During direct-path INSERT, the database obtains exclusive locks on the table (or
on all partitions of a partitioned table). As a result, users cannot perform any
concurrent insert, update, or delete operations on the table, and concurrent
index creation and build operations are not permitted. Concurrent queries,
however, are supported, but the query will return only the information before
the insert operation.
The
behaviour of /*+ APPEND */ hint has changed in the different versions of
Oracle:
- In Oracle 10g and previous releases the APPEND hint is ignored when
specifying INSERT..VALUES. Thus even though stated, the insert will be done in
conventional mode and not use direct-path insert into the buffer cache. When
using INSERT..SELECT the hint will be honoured.
- On 11g Release 1, the APPEND hint will be honoured for an INSERT with VALUES
and the row will be inserted directly into datafiles, bypassing the buffer
cache.
- In 11g release 2, a new hint has been added, /*+ APPEND_VALUES */ that will
load the data directly into the datafiles.
To
summarize, there are now 2 different hints for direct-path load:
- APPEND: Instructs Oracle to use direct-path INSERT with the subquery syntax
of the INSERT statement.
- APPEND_VALUES: Instructs Oracle to use direct-path INSERT with the VALUES
clause.
