I beleive INSERT INTO with NoLogging would be faster as for BULK INSERT you have to make a BULK COLLECT too.

I would agree. They are different things. The bulk collect is a PL/SQL array processing thing whereas the direct path insert affects the amount of redo written (recoverability issue).

insert APPEND is extremely fast.
Besides, try to alter table to NOLOGGING
and disable any indexes or primary key, you can then recreate it.

BULK INSERT?, is it a new feature?, i do hear about BULK COLLECT, and it is some kind of array implementation from within PL/SQL.

Best luck
