- I am new to oracle. I am trying to load a data base with
- several LARGE flat files (> 200meg each). Each record is
- date and time stamped, but the date and time are disjoint.
-
- ... YYMMDD .... SSSSS ....
-
- The records are fixed length, and the fields are fixed.
- There is data in between the two fields, that I need.
-
- Any ideas on how to get these together into a single
- database column? If need be I can hack a perl script to
- do it, but I was hoping there was a way to do it inside
- SQL Load.
-
- Thanks.
