Michelle,

I don't want to turn this thread into a tech support line but...

There are several things to look at with SQL*Loader on the client. If you have already looked at these, just ignore me.

If you are using replace (throw out the old data and use what you're loading), truncate the table first. This eliminates tons of rollback segment activity when the old records are deleted.

Check the size of the array buffer being used. The default on clients is smaller than the default on servers. Bump up the array size. Also check the commit interval. For the number of records you're loading it needs to be a whole lot more than the default of 64.

If you are doing replaces, consider presorting the records and using a direct path load.

The first and third suggestions really shouldn't make that much of a difference if you are getting acceptable performance on the server. The array and commit parameters can make a big difference on the client side.

There are a whole lot of sites on the web with technical tips, etc. regarding Oracle. We have links to a dozen or so on the New York Oracle Users Group site at nyoug.org
