Bulk Loading

Bulk Loading

You can enable bulk loading when you load to DB2, Sybase, Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server.
If you enable bulk loading for other database types, the Integration Service reverts to a normal load. Bulk loading improves the performance of a session that inserts a large amount of data to the target database. Configure bulk loading on the Mapping tab.
When bulk loading, the Integration Service invokes the database bulk utility and bypasses the database log, which speeds performance. Without writing to the database log, however, the target database cannot perform rollback. As a result, you may not be able to perform recovery. Therefore, you must weigh the importance of improved session performance against the ability to recover an incomplete session.
When loading to DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle targets, you must specify a normal load for data driven sessions. When you specify bulk mode and data driven, the Integration Service reverts to normal load.
