Question

I have a script that i use to load my data into my tables in Oracle (by a list of insert statements). How can i get the execution time of the entire loading process? I have tried with set timing on, but that gives me a duration for each insert statement and not the entire process. The script is shown below:

spo load.log
prompt '**** load data ****'
set termout off
@@inserts.sql
commit;
set termout on
prompt '**** done ****'
spo off
exit;

Try this, add the following at the beginning and it remembers the current time:

set serveroutput on
variable n number
exec :n := dbms_utility.get_time

Add this at the end and it calculates the time elapsed:

exec :n := (dbms_utility.get_time - :n)/100
exec dbms_output.put_line(:n)
