Hi All,

(

eno number(8),

ename varchar2(20)

)

organization external

( type oracle_loader

default directory <dr_name>

access parameters

fields (

             eno position(1:8)  char(8),

             ename position(9:29) char2(20)
)

)

location (...);

{code}

Now I would like to add another called Salary with data type as number(8) ... can you please let me know the syntax to add SAL column with fixed length to the above external table..

SAL NUMBER8)
