Hello all,
There is a table with 4 columns in that 3 columns has been
already loaded with 5 million records.4th column is
empty,Now I have got 5 million records data which has to be
loaded into 4th column.How can I load this data fastly in to
the 4th column with out using update

Answer Posted / yuvaevergreen

Assumptions made:
1.The last column has to be loaded from the file.
2.The file has also got the other three columns with it.
3.Access has been given to create tables.

>>Since, update cannot be used, mload update script may not
be preferable.
>>TPUMP and BTEQ would be slow.
>>So, my option would be
* create new_table as table with no data;
* Use the fastload to load the empty table with the 5
million rows from the file.
* rename table table to old_table;
* rename new_table to table;

Is This Answer Correct ?    13 Yes 4 No
