First guess - they're using direct load, and
still loading one row at a time, so you get
one row per block (or worse).

Since you've got the v$sql entry, check
executions against rows processed and see
if that gives you a clue.

Second guess - is your tablespaces using
auto segment space management: (e.g a
9.2 database with tablespaces created by
DBCA with default settings).  If so, check
a few blocks from each extent - there are
a couple of bugs in ASSM that could lead
to massive space wastage (like only using
3 blocks per extent before allocating a new
extent).

Subject: Informatica Bulk Mode behavior


List,
Is anyone familiar with how Informatica's bulk mode works?   

We have a situation where I created a 4GB tablespace for a new and
simple 
truncate/load operation from Informatica, around 7 million rows
estimated 
to take up 1.5GB.  
  
Using bulk mode, which appears to be a direct load (in the SQL cache,
the 
INSERT statement has a hint that I've never seen before:  SYS_DL_CURSOR
which 
I assume stands for Direct Load), they run out of space in the
tablespace after 
about 200K rows have been inserted.
