No logging only works for the initial creation of an object. Thereafter Oracle has to
log the changes.

Have you considered dropping the indexes before import, then rebuilding parallel
nologging?

Subject: would imp speed affect by
setting indexes to NOLOGGING?

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Hi,
Would the imp speed increase by setting all indexes to NOLOGGING?
I have a schema with 249 tables and 442 indexes and I have a weekly schema
refresh program running as this:
exp schema from Server A (Oracle 8173 on Sun Solaris box)
ftp dump file from Server A to Server B, the dump file size is 1.9GB after
compression
imp schema on Server B (also Oracle 8173 on Sun Solaris box), the imp
usually take about 7 hours.
With everything elase the same, last week I changed all indexes in the
schema on Server A to "NOLOGGING" (they were all set to "logging" before),
hoping to increase the speed of imp on Server B. Because I thought the
"create index ... nologging" would reduce redo log writing, therefore
increase the imp speed quite a bit (there are some big indexes there!). But
this morning I found the imp still took about the same time as before,
although I was told that the system I/O seems to be lower.
Does anyone have similar experience? TIA.
Guang
