Re: Loading data usng External Tables

The tests were done on a Linux VMWare machine, running on a single CPU pc (a
dell 600), configured with 1G or RAM, and a file-based disk. The DB used
ASM, with around 700M for the DB (SGA+stuff).

 Do you plan to update this thread with you current findings?  Also,
what type and config of system did you get that measured 4% out of?

Kevin,


I cannot give you any numbers, but I've surely seen much better
performance when loading from fixed format files.

If I got some time today, I'll do some tests and get back to you.
