External tables - using same table for simultaneous loads with different location

edited Nov 20, 2009 4:10AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
 This question relates to Oracle 9i db and the use of external tables.  I would like to perform simulaneous loads(SELECT statements) using the same external table with different flat file names.  I found out that I can use the ALTER TABLE command to change the flat file name that the external table will look at, but how does this play out if I'm running simultaneous loads with two different flat file names?  While one load was happening I can't imagine that the database will allow me to alter the table.  Anybody had any experience with this?  Believe this is new

Howdy, Stranger!
