Hi, Our application uses sqlplus + sqlloader to transfer data between databases. It takes nearly four hours to unload to data to flat files(1G), which is far too slow. In the application, the query looks like the following. All those &3,&4,&5 are for sqlldr format. select ' ' || '&4' || replace( replace ( ltrim(dealerid), '&4', '&4' || '&4' ), CHR(10), CHR(10) || '&5' ) ||'&4'||'&3' || ... from table_name f where eventdate >= to_date(&1) and eventdate <= to_date(&2); Firstly, there is nothing wrong with the query, since if I insert into a table it only takes less than 15 minutes. Therefore, there must be problem with either sqlplus or Networking. With sqlplus, I increase arraysize from 1 to 2000. With Networking, I put tcp.nodelay=yes on protocol.ora. Both doesn't work.
I try thrid party software which is writen by Pro*C to download tables to flat file. Its speed is more than 60M/minute. I monitor v$session_event while it's running.The only different is event "SQL*Net message from client". In AVERAGE_WAIT and MAX_WAIT, the different is huge. sqlplus: TOTAL_WAITS TOTAL_TIMEOUTS TIME_WAITED AVERAGE_WAIT MAX_WAIT 49 0 5998 122.4 1004 Pro*C: TOTAL_WAITS TOTAL_TIMEOUTS TIME_WAITED AVERAGE_WAIT MAX_WAIT 351 0 677 1.92 42 What's the problem sqlplus or net8? BTW, dblink doesn't work since the two databases on isolated network. emp/imp is an option. However, I just try to find out what is wrong with sqlplus one. I test 8.0.5 and 8.1.7 on solaris 2.6-2.8.
