Data File Storage

Oracle LSH provides two ways to store data in files:

• Original Source System Data Files. Oracle LSH places data loaded from files (SAS and text) into the Oracle LSH Table instances specified in the Load Set so that the data can be operated on within Oracle LSH. However, you can choose to also store the original data file in the Oracle LSH database, with classifications and security requirements. This option is available only for Load Sets that load data contained in files.
• Oracle LSH Data Marts. You can create a Data Mart containing data from any Oracle LSH Table instances in one of several formats: SAS Transport, Oracle Export, or text. You can transfer a Data Mart to an external system or leave it in Oracle LSH for long-term storage.
