Hi,

We have a process ( a stored proc)  that exports data ( about 10
million records) from a huge table,t1 and loads it into another huge
table t2. The export runs for 3 hours everyday because of a very
complex sql...

My question is can we load from the table directly instead of exporting
the data and loading it from the falt file??

like using load from cursor??

does it have any disadvantages?? when we declare a cursor where is the
result stored?? can it overflow to the disk?? people here had lots of
performance issues using cursors in a Stored proceedure...

Thanks,
Raj
