Commit & Nohup

Question

Hi All,
I have an pl/sqlplus query that inserts records in my test tables, this query takes long time since it has 3M records, how can i commit after every 10,K records.
Is there a way if i can run it in background (nohup) from unix.
Here is the following query.
DECLARE
TEST number := 912000000;
ttno number := 1;
BEGIN
LOOP
Insert into test_let
(INTERFACE_ID,TRANSACTION_ID, BUS_CMD_ID, COMMAND_ORDER, COMMAND_ORDER_ARGUMENT,
COMMAND_MARKET, COMMAND_PRIORITY, COMMAND_STATUS, ENTRY_DATETIME, LAST_CHANGE_DATETIME, AREA,
MSISDN, BUSINESS_COMMAND, TRANSACTION_STATUS, RETURN_CODE,RESPONSE_MESSAGE,PARAM_NO,PARAM_A4KI)
Values
(ttno,TEST||':'||'I001'||':'||ttno, ttno, 'AUTHENTICATE', 'AUC2_SLI', 'SET', '10', '10',
SYSDATE, sysdate, '0', TEST,'AUTHENTICATE AUC2_SLI FOR ' || TEST || ' USING
(SLINO=634011100938964;EKI=9DFD024BC1607A33960E99845EB18F05)' ,40,
10,'Success','634011100938964','9DFD024BC1607A33960E99845EB18F05');
Insert into test_let2
(COMMAND_ID,INTERFACE_ID,INTERNAL_CODE,NE_ID,PROTOCOL_ID,RESPONSE_ID,CMD_QUEUE,CMD_STATUS,ENTRY_
DATETIME,LAST_CHANGE_DATETIME,TRANSACTION_ID,BUS_CMD_ID,COMMAND_TEXT)
Values
(ttno,
ttno,'0',1,1,14,0,30,SYSDATE,SYSDATE,TEST||':'||'I001'||':'||ttno,ttno,'agsui:isi=63401110093896
4,eki=9DFD024BC1607A33960E99845EB18F05,kind=5;');
ttno := ttno+1;
TEST := TEST+1;
EXIT WHEN TEST>913000000;
END LOOP;
END;
Please advice
Thanks & Regrds,

Assuming you are on 9i or later, why not one INSERT ALL ... SELECT statement?
(untested:)
INSERT ALL
