    Datapump import COMMIT feature

    all,
    In the tradition import you have the COMMIT feature that you can use to cut down on redo.
    But I don't find that in datapump import. Is this implicit or what?
    thanks

    No commit parameter is available for impdp.

    Here is a nice comparison between imp and impdp http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_differen..._data_pump.htm

    Sure,I find that COMMIT is not available...but what can be the reason for this? I still think managing your redo is important?

    Well, if you were inserting via PL/SQL using a loop, how often would you commit? If you say more than once, you could probably stand a refresher on how to avoid snapshot too old errors.

    Since I'm not "Angelo" I don't know.
    My guess is ...
    a- in 10g and upper versions we are supposed to use auto undo so no need for a "commit" workaround.
    b- imp/impdp are meant to be batch processes so a single transaction appears to be the right way to go
