Hi.

We are using Ab Initio to load bunch of tables. The load is done via SQL*Loader in direct mode in parallel. We have 8 streams. According to Oracle documentation in this situation Oracle would create temporary extents for every process to dump the data and will merge these extents into one at the end. In my case however the latter part doesn't seem to be happenning. After every load the number of extents in the table increase by 8 and the size of these extents is 32K while the NEXT parameter is 512K. Does anyone know anything about this and how do I force oracle to indeed merge the temp extents?

thanks
