Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Recommenations for a DB conversion using SQL Loader
Previous conversion that we did-we also built the indexes after the data was there.. we had a ton of data.. And it was 3x faster to build the indexes and add constraints after the data got to the "destination"..

Ken,
A few things you could try here:
If you have a huge amount, you might want to consider dropping all of the indexes, except for the primary and unique key constraints. (I don't like to take chances when it comes to data integrity.) This would save you a boatload of time.
Regards,
Jeff
I am working on a one time DB conversion project for a state government
entity. I have a DB (8.1.7 on W2000 server) setup without the application
SW that I am using to load the data into from flat files. When I get this
data loaded I will then load it into the production tables at the client
site. I will not be running any applications on this DB, it's for
conversion purposes only. I am running into some constraint violation
problems since I am loading the data to each table one at a time. Would it
be prudent to disable the constraints until I get all the data loaded?
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Ken
