Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: historical data
Hi David,
If there is a remote possibility of loading this data back into Oracle XX
database (or any other, for that matter), then what you are doing makes
perfect sense. I used to unload data into flat files when I worked on the
mainframe systems a few years ago. And a few times we did have to load it
back into newer versions of the database. You are on the right track.
Regards,
