file names but the same thing would work) create the output table with
an
additional field, do your insert with blanks in the column for the
table

An interesting approach, but it will fall apart on the first file rename.

One thing you might do, though, (after adding that column) is have a BEFORE
READ trigger on such a table, and the BEFORE READ would fill in the column.
Then it wouldn't matter what data actually existed there. That would be
fairly easily accomplished.
