I believe that transferring large quantities of data between
point A and point B at discrete intervals is not an optimal operation
in itself. I could argue a point that if application needs to do so, the application needs to be re-designed, possibly by using data guard
or similar tools which would transfer data continuously, in small
quantities. When the need for accessing the data arises, the data is
already there and all you need is a Cartesian product in which several
multi-gigabyte tables are accessed using full table scan, preferably
by using nested loops. That ought to keep the instance busy until the
next transfer.

Stephane,

After much experimentation it is my considered opinion that
SQL*Net is NOT the most efficient way to move data from point a to b,
especially when using DB_LINKS. SDU-TDU do help, but only marginally.
What you really need to do is use a bulk collect method that most
application duhvelopers just don't seem to understand. They like
their data by the spoon full, not dump truck load.

Db link slow ? Are you sure ? What was the bottleneck when you test ?

Using insert /*+ appent */ on non-indexed tables with nologging is
usually fast enough in most cases.

I know that we can play with the SDU-TDU parameters on sql*net but I
do not know what kind of performance improvement we can get from that.

Hi all,

we have an application which needs data from other environment (which
is actually SAP db). Currently we have implemented it the way we
create flat files and put them in using pl/sql -procedures but I don't
like this because the data in the flat files are "visible" and it is
somehow "secret".


What other options we might have if we do not want to use db links
(because of its slowness.

I very much appreciate all your suggestions...

TIA
