Syntax

DBMS_REPCAT.ADD_GROUPED_COLUMN ( 
   sname                 IN   VARCHAR2,
   oname                 IN   VARCHAR2,

   list_of_column_names  IN   VARCHAR2 | DBMS_REPCAT.VARCHAR2s);

Parameters

Table 18-2 ADD_GROUPED_COLUMN Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
sname	Schema in which the replicated table is located.
oname	Name of the replicated table with which the column group is associated. The table can be the storage table of a nested table.
column_group	Name of the column group to which you are adding members.
list_of_column_names	Names of the columns that you are adding to the designated column group. This can either be a comma-delimited list or a PL/SQL index-by table of column names. The PL/SQL index-by table must be of type `DBMS_REPCAT.VARCHAR2`. Use the single value `'`*`'` to create a column group that contains all of the columns in your table. You can specify column objects, but you cannot specify attributes of column objects. If the table is an object, then you can specify `SYS_NC_OID$` to add the object identifier column to the column group. This column tracks the object identifier of each row object. If the table is a storage table of a nested table, then you can specify `NESTED_TABLE_ID` to add the column that tracks the identifier for each row of the nested table.
