resource. So far this worked ok:
DECLARE RowCount NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN SELECT Count(*) INTO RowCount FROM RQMT;
IF RowCount > 0 THEN
INSERT INTO RESOURCE SELECT Resource_Id, Classification FROM RQMT;
RowCount := SQL%RowCount;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('TABLE Resource: ' || RowCount || '
Rows
transitioned.'); COMMIT; ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('TABLE Resource is empty. No data transitioned.'); END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN Raise; END; /
But now I need to commit every 1000 records. Any suggestions as to what would be the best way? I dont think ROWNUM would help here, because it would pick the same 1000 records every time, causing primary key violation...
thx maa

Why do you need the first count(*) ? If the table you have to insert from is big it's a waste of time. You can check SQL%ROWCOUNT after the insert in all cases.
Otherwise I fully agree with the implicit suggestion that you should question the reason for committing every 1000 rows. It would force you to adopt a row-by-row logic which will kill performance. The most acceptable solution might perhaps be an OCI program, in which you would fetch 1000 rows per 1000 rows in arrays and insert likewise. I don't see any way to do something similar in PL/SQL but it's close to midnight here and I am getting pretty tired.
The array fetch in OCI is equivalent to FETCH ... BULK COLLECT INTO ... in PL/SQL. The array insert in OCI is equivalent to FORALL i IN 1..1000
INSERT INTO ... in PL/SQL. IMHO, doing it in OCI won't be faster than the solution proposed by Stephen Lee using the COPY FROM command in SQL*Plus while setting copycommit to 1000, which essentially does the same thing. Doing it in PL/SQL won't be faster either because while PL/SQL code runs in-process with the database, it's not compiled like the OCI solution. So if the OP really wants to commit the insert every 1000 rows, IMHO the easiest and fastest solution would be to use COPY FROM in SQL*Plus.
