Hello Stephen
Thanks for the link.
The article is very illuminating.
As we have some loader tuning to do I thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Ravi,
To the best of my knowledge, there is no limitation on the number of records that can be loaded at a time other than the size of your rollback segments. I have loaded 10's of millions of rows in a single sqlldr job by setting some parameters. There are defaults that work, but don't perform very well. To determine appropriate settings, you may want to read an article I wrote for O'Reilly & Associates (located at http://oracle.oreilly.com/news/oraclesqlload_0401.html) which gives the step-by-step directions on setting 2 of the key parameters (BINDSIZE and ROWS). It's a pretty easy thing to do, but without knowing you data, the only advice I could give is that DIRECT is the best quick tuning fix if you can.
If you are going to be doing any serious data loading with SQL*Loader, Jonathan's book Oracle SQL*Loader: The Definitive Guide would be a good investment.

i belive there is a limitation on the number of records that can be loaded
from sqlldr at a time based on the bind array and rows default parameter.
if i have a data file with more than 5000records(don't know the exact
number) that needs to be imported using sqlldr
what is the value i need to set for the "rows" and/or "bind array" for me to
load the records to the table at one attempt.
thanks
