Did you trace your session? That will tell you where the waits are = occurring.

Subject: Temp space in 10g and data insert speed

List,
OS Redhat AS 3.0 u3 memory 750 Meg swap 1.5 Gig Oracle 10.1.0.3

I have created the database and included the temporary temp tablespace.

The sga is created using the sga_target and sga_max parameters using 685 Meg
and there still is free memory via the TOP command. The swap space does not show as being used.
The tables have been created along with the indexes and I am now starting to insert the data.
My question. In the past I have had to create large temp tablespaces to handle the inserts with indexes but on this database I see no increase in the size of the temp tablespace. The manuals describe the temp tablespace as being used for the "user" created objects and sorts created by the "users".
The inserts are taking a long time ( hours) to insert 4 million rows. What could be the possible option that I have missed in creating the database that
would allow for inserts and index creation to be faster. I know that I should drop the indexes during dataloads but using my play/test box with 9i is a lot faster inserting data into the same table. =20
Listed is my init.ora---
