mapping tab.this will represents the loading of data into
target.this is slower when compared to bulk load.this can
load the data even if u have constraints built on u r

Answer / prasanna

Session log is always created in any mode you load. The
loading method is no way realted to creation of a session
log.

Normal mode: Will check for constraints while loading. Its
a process which happens record by record.

Bulk mode: This will not check for any constraints on DB.
So, generally when you don;t have any indexes or
constraints defined on your target table, you can use Bulk
mode which is faster.
In Informatica 8.6.1 , if you define bulk mode also.. if
your task need to perform Normal mode operation,
informatica will chabge it to Normal mode automatically run
time.
