Answer / harsha

Read file sequentially and load it in table. keep check on
the number of ocurances(i.e. number of records).

Once the table is fully loaded, you know the total
occurances. Say it is X. Now read the table with occurance
X-3

Can we MOVE X(9) to 9(9) OR 9(9) to X(9)? If yes what are the ways for doing this?
