The overhead is slightly worse than that.
Oracle updates in situ, then deletes and
inserts.

It's especially unpleasant if you've prefixed
all your local indexes.

Yes, and since at least Oracle 8.1, if you create the table with, or enable
'ROW MOVEMENT' on the record.

Of course, there is an additional overhead to doing this, you are
effectively doing a delete and insert, but if you have a packaged
application that does silly things you may need to do this.
