what is External tables? explain with examples
Answer Posted / jayaprakash gutti
External table is a complement to SQl* Loader.
External table is more faster compared to SQL loader when
there is thousands of records in source data file.
When we create External table, a link is established between
external table and source data file (which is located in the
file system/Oracle Server).
whenever we query external table like:
select * from external_table;
it fetches data from the file and displayed.
also, external tables are read-only.
you can't perform DML operations.
we can insert the data in the external table to any of the
data base table we want.
