DNFS_ENABLE

Default: TRUE

Purpose

The DNFS_ENABLE parameter lets you enable and disable use of the Direct NFS Client on input data files during a SQL*Loader operation.

Syntax and Description

DNFS_ENABLE=[TRUE|FALSE]

The Direct NFS Client is an API that can be implemented by file servers to allow improved performance when an Oracle database accesses files on those servers.

SQL*Loader uses the Direct NFS Client interfaces by default when it reads data files over 1 GB. For smaller files, the operating system's I/O interfaces are used. To use the Direct NFS Client on all input data files, use DNFS_ENABLE=TRUE.

To disable use of the Direct NFS Client for all data files, specify DNFS_ENABLE=FALSE.

The DNFS_READBUFFERS parameter can be used to specify the number of read buffers used by the Direct NFS Client; the default is 4.
