HI Gurus,

I have two partitions on table named Partition A and Partition B .

I am inserting the data into the partitioned table and truncating Partition B at the same time.

Thus ,the truncating is taking very long time . Please advise if we can do any thing to optimise the Truncate performace.

Scenario :

Session 1 :
Insert into partitioned_table ()

Session 2 :
Alter table partitioned_table truncate partition PARTITION B

Thanks in advance.

issue COMMIT after the INSERT might improve the situation.

I would guess this is a locking issue. The insert locks the table against DDL operation and I believe TRUNCATE is classified as DDL because it does an implicit commit; thus you cannot truncate until the insert is commited.
