I can't find the answer to this question in the Oracle documentation, so I thought maybe this list could help.

We are working on a load process that currently creates about 6Gig of redo. The process loads flat files into temp tables and then processes them into a schema. I am suggesting the work be done on another instance which is not in archive mode, and the results be EXP/IMP to production.

How are imports written to the redo logs? Would the result of the import write about the same amount of data as straight insert statements? My gut tells me no, but and direction as to the answer would be appreciated.
