Hi DBA Gurus, Is it possible to use the copy command in a stored procedure? I am trying to use the copy command to copy one of the table data from user A to user B in the same database in a stored procedure with source database, username and password and destination database, username and password being used as input parameters. But I am getting ora - 900 error - invalid sql statement error. Any ideas? Here is my code: create or replace procedure copy_proc as sql1 varchar2(2000); begin sql1:= 'copy from primal/primal@primal to jstage2/jstage2@primal append carrier using select * from carrier'; execute immediate sql1; end; Any help in this regard will be very much appreciated.
