alter table add column
Hi,
I have a partitioned table. Is it possible to alter this table by adding a new column and also update the table by inserting data into the new column? I know how to add a new column but no idea how to insert data into the new column. Any suggestions please
BR,
Mona

If you want to add data to an already existing rows you'll have to insert
the data again by using insert overwrite, perhaps it's better to insert
into a new table.
