Can anyone tell me if it is possible to treat an Oracle database like a giant array?
More to the point, do I have to always write a complete record (or row) of data into a
table or is there a way to place a piece of data into one single column within the row
and come back later and place a different piece of data in the same row but different
column?
Example:
I wrote the first piece of data like this:
Table
testtime testdate dut serialnum productline
12:00
Later on I wanted to add another data point in the same row but different column while
still maintaining the data previously entered:
Table
testtime testdate dut serialnum productline Can I do this? Is it allowed in
Oracle?
12:00 100100
Once the row is complete, I would move onto the next row.
Table
testtime testdate dut serialnum productline
12:00 010603 1 100100 widget
1:00 010603 2 100101 widget
