Oracle创建外部表
Oracle db允许以只读的形式查询外部表。外部表可以存储在任何oracle db可以读取的存储设备中，其内容不在db中保存，db只保存external table的metadata，db可以查询（join、sort）external table，可以创建view、synonym，但不可以执行DML语句。
创建外部表语法create table ……orginzition external，可以把外部表假想为一个view，可以正常的做select。
analyze 和 虚拟列 表分析不使用与外部表

创建外部表oracle可识别路径：
SQL> conn / as sysdba SQL> create directory external_dir as '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/external'; Directory created. SQL> grant read，write on directory external_dir to kevin; Grant succeeded.
外部表的使用用户kevin，创建外部表
SQL> CREATE TABLE ex_employees

Table created.创建完成后可以可以通过cats把数据导入至数据库的表中，如果数据比较多，可以开启session level parallel导入
alter session enable parallel；
create table employee as select * from ex_employee;
