Re: Long-running PL/SQL function (long)

Raj,

Thanks for your reply.

This is a one-time-only load to set up a new datamart from our existing warehouse. We have a separate process which will be doing periodic refreshes. However, yes, the inserts are going across the network with the current design.

Cherie,

If network bandwidth is the bottleneck, the use of Fast Refreshable snapshots will be a great help. Whereby you only pull the rows that have changed since the last refresh across to the primary.

                    Please respond

                    to ORACLE-L

Our developers sent me a function which is running quite long to see if I could give them any advice. It is written in PL/SQL for version 9.2.0.1 of Oracle on Sun Solaris. It is going across a database link. It reads tables in one database and loads a new table in a datamart table on another box. It looks like it will currently run for four or five days to load a 140 million-row table, which is longer than our available window.

I am wondering if anyone can look at the big picture and see if there are any obvious places for improvement of this overall design. I am open to any suggestions that I can relay back to the developers.

My gratitude to anyone who can wade through this and recommend improvements.
