log into target database. SQL> set long 32000 (or whatever if you have long datatype involved) SQL> set arraysize 100
SQL> set copycommit 1000 <-- LOOKY!! SQL> COPY FROM ${REMOTE_LOGIN}/[EMAIL PROTECTED] INSERT ${LOCAL_SCHEMA}.${THE_TABLE} USING ${QUERY}; In this case QUERY will probably be "select * from schema_owner.that_other_table". This uses sqlnet, NOT a database link. So the tnsnames.ora that your TNS_ADMIN points to must have an entry for the remote database. > -----Original Message----- > > I have 2 tables, Rqmt and Resource, same structure. > > I need to take all almost-one-million records from Rqmt and > insert them to Resource.
