SQL Loader for bulk load

user545194Jul 20 2023

Env. 19c SE2

Background: We have a nightly load job that truncates, selects and inserts millions of records from a source database into a target database connected via db link. Both databases are Oracle. This process needs about 6-7 hours to complete.

A question arose if it is possible (or even a good idea) to use the SQL Loader for this purpose? From what I read the SQL Loader is mainly used for loading flat files into a table.

Anyway, feedback appreciated.

Thanks!
