How many indexes do you have on the table columns? Ron >>> hespinoza@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 03/12/2004 8:18:44 AM >>> No Blobs, No Longs, No BFILE, only VARIANT, FLOAT AND INTEGER (14 fields), direct load.

Man, you're doing something seriously wrong. How many MEMO fields do you have? What are you loading them into? Blobs? Longs? BFILE? As for SQL*Loader, if you were doing parallel and direct load into a NOLOGGING table, and if the stuff you were loading consisted of short numeric/textual fields, the whole thing would be loaded in less then 10 minutes on a 400 MHZ PC using the sorry excuse for an operating system, produced near Seattle, WA. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
