Today I need to import a csv file with nearly 5M row, at first I tried to import with Toad and Sql Developer tool, the tools show tps 123 and the time to import all my files is 10h. I tried using the SQLLoader utility feature, the results were unexpected.
- Create control file bl_20191118.ctl LOAD DATA infile ‘/home/oracle/bl18112019.csv’ REPLACE INTO TABLE bl_20191118 fields terminated by ‘,’ optionally enclosed by ‘”(msisdn)
- run SQL * Loader from the command line sqlldr xxx / xxx control = / home / oracle / bl_20191118.ctl log = / home / oracle / bl_20191118.log
Result: it took me less than 1 minute to load 4938456 row to table bl_20191118 [ [email protected] ~] $ cat bl_20191118.log
