REPLACE

Are you sure? Can you please expand your answer. Where to give ? and How to give?

Yes, Thats correct...

Hope it works for you..

REPRO will not delete any contents!! It will just insert the data from input file to output file.

Say you have a record with key as "999" and want to repro another record with the same key of "999" then the REPRO will fail due to duplicate record (Default is NOREPLACE).

If you use REPRO with REPLACE then the old "999" record will be replaced with the new "999" record. Doesn't this mean deleting the old record and adding the new one?

Here is the link for the Optional parameters you can use with REPRO

Hello,

To help the performance of the new combined content file you might consider unloading the existing data, sorting both sets of data on the key (discarding duplicatges) and then reloading the reorganized data.

I thank Every one for my answer.

You're welcome - good luck
