You can change your query to:

select s.* from source_tab s, rowid_list_tab r

where s.rowid=r.rowid

Hi gurus,

I need to copy a part of the table with a long field from one database to another.

If I try to use:

COPY FROM XXXXX/XXXXX_at_source

       TO YYYYY/YYYYY_at_target
     INSERT target_tab
     USING select *
             from source_tab
            where rowid in (select rowid
                              from rowid_list_tab)

the command breaks as, as far as I can see, COPY command does not allow a subquery.

I am on 8.0.4.

If anybody has had a similar problem and has found a workaround, or another idea how to copy a part of a table with a long field would be very much appreciated ? This is reallllllly important as a project is depending on that.

Thanks.

Djordje
