RE: insert and commit 1000 records at a time

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 ${REMOTE_LOGIN}/${REMOTE_PASSWORD}@${REMOTE_SID} 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.
