We are adding a new column for a real large table (60+ million rows) and will update the column value from another table based on a matching condition. With normal update and merge statement, its taking around 70 and 58 hours respectively. We are exploring an option using online redefinition method. Is it possible to using the SQL on the column mapping string. Any suggestions or insights will be much helpful for us. Thanks for you help.
ThanksPrabhu
