Re: Why is impdp slow to import empty tables

Are there any triggers, indexes, or other peculiarities to these tables?

Assuming you are not deferring segment creation: How much space is being pre-allocated to each table? Are the tablespaces already large enough for the defined extents, or are they being grown incrementally? Does the storage have journalling and is that impacting the previous two things?

No data does not necessarily mean empty.

there's no actual data to import.

The output from the impdp job seems to be spending anywhere between 2-5
seconds per table. Times 20000 tables I'm looking at anywhere between 12 and
24 hours to import the entire database.

I could understand large tables, but I would expect fractions of a second for
empty tables. Does this sound normal? Any strategies I could employ to speed
this up?
