Well the problem is set NOLOGGING to tablespaces does not give you better performance UNLESS your index logging attribute is set to NOLOG in the origin. But then again you should import withour indexes anyways. Importing data will ALWAYS generate redo since it´s plain insert statements and not insert append. I doubt very much you can even save any time by set to nologging at tablespace level. If you can get the _disable_logging effect without using the parameter do you think why this would even exist....? If you want fast import you can do several things, first of all get all the DDL statements 1. import only data 2. create indexes with the DDL and adding NOLOGGING and parallel clauses 3. create the constraints but keep them DISABLED 4. Enable the constraints by setting parallel degree at table level, by doing so parallel executions can be used Finally which is obvious restore the objects attributes, parallel degree, logging etc. This has been a very succesful method for me a few months ago when I was migrating several databases from Solaris to HPUX.
