ORACLE external tables

[lll]

Hi,

Just wanted to check if PL/SQL Developer does support ORACLE EXTERNAL TABLES.

There is no such object in object browser and when I did create one it appears like a regular table in create table SQL.

Please advise on EXTERNAL TABLE usage.

There is a OCI: version 9.2

Thanks a lot.

There is indeed no explicit support for external tables. This is on the list of enhancement requests though.

Hi Marco,

I've seen requests for external table support that are at least two years old. They are crucial to our DB use, so it's be great if we could have an ETA on this feature.

Thanks
