SQL*Loader - loading problem [message #70910]

I'm loading 5 tables - each with about 20 million rows. When I load individually using DIRECT=True and PARALLEL=TRUE, I'm able to load in about 35 minutes. But when I run all the sqlldr scripts at the same time to load the 5 tables simultaneously, the processes are taking forever and seem to go into a frozen state.

Also, I was planning on running an import for 12 other tables (smaller - between 200,000 and 2 million rows) at the same time as the sqlldr. Would there be any problems if I did that?

Could someone please help me with these two issues.

Thank you
Sai

Hello Mahesh,
is COMMIT=Y a valid flag for sqlldr? If you meant COMMIT=Y for imp, then I'm already doing it. My main main problem is with sqlldr and the 5 tables loading simultaneously.
Thank you,
Sai

sorry for that...commit=y is for import
try these.
1.Run the SQL*Loader job as the owner of the table.
2.Temporarily remove the degree of parallelism from the table
before running the job (if DP is set).
3.if sqlnet tracing is enabled ....turn it off.
4.also increase your sort_area_size and make sort_area_retained_size
equal to it.
5.u can also try to use UNRECOVERABLE
(if applicable..becuase..it doesnt create any logs).

If the datafiles being used by the tablespace(s) are on the same disk I would suggest running 2 jobs at a time or you will have an I/O bottle neck nightmare.
