Re: High Volume Inserts

Not really. But anyways, use a tool like the performance monitor in OEM to see what exactly the database is waiting on and the SQL that is being used. Also, use tools on the db server like netstat, vmstat, sar etc., to see if there are other bottlenecks there. Then blame the network.

As a developer, go read any current book by Thomas Kyte. Also, see asktom.oracle.com, search for bulk insert. Then blame websphere :-)

Where is the validation coming from?
