Hi,

I have a table and inserted from 1 to 50 records...
And now i deleted 20 - 30 means 10 records...

Now i want to insert the 10 records into the deleted portion i.e; between 20-30 portion

How would that be possible...

Please let me know if i'm not clear....


Thanks....

Data within heap tables are always unordered. So, you can just re-insert the data. Order is determined when you extract the data by adding an ORDER BY or GROUP BY clause to your query.

What are the "20" and "30" you are talking about? Are they the "rownum" of the rows, or values of a sequence you created yourself?

That would be 11 records.

In any event, my guess is that you are going to dispute or worse, ignore what Frank has said.

I am not sure, whether you are aware about the way Oracle stores its data. It is described in the Concepts book, which is part of the documentation, available e.g. online on http://tahiti.oracle.com/.
It is described Chapter 2 "Data Blocks, Extents, and Segments" in Part II "Oracle Database Architecture". Maybe you could precise your question after you read it (and realize that internal data storage is Oracle job not influenceable so precisely as you think).
