What are some methods for optimizing Oracle databases for large data inserts?

 For large data inserts I can suggest you few things like: Use trigger(PL/SQL) Use APPEND hint Remove indexes on tables Firstly, while you use triggers in the table it could leave data to be logically corrupt. And it will then perform insert in a very conventional way. Which is a time consuming process and won’t helps us! Secondly, using APPEND hint will help us to an extend. So, APPEND hint tells the optimizer to perform a direct-insert into the table, which improves the performance. Now there is a way which we could achieve this by minimizing the Redo generation. What Redo do is; it basically ensures the recoverability of data to the database. It writes down every transaction to the archive log. Let’s take a scenario, where if the database is running on the NOARCHIVELOG mode, using APPEND hint will reduce the redo generation i.e; it won’t write into the archive log anymore and thus increases the speed. But then it won’t be able to recover at any point in time if your data is ambiguou
