Load different tables into one single mapping table (mapping concatenate load)

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:19:13 GMT

I have 4 different database tables that contain supplier numbers with each time a different notion.

Table 1 : contains test supplier numbers

Table 2 : contains intercompany suppliers

Table 3 : contains interbranch suppliers

Table 4 : contains all suppliers (including the ones from table 1/2/3)

I would like to create a mapping table (map_supplier) with 2 fields :

=> map_supplier_number

=> map_supplier_type

For table 1-3 I want to load the data where supplier number = the number in the table and supplier type = 'TEST'(for table 1) / 'INTERCOMPANY' (for table 2) / 'INTERBRANCH' (for table 3)

Finally, when I upload table 4, I want to use the function applymap('map_supplier', supplier_number, 'OTHER'). This way, all suppliers are either categorized as according to the mapping table and if not found in the mapping table, they have supplier_type = 'OTHER'.

The problem is that you cannot use the keyword CONCATENATE together with MAPPING.

Is there another solution ? All suppliers should have a supplier type, that's why I would like to use the mapping function.

You can load table 1-3 concatenated as a normal table (table1) and then load the mapping table from resident table1.
