hi guy's

the problem:
i have 2 tables in 2 different db.

the second table in the second db contains the columns:job_num, data_posted, worker and adress.

job_num,worker and adress in the second db are allready fill with data.

now i would like to fill the "date_posted" column in the second db with data from the first db so that appropriate date_posted are assign to corresponding job_num as in the first db.

Hi,

First of all u have to create a DBLink which refers to another database and then use:

INSERT INTO TAB1 (SELECT JOB_NUM,DATE_POSTED FROM
TAB2@DBLINK);
