how so?  "_disable_logging" doesn't equal "immediate data loss"...so how
so?
Do you mean if you do not UN-set it at after the task (load) is
complete?

I agree 100%

        Hi,
        Well after a stress tests, and other test, in the previous days,
        losing a test database because redo logs corruption.
        
        using the parameter _disable_logging on Oracle 10g Release 2 and
        thanks to several comments in this list I can say. 
        
        You can get  useful improvements using this paramters, but...

        2)
        The only reason I found feasible to use it is when you have to
import 
        urgently (for example for a presentation) in 0:30 or tomorrow.
        Otherwise you can end losing your database.



nope. you can always end up losing your database with this set, you
better recognise it. time pressure is irrelevant (well actually improves
the likelihood of making a simple error and losing the db yourself)
_disable_logging would be better renamed
_I_REALLY_REALLY_REALLY_DONT_CARE_ABOUT_THIS_DATA. If you set it, that
is what you mean. 

oh, and importing for a presentation, what a weird pressure on a
database.
