If I can latch onto Scott's question, does anyone know if a 'batch insert'
is possible in Oracle (using the LV Database Connectivity Toolkit)? I want
to insert up to 200 records (or as many as I can!) with a single
"execution".
I've been able to achieve one with MSDE, but not Oracle.

Thanks for any help.

Subject: FW: Oracle database question


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
