Re: Transaction without any Rollback Segment

Good Morning,

     Another possible method would be to use SQL*Loader. This might be a good option if you can't directly connect to the first database, but you can get the table info into a delimited text filed. SQL*Loader using the 'direct' and 'unrecoverable' options is very fast. On our system (Dec Alpha, NT, Oracle 8) it takes 17 seconds to load 54000 records. One caution, there are some issues related to indexes and constraints when doing a direct load. See 'Oracle 8 Utilities' in the online docs for details. Hope it helps.
