Description

  1. Describe your new request in detail

The DPL API doesn't expose a way to load into a specific partition, even though that's possible in OCI.
The problem is the table level lock vs partition level lock, loading into individual partition should allow concurrent DPL load into multiple partitions at once (which is the killer feature imo)

  1. Give supporting information about tools and operating systems. Give relevant product version numbers

Research direction

Start by locating the DPL API and reviewing how it currently selects the target table. Compare that behavior with the OCI capability described in the issue. Done means the API can target a specific partition and allows concurrent DPL loads into different partitions.
