I have been inserting thousands of new records into the oracle database from an external file.The performance of oracle has become really slow and every new insert is taking hell lot of a time .Please tell me what can be done to improve this

Read the the methods explainted SQL*Loader Performance Improvments

Also you can split your external data file in multiple pieces and then run SQL*Loader in parallel:

For example, to invoke three SQL*Loader direct path load sessions on the same table, you would execute the following commands at the operating system prompt:

SQLLOAD USERID=SCOTT/TIGER CONTROL=LOAD1.CTL DIRECT=TRUE PARALLEL=TRUE
SQLLOAD USERID=SCOTT/TIGER CONTROL=LOAD2.CTL DIRECT=TRUE PARALLEL=TRUE
SQLLOAD USERID=SCOTT/TIGER CONTROL=LOAD3.CTL DIRECT=TRUE PARALLEL=TRUE

Hope that helps,

I may be stating the obvious, but you may also want to consider removing any indexes you have on the target table.
