I have 3,.000,000 plus rows to null out in my database. This will run for quite a while if I do it in sqlplus and when I am done I will commit. I am afraid of system slowdown unitl the commit is executed. I am know going to write a pl/sql program to perform the update so I can control how often the update stmt commits. What is a good rule of thumb on commits. How many statements can I process before I commit and still not hamper system performance.
