I'm having a bit of a problem. I know that I need to read the file which this is in. I'm able to read the file, but I just cannot see how to make this switch in the expression. I have this create table SQL statment. I'm adding a primary key to it. I need to add the phrase
CONSTRAINT PK_<table_name>
before the statment PRIMARY KEY. Does anyone know a quick way I could do thin inside a while loop?


Here is the SQL statment before the change.

CREATE TABLE "SO"."EL_HAND_RECEIPT"
(
    EL_ID             NUMBER(20) NOT NULL,
    UIC               VARCHAR2(6) NULL,
    ISSUE_RECEIPT_CD          VARCHAR2(1) NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (EL_ID)
)
TABLESPACE DATA

Now here is what I need it to look like.

CREATE TABLE "SO"."EL_HAND_RECEIPT"
(
    EL_ID             NUMBER(20) NOT NULL,
    UIC               VARCHAR2(6) NULL,
    ISSUE_RECEIPT_CD          VARCHAR2(1) NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT PK_EL_HAND_RECEIPT PRIMARY KEY (EL_ID)
)
TABLESPACE DATA
/

I have some what of a clue on how to do this but I'm not sure. could someone give a hand on this. It would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
