Re: Move data from Oracle into Access

As long as you're planning to keep it in Oracle, the ODBC method is the way to go. If you're trying to do something else where you need to physically move the data easily, then you can use a select statement to create a comma delimited file (quoted or not quoted). You can then easily use the Access tools to import the data. You'll need to concatenate the data as follows.

SELECT '"'||column_1||'","'||column_2||'","'||column_3||'","'||'",'

    FROM table
 WHERE this condition is met

This way you get exactly what you want in the format you want. You can change the order of the columns. order of the data, etc. based on your select statement.

Make sure you spool to a file and that your environment is set correctly to handle the amount of data.
