Hi,

I am using oracle 8.1.7 on windows 2000 and I found
that when I using sqlldr to load a 4M datafile to oracle
the memory usage shown in the task manager increase, is this normal?

After I loaded 70 such datafile, I found that the memory usage
increase from 310M -> 470M. Why?

I am using "APPEND" inside the sqlldr control file.

I've tried to use "REPLACE" instead of "APPEND" in the control
file. Then I found the memory usage increase rate had drop down
a little bit but still increasing. Is there a way to stop it?

Thanks for any reply,

Wayne
