uploading records

Hi,

I know I can use sqlldr but...

When you want to upload records to a database you can copy and paste data directly in a table using Edit Data. I use this method as a fast way to get data from Excel to Oracle.

The amount of resources used by this functionality is extreme! Uploading a dataset of 40.000 records with 10 fields caused my PC to totally freak out :) For over two hours the upload hogged my PC before I gave up and rebooted. Then I tried sqlldr and it did the job in less than a minute.

Am I doing something wrong here? Is the functionality to copy and paste records in PL/SQL developer intended for larger amounts of records?
 
When did the PC "freak out"? During the paste operation, or when posting the records to the database? Did you use a local database or a server?
