Here's an odd question. There is an external (legacy) process that we're not big on changing. It inserts data into many tables for our process, but most of these tables are not used anymore. The volume of data is fairly large, so we would like to not populate the unnecessary data. Is there a way to define a DUMMY table that externally would look like a 'real' table to a process and accept the insert statements, but wouldn't represent a real table and wouldn't persist the data? Then we would accomplish the task of not storing the unneeded data without changing the external process.

Thanks!
