I'm doing this from memory, so you may want to RTFM to verify this information.

With a non-parallel insert, you will need to use the APPEND hint to avoid generating redo. Read the fine documentation as to why this is necessary.

With a parallel INSERT, the data will all be APPENDed by default anyway, so the logs will not be generated.

Hi all.

I've been trying to copy a 20mil rows table between two databases via insert as select statement. I have dropped all the indices and ran in nologging mode with hints forcing parallel execution of both ISERT and SELECT. While checking the archive directory I have noticed that the archives have been created every 2 minutes. I have cancelled the load and noticed that I forgot to alter system enable parallel dml so in effect the load was going in sequential mode. Then I reran my script having added the alter system statement and there we no archive created while it ran.
So it looks like even without the indices a sequential insert as select nologging still creates the archives wihle the parallel - doesn't. Does it sound right? If so, why. I thought the nollogging and with no indices shouldn't produce any log info regardless of the mode.

TIA Gene
