I know I have raised this before, but the text importer is impossibly slow if importing a large number of records.

I have just loaded 77,000 rows of two fields, which took 187 secs. This is acceptable, but earlier I had to load 850,000 records, again with 2 fields. This looked as it was going to take 4 or 5 hoursm which is simply not acceptable.

As this was an 8.1.7 database, I had to load into an 11G database using SQL Developer - which took 40 seconds, then copy to the older DB. Annoying!

Is it possible to speed this up to at least near the speed of the Oracle product?

Thanks

We'll check it out.
