One of the best tricks, that puts your import in the turbo mode and lets
you import 85 mph in a 55 mph zone
is setting "_disable_logging" to true. Now, this is a dangerous
suggestion and you must make sure that neither
your instance nor machine crashes or you lost the entire database. This
parameter was (ab)used for benchmarks
against the databases that didn't have such protection mechanisms and
were relying on the protection of the underlying
Unix systems instead. Of course, dirty tricks like this were sometimes
applied by equipment resellers. I am aware of
a benchmark in which EISA-based lintel PC has beaten much more powerful
SGI Indigo2 workstation by using this
trick. I know of another member of this list who is aware of the same
benchmark.
Benchmarking tricks aside, this can really speed up your import because
you will eliminate large portion of your I/O.
This suggestion will probably draw some fire, but I will readily take it.
