I believe the "into emp " on line 10 is the problem. Like on line 7 where
you just type update without the table name I think the insert is the same.
The merge into provides the target.

Bob,
I can 't answer your questions directly, but I think, Tim Gorman 's book -
Essential Oracle8i Data Warehousing can.

Re your signature:
I just struggled today with an error message, It took me quite a while to
realize why Oracle was telling me that the values keyword was missing. (An
over-simplified version of the statement follows) Are Oracle error messages
not keeping up with the code?

SQL > Begin
2 Merge into emp e
3 Using (select *
4 from emp_temp) t
5 on (e.empno = t.empno)
6 when matched then
7 Update set
8 e.hiredate = t.hiredate
9 when not matched then
10 Insert into emp (empno, hiredate)
11 values (t.empno, t.hiredate);
12 End;
13 /
values (t.empno, t.hiredate);
*
ERROR at line 11:
ORA-06550 (See ORA-06550.ora-code.com): line 10, column 14:
PL/SQL: ORA-00926 (See ORA-00926.ora-code.com): missing VALUES keyword

Good Morning All, I was hoping someone here can point me to pertinent
documents which address (DW). I know there are tons of online docs via
google or metalink but was wondering if people her had their own
favorites. Im particullary interested in nutshell concepts of:

1 reasonable maximum datafile sizes & physical disk striping
2 getting data from prod to dw
3 various partitioning
4 stratigies for backup + recovery

Thanks
Bob
