RE: Nologging clause

To add to Greg's answer a bit, there are a few other operations that are 
"direct path", in addition to INSERT /*+ APPEND */.

Off the top of my head:
index creation/rebuild
create table as select ...

And there may be a few others.  Any non-append insert, any delete or update, 
will *always* log.

Hope that helps,

-Mark

PS  As far as insert /*+ append */ goes, it only applies to a multi-row insert, 
like insert /*+ append */ into tab select * from tab2;
Something like insert /*+ append */ into tab values(...); WILL log.

This is correct.  The [NO]LOGGING only changes direct path operations.
 That is, inserts with the /*+ APPEND */ hint.

So if you want NOLOGGING you need either:
- NO ARCHIVE LOG mode
- ARCHIVE LOG mode, NOLOGGING, and APPEND hint
