I do not understand your question. I just started learning Oracle. The 8i reference manual comes with sample databases: Worker table, Customer table, Holiday tale,.... on and on. The tables are used in the manual to illustrate the subject matter. These same tables can also be found in the CD that accompanies the book.
I am aware that there is command , "@F:/.(filename)/......." that is used to copy files into SQL. What is that command? Received on Fri Jun 01 2001 - 10:45:51 CDT
