RE: How to take sql*loader trace

That is why my advice was 10046 trace name context forever, level 8, not SQL_TRACE. With 10046, level 8 you can still get waits (tkprof in 9i understands them). You cannot Get explain plan because direct path doesn't use SQL to insert into the database. -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA
