All,

I just need a sanity check . . . .

Is there any reason why I can't import data into a table using datapump while the database is in use ?  The import is historical data moved from another system which will be accessed infrequently.  The table itself receives inserts, but no updates or deletes (except for a daily purge job).

Ideally I'd prefer to do it with all the users out of the sytem, but this isn't possible at the moment.  The only thing I could think of would be a possible performance hit, but we aren't unduly stressing the system at the moment.

thanks in advance,

graham
