Hi all,
Please forgive this newbie question; I'm just getting started with PL/SQL.
I want to write a procedure to copy all rows from one table to another one
with an identical structure. The table has many rows so I'm committing
every thousand records (error handling to be added later). The table has
50+ columns and (if possible) I'd like to avoid listing them all in the
VALUES clause. I'm not just being lazy - I hope to deploy this code to
several databases and the source table, while having the same name, may have
differences in the columns. I want to do something like this:
DECLARE
count_ NUMBER;
CURSOR get_archive_records IS
SELECT * FROM customer_order_table;
BEGIN
count_ := 0;
FOR rec_ IN get_archive_records LOOP
INSERT INTO customer_order_archive
VALUES (rec_.*); -- OBVIOUSLY, THIS DOES NOT WORK
count_ := count_ + 1;
IF MOD(count_,1000) = 0 THEN
COMMIT;
END IF;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
Is there a way to accomplish this? Or is my whole approach all wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Beth
