What is DECODE function?

September 1st, 2009

The DECODE function decodes a column value or an expression and compares it with each specified search value, one by one. If the expression matches a search value, a result value corresponding to the matching search value is returned. If no match is found, a default result value, if included, is returned. However, if no default value is included, a NULL value is returned. The DECODE function is one of the few single-row functions that directly deal with NULL values. It can compare two NULL values and can return a NULL value.

What are conventional path loads?

July 27th, 2009

A conventional path load is a method of loading data into tables. This method uses the SQL INSERT statement and a bind array buffer for loading the data. It is the default method employed by every Oracle tool and application. In conventional path loads, the SQL*Loader has to compete with all other Oracle processes for buffer resources. However, this significantly deteriorates the speed of the load process as compared to direct path loads. Conventional path loads search for partially filled data blocks to fill them at each insert operation. This process also deteriorates the speed of conventional path loads. Conventional path loads are generally employed for loading data into clustered tables or where a small number of rows are to be inserted into a large indexed table.
