There are so many ways to do this. Below is a PL/SQL way:
#
# not tested
#
my $sth = $dbi->prepare(qq{
BEGIN
FOR d IN (SELECT * FROM district1)
LOOP
BEGIN
INSERT INTO district2 (column_list)
VALUES (d);
EXCEPTION
WHEN dup_val_on_index THEN
NULL;
END;
END LOOP;
END;
}) || die $DBI::errstr;
You could also change the above to use bulk processing (array inserts) in
PL/SQL. I leave this investigation to you and your DBA.

Subject: Re: finding and inserting
Let me see if I can explain it better today. :-)
I have about 200 users in "district 1". I need to add each of those users
into "district 2" using the same information that they have in "district 1".
I also need to make sure they are only inserted 1 time. They have a unique
employeeID, so I know I can use that to make sure that they are inserted 1
time.

What do you mean by 'insert that user into a new district'? Do you mean
create an oracle account?

I am not sure how to go about this.
I have an Oracle database with users in a district. Every time I have to add
a new district I have to reset the password. I thought, now why don't I use
Perl to just copy the users current info and insert that into the new
district with the name of the district changing.
What I need to do is loop through the database and find a user, insert that
user into the new district, find next user, make sure that user is not
already in the new district to prevent duplicates, insert user into new
district changing the district information. There will be exceptions but I
think I can handle those if I can get started on the first part.
My Perl and DBI skills are not quite up to this...so help would be
appreciated.
