A customer wants me to copy 100 billion records into an empty Oracle database. Almost all records have about 6 fields, only one of them is a varchar-field, and 99.99% of these varchar fields contain null values. He wants this to be done every day. What kind of Oracle server is needed for that, and are there any special things that I need to remember?
100 billion records per day equates to ~1,157,407 rows per second being imported. Yes – that is a significant problem and this will not be the place to get a real answer – if you have those kind of data quantities and a very large budget for the hardware then talk directly to Oracle to get them engaged on the project.
