Re: 10gR2 - direct path load with enabled indexes - lots of undo generated from indexes

Hello All,

We're doing a direct path to an empty table via:

insert /*+ APPEND*/ into TABLE as select * from other_schema.SAME_TABLE;

The table has a primary key and a few extra indexes. The goal is to
perform the entire operation in nologging mode. The table and all
indexes are "nologging".

From Tom Kyte's forum:

<quote>

/*+ append */ into a heavily indexed (or just indexed for that matter ) table is
mostly a waste of keystrokes. It's best for a bulk load into a table with no
indexes.

it would be better to disable the index, do the insert and then rebuild it
unrecoverable.
