Hey gang...any suggestions on how to speed up an import? I am trying to import to a new SAP database server. Oracle 9.2.0.5 on HP-UX11i. There appears to be a lot of I/O activity, but overall I get a feeling of the system dragging. Some DB params are: db_cache_size =3D 2147483648 log_buffer =3D 2097152 sort_area_retained_size =3D 0 sort_area_size =3D 5242880 undo_management =3D AUTO db_writer_processes =3D 4 java_pool_size =3D 167772160 Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike --- =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= Michael P.
