Re: sqlldr

Hello

I do not have experience with 9i and 8i. One paper that I downloaded from OTN (I think) is: Install and Configure the Oracle 9i Platform. This paper starts with preinstall task: Remove installed oracle databases and removed all installed oracle software from the machine.
I believe this is just to simplify the new install. We have a NT server with oracle 7.3.4 and 8.1.6 installed in two homes and there are no problems.

      Ravi,
       
      To the best of my knowledge, there is no limitation on the number of records that can be loaded at a time other than the size of your rollback segments. I have loaded 10's of millions of rows in a single sqlldr job by setting some parameters.  There are defaults that work, but don't perform very well.  To determine appropriate settings, you may want to read an article I wrote for O'Reilly & Associates (located at http://oracle.oreilly.com/news/oraclesqlload_0401.html) which gives the step-by-step directions on setting 2 of the key parameters (BINDSIZE and ROWS).  It's a pretty easy thing to do, but without knowing you data, the only advice I could give is that DIRECT is the best quick tuning fix if you can.

      If you are going to be doing any serious data loading with SQL*Loader, Jonathan's book Oracle SQL*Loader: The Definitive Guide would be a good investment.

      i belive there is a limitation on the number of records that can be loaded
      from sqlldr at a time based on the bind array and rows default parameter.
      if i have a data file with more than 5000records(don't know the exact
      number) that needs to be imported using sqlldr
      what is the value i need to set for the "rows" and/or "bind array" for me to
      load the records to the table at one attempt.

      thanks
      ravi
