I use it. It's using direct load OCI.
Never had your problem.

What is the extent size (initial/next ) for the table? Are they using = multithread in the mapping?

Subject: Informatica Bulk Mode behavior

List,
Is anyone familiar with how Informatica's bulk mode works? =20

We have a situation where I created a 4GB tablespace for a new and simple=20
truncate/load operation from Informatica, around 7 million rows estimated=20
to take up 1.5GB. =20
 =20
Using bulk mode, which appears to be a direct load (in the SQL cache, the=20
INSERT statement has a hint that I've never seen before: SYS_DL_CURSOR which=20
I assume stands for Direct Load), they run out of space in the tablespace after=20
about 200K rows have been inserted.

If I then manually rebuild the table, the 200K rows gets compressed back down=20
to one extent.

So there's a lot of either empty or preallocated space. Thinking somehow=20
the high-water mark was the culprit, I manually truncated the table before=20
they reran their job. =20

Still the same problem. =20

If the job runs in 'normal' mode, which is row-by-row processing, it runs fine,=20
although of course, performance is quite poor.

Any ideas/experience as to how this bulk mode operates?

Thanks.
