problem with parting using vi in a file
I am trying to paste around 100 lines into a file using VI and pasting but seems the data is going from left to right in this fashion. Is there any setting that I need to set in vi or terminal? Please let me know.

Quote:
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,
HOLIDAY_FLAG VARCHAR2(1 CHAR),
HOLIDAY_FLAG_US VARCHAR2(1 CHAR)

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.
