The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Disable archive/redo logging in procedure and/or on specific tables

Asked by msadegursky in Oracle 3rd Party Tools

Tags: redo, disable, index, log, tables

Hi!

I really hope someone can help. I'm running oracle 8.1.5 on Sun Solaris.
Here is the problem:
I have an integration that takes a text file and loads it into a staging table. I loaded 77 files with roughly 22,000 rows in each file. After loading all the files, the staging table sits at 1.6 million rows. After it loaded, this ate up 1.27 GIGs of archive redo load space on my machine. I understand that SQL Loader can help this because I can run it without archiving, however, that is not the bigger problem.
After the data has been loaded into the staging table, a procedure is run to move the data into the live tables. The data moves from 1 table into 3 different tables. Unforunately, I cannot use SQL loader to move the data into the other tables because I have sequence numbers that are the primary and foreign keys, also, I have exception handling for duplicate value on index on every insert statement. When this procedure ran, it ate up 10 GIG of redo logs and it was only about half way through.
The big question is, is there a way to disable the redo logs in the procedure so that I don't create any when the procedure runs? I don't need them for this procedure because if there was a database failure, I can simply reload from the text files. However, obviously I need to have the redo logs working otherwise.
There are a couple of options if possible.
1) whenever the procedure is run, this procedure does not create redo logs
2) do not create redo logs when inserting or updating the specific tables in the procedure. I can live without the redo logs on the 3 tables that the procedure is inserting and updating to.

Can anyone help please.
