Hi. We are loading tables using Ab Initio and SQL*Loader in paralel in direct path mode. Now today the process failed. I thought that no records would be added to the table, but we seem to found about 64000 of them in the table. How/why would this happen? Thanks for any insight Gene

If you've got a sql statement that expects more than one row back across a database link it is very likely to issue a ' select column,column,etc... from table_name' statement across the link resolve things locally via a temporary table, which is not indexed of course. Dick Goulet
