How does one do incremnental loading

CHECK OUT THE OPTION, truncate target table option in
sesson==> target properties.
this makes the incremental load.

Scenario - You are trying to load reasonable amount of
rows into the target table, and its taking a helluva lot of
time.What could be the reasons?
use bulk loading in session properties.
use less record as master table in joiner
use filter in first of the mappings
dont use unwanted columns in source qualifier.. better use
SQL overriding.
use dynamic lookup only if in use.
tune your query what ever reads from db.
use partitioning of table if records are huge in number.


3.Tell me any complex situation you have faced( as an
Informatica Developer) and how did you resolve it.
4.tell me any complex mapping that you have done.
AM not enough experienced to answer this two questions.
