tuning
One thing you could try would be to create the indexes after you insert the records. This will speed up the inserts. Depending on the number of records in the tables and the number of indexes on the tables, the index creation process will probably take longer.

oracle cold backup 8.1.7.4 restore to oracle8.1.7.4 Can it be done.
By “cold backup” I assume that you’ve shut down the database and used OS commands to copy the datafiles, logfiles, controlfiles, and parameter file(s).

Export/Import schemas
Q1, Export using statement OWNER=(user1), then import using statement FROMUSER=(user1) and statement TOUSER=(user2). Q2, No need to give authority, as the user1.table1 will become user2.table1.

Installing Seperate Internet Connection for Managers
Frankly, installing a separate Internet connection for managers only sounds like you’re trying to please management so that they don’t notice that you have a more serious problem.

Oracle Foreign Keys to Drop
Hi, Just a thought. There are R and P types of constraint. If you use – select a.table_name from user_constraints a where a.constraint_type =’R’ and a.table_name not in (select b.table_name from user_constraints b where b.constraint_type = ‘P’) you might get all lowest child tables.
