Parallel Data Loading
Oracle’s SQL*Loader utility loads data into Oracle tables from external files. With some restrictions, SQL*Loader supports the loading of data in parallel. If you have a large amount of data to load, SQL*Loader’s parallel support can dramatically reduce the elapsed time needed to perform that load.
Initiating Parallel Data Loading
SQL*Loader supports parallel loading by allowing you to initiate multiple concurrent direct path load sessions that all load data into the same table or into the same partition of a partitioned table. Unlike the case when you execute a SQL statement in parallel, the task of dividing up the work falls on your shoulders. Follow these steps to use parallel data loading:
Create multiple input datafiles.
Create a SQL*Loader control file for each input datafile.
Initiate multiple SQL*Loader sessions, one for each control file and datafile pair.
When you initiate the SQL*Loader sessions, you must tell SQL*Loader that you are performing a parallel load. You do that by adding the PARALLEL=TRUE parameter to the SQL*Loader command line. For example, the following commands could be used to initiate a load performed in parallel by four different sessions:
SQLLOAD scott/tiger CONTROL=part1.ctl DIRECT=TRUE PARALLEL=TRUE SQLLOAD scott/tiger CONTROL=part2.ctl DIRECT=TRUE PARALLEL=TRUE SQLLOAD scott/tiger CONTROL=part3.ctl DIRECT=TRUE PARALLEL=TRUE SQLLOAD scott/tiger CONTROL=part4.ctl DIRECT=TRUE PARALLEL=TRUE
Note that the commands here should be executed ...
