I have a 9.2.0.3 DB running on AIX 4.3.3 An application running on W2K using SQLLDR to load approx 6g of data using local managed tablespaces ie.. CREATE TABLESPACE PARENTDAT DATAFILE '/vol01/oradata/e450dev/parentdat01.dbf' SIZE 2000M REUSE, '/vol01/oradata/e450dev/parentdat02.dbf' SIZE 2000M REUSE, '/vol01/oradata/e450dev/parentdat03.dbf' SIZE 2000M REUSE, '/vol01/oradata/e450dev/parentdat04.dbf' SIZE 2000M REUSE EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M NOLOGGING ONLINE;
It was taking 8 hours to load this data 1) copied the data to the AIX box and ran SQLLDR local to the DB and received similar results 2) changed the tablespace to contain 1 8g datafile 3) ran SQLLDR from the W2K machine ..completed in 30minutes Also ran the same test on AIX 5.1 running oracle 9.2.0.3 and obtained the same results. I really would like to be able to create the tablespaces with multiple data files but it seems whenever I add a datafile the performance of the load degrades. Any ideas??
