I am migrating data from one database[database1] to another[database2]. I have a link[dblink] between the two and one of the tables[CLOB_TABLE] have CLOB datatype for one of their attributes[CLOB_BODY]. I need to cursor through this CLOB_TABLE and then insert the cursor variable values into database2's table[CLOB_TABLE2]. I get the ORA-22992 error (cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables) when I run the script. I tried the INSERT INTO CLOB_TABLE2 SELECT * FROM CLOB_TABLE@dblink; on database1 directly but I still get the ORA-22992 error. Does anyone have a method or code workaround of how to accomplish this? thanks! -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Glenn Travis INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
