POPULATING DATA OVER A DATABASE LINK USING A SEQUENCE TABLE

Guys,

Is there anyway to make this process faster? We are migrating data into one database instance using a sequence table from another database instance. Apparently, the performance has been very slow. I know I had done this on another system years ago but was wondering if anyone had any advice to speed this up. In this case both the databases are on one machine. However, they are using the database link over TCP/IP. I was thinking that there was a way to avoid using the link over TCP/IP if they databases were on the same box. =20

Thanks,
Paula
