Re: performance of sql loader

Regarding #2, you also need to be aware of how parameters interact with
each other.  For example in non-direct loads, ROWS and BINDSIZE work
hand-in-hand. Increasing one but not the other (or not enough) will
bottleneck and it will use a smaller array to load.

Not enough information.  Increased from what?  To what?  If you
increase the array size enough to start swapping, it may have
a negative impact on performance.  ;)

performance of sql loader

2003-05-31 Thread rgaffuri
I was talking to some colleagues and they did the following tests. I was wondering if 
anyone else had similiar results or maybe they just didnt do it properly. 

They are using standard SQLLOADER. No direct path inserts and doing some SQL data 
manipulation of the files. They found the following:

1. SQLLOADER with the SQL manipulation is much slower than 
Direct Path SQLLOADER to a staging table, then insert,update, and delete to the master 
table. 

2. As they increased the Array size or the commit size, the performance degradated 
rapidly. 

This sounds odd. Anyone else notice this? Or did they just do something wrong. Dont 
know what they did. They tried it before I started, I just have hearsay to go on. 
Sorry about the lack of details.

Sounds about right.  It's been awhile since making heavy use
of SQL Loader, but DIRECT is very fast.  Not surprising that 
manipulation could be done after loading a temp table and still
be faster than normal SQL Loader.
