Hi,

I've a Procedure to make a data transfer between two tables. with-in this procedure I'm using cursor loop, in this process I did commit for every record successfully transfer. In this regard the performence is very very slow. can any one suggest me instead of commit I can use savepoint? or I make intervel to commit the records.

TIA

Bharath

DO Not commit for every reecord.
ONE commit after all the records are processed Or at the end of loop will HELP.

or to commit in intervals use a mod function, please refer here

As told , COMMIT inside a loop is always harmful

U can commit after every 100-500 records, based on record size. If u do not commit at intervals ur RBS will be affected, causing serious performance issues, also committing after each record in a loop is not recommended .

"your RBS will be affected, causing serious performance issues"
This is only true if there are more processes accessing the same data. If there is only 1 process, how does extending Rollbackspace affect performance ??

Please clarify if you mean that if rollback segment is getting filled up , and it is not cleared by committing , it won't slow the process , and also if it is saturated, how will further processing take place ? thanx in advance Frank

It is a true fact that frequent commit frees the Rollback segments ( undo segment).
But when rollback segments are freed 'pre-maturely' that leads to an ora-1555.
for every commit, more redo information is generated in redo buffer and 'force' cleared and is put in a queue to
be written to an OS file.
Committing based on count of records is Totally flawed ( to some extent in very certain cases,
committing based on TIME is much favoured).

Frequent commit will NOT reduce ANY RESOURCE CONSUMED.

>>>If u do not commit at intervals ur RBS will be affected, causing serious performance issues

The solution here is to size the RBS correctly, not committing frequently.

Please have a look here and see what Thiru says regarding
the process that happens FOR EVERY COMMIT

If your RBS is full, you might hit an ORA-01555. This has nothing to do with performance.
