Re: External Tables question
You can't load line number into the table except in the case where line number is actually contained in the table as a column. External tables are great for loading things into the proper realtional tables but cannot be used for much otherwise. You cannot index an external table. The best thing to do is something like insert /*+ append */ into real_table select /*+ parallel(ext,4) */ select * from external_table ext; On 11/05/2003 11:24:32 AM, "Jamadagni, Rajendra" wrote: > I am trying to use external tables, but can't seem to find one thing that I'd like > (I have already RTFM'd but may have missed some part). > > Is there a way I could load the line number of the text file as a column in the > table? line number isn't hard coded but can record number be used (somehow)? > > Any ideas?
