To store data in a table containing a user-defined abstract data type, use the INSERT statement of the data manipulation SQL. You cannot use the database load utility (pdload) to load this data. To insert data, use the INSERT statement to insert a value that is generated by a defined function. The following figure shows the procedure for inserting data into a table that contains an abstract data type column.
