In Oracle and with SQL the DML operations are select, insert, update, and delete. What do you mean by "append". Unless you are using only direct path insert tasks the rows will be inserted where ever in the table that free space exists. If you never delete then logically all inserts will be to the end of the table. On the other hand if you use an IOT the inserts are in PK order so unless the key is sequential the rows will be inserted into the proper key location.

Also what version of Oracle?

So exactly what are you asking?
