Hi Babu, No, I did not, and the effect is quite great:
Inserted 1000000 rows in 2535 milliseconds, 394477.3175542406 rows per second Inserted 1000000 rows in 2553 milliseconds, 391696.0438699569 rows per second compared to (without your parameter): Inserted 1000000 rows in 7643 milliseconds, 130838.67591259976 rows per second That is quite an increase!! Thanks a lot for the tip!! For those keeping score: we're now at 77% of Oracle's performance- without copy ;) >
