    Hi All,

    I am importing a schema into my DB. No data included. However my import is taking very long. Each table has an average of 50 columns. I have around 2000 tables. The dump file is a mere 50 MB. Yet the import is taking 6 hours to run. I used this command

    imp retail/somo@somo.world file=/usr2/flexcube/somo/data/29MarSchemaRetail.dmp full=Y buffer=8192 commit=Y ignore=Y log=/usr2/flexcube/somo/data/23Apr2001.log

    Is there any way I can speed up the import. At this rate it will take two days to import the data!

    Hi, 23rd April 2001 13:25 hrs chennai

    Increase the buffer size to the maximum .

    Look for lock contention.

    Cheers

    I have tried large buffer size but the speed does not improve. I have 1 GB Ram.

    I agree. Try direct import.

    Would someone care to explain how to do "direct import"?

    This suggestion keeps poping up in this forum, yet there is no such thing as "direct import"!
