Hi,

I just want to know the reason why load utilities ( FastLoad / MultiLoad) do not allow the use of Secondary Indexes to enforce uniqueness (true at least until R2V5).

If my table has a NUPI but a USI, enclosed list is what will happen when USI is not honored by load utilities. Thus I want to know the reason behind the restriction -- no need for a thesis, but simple explanation would be enough for me.

Thanks

FM
