He meant losE the "SFDATA." as in, get rid of it. You don't need to prefix the owner/schema to every column in your query, if that is the UserID that you are using to connect. But my guess is that Oracle is complaining about the "INTO". Instead, try INSERT INTO TESTTABLE SELECT <column1>, <column2>, <column3>, ... FROM <table>; with no INTO clause in the SELECT part.
