Syntax options: TRACE | NO TRACE Specifies whether usage statistics are logged by the IMPORT statement. The NO TRACE option is the default. Some actions taken by the IMPORT statement can consume significant amounts of I/O resources and CPU time. These actions include the following operations: o Loading data o Defining indexes o Defining constraints When you specify the TRACE option with the IMPORT statement, SQL writes a message when each operation begins, and writes a summary of DIO (direct input/output operations), CPU, and PAGE FAULT statistics when the operation completes. When the IMPORT statement finishes execution, a summary of all DIO, CPU, and PAGE FAULT statistics is displayed. The display also includes information on access to the .rbr file, database creation, and loading of data. For more information about these statistics, see the Oracle Rdb7 Guide to Database Performance and Tuning.
