The Problem I’m loading data from a schema to another schema on the same Oracle database but it’s slower than when I write a SQL insert statement manually. The bottle neck of the execution is in the steps from the LKM SQL to SQL. What should I do? Why does it happen? Loading Knowledge Modules (LKMs) are used to load the data from one Data Server to another. It usually connects to the source and the target Data Server to execute some steps on each of them. This is required when working with different technologies or different database instances for instance. So if we define two Data Servers to connect to our two database schemas, we will need a LKM. In this example, I will load a star schema model in HR_DW schema, using the HR schema from the same database as a source. Let’s start with the approach using two Data Servers. Note that here we use directly the database schema to connect to our Data Servers. And here are the definitions of the physical schemas : Let’s bui
