Hi there,
I have a source file that has many columns (25) and want to find the most efficient way to load it into a table with just two columns.
I.e I always want be first column to appear so I would want columns 1+2, then 1+3, then 1+4, then 1+5..... Up to 1+25
I was thinking of an insert command that pulls data from a staging table - however bit every row uses the full 25 columns- some are only 3 or 4 and I don't want rows in the final table that just have data in first column 1.
Any help would be appreciated!!
