Load a resident table of TEMP which will contain only total sum column and then fetch the value from that table in a variable using peek() function.

In the context of data load scripts, variables play a crucial role in customizing and optimizing the data loading process. Data load scripts are commonly used in database management, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, and other data-related tasks. Here's how variables are typically used in data load scripts:

  1. Parameterization:

    • Variables are often used to parameterize data load scripts. Instead of hardcoding values like database connection strings, file paths, or dates directly into the script, you can use variables to make the script more flexible and reusable. This allows you to easily change these values without modifying the entire script.
