Thanks everyone for the replies. The rows are different for everyday, like this: for eg: Jan 01, 2007, 08:01:01am <--- Row 1 Jan 01, 2007, 08:01:02am <-- Row 2 Jan 01, 2007, 08:01:03am <-- Row 3 .. .. On 4/23/07, dbvision@xxxxxxxxxxxx <dbvision@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

That is the only column in the table. The table will be truncated everyday and loaded with the subsequent day's time. The developers told me that this table speeds up their queries, I also talked about using other ways but they said that they tested a few ways and found this one the best. They also want an index on that table. I am thinking of creating an index organized table for this purpose. Does anyone foresee any problem in this approach. None at all. But I'm having a lot of trouble trying to visualize why a table with a row for every second of a business day would need to be reloaded everyday? What, different days have different seconds/time durations? . . . -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
