What I meant is that checkpoint occurs only when redo log switches. We set log_checkpoint_interval = 210000 and our OS block size is 512. If I increase the size of redo log to 500 MB, checkpoint will occur before log switching. Will the transaction wait until checkpoint complete during checkpoint? Thanks for your inputs.

What does it mean that redo log size dominates checkpoint frequency?
It brings to mind cases of Edmund Blackadder and Baldrick or Ace Rimmer
and Lister & Kryten, both very clear cases of domination. I'm sure
that J. Lewis, as a Britt, can tell you more about Black Adder and Red Dwarf,
despite the fact that he missed those two subjects in his book.
Redo logs of 100M are not really large. You, basically, have two choices:
a) Increase redo logs to decent size (500M)
b) Disable indexes during load.


The third choice (out of two) would be to use "_disable_logging" parameter, recently
mentioned by Mr. Anjo Kolk. Now, that would be practical, don't you think?
