You mean the pasted data looks like this...


Code:
DAY_OF_WK_NAME_UPR VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
        DAY_OF_WK_NBR_SAT NUMBER,
                DAY_OF_WK_NBR_SUN NUMBER,
                        DAY_OF_WK_NBR_MON NUMBER,
  ...

Then you need to ":set noai" (from command mode - to get there, press Esc. Then : (colon) set noai (meaning no auto-indent). Then paste again.)

You can change this "auto-indent" behaviour permanently by editiing ~/.ex.rc (or some such). Use


Code:
:set

From the VI command mode to see what is set.
