Hi

Well you could set up a database link between the two databases and have a script which runs something like:

create tablea as select * from tablea_at_remotedblink where rownum <101;
create tableb as select * from tableb_at_remotedblink where rownum <101;
create tablec as select * from tablec_at_remotedblink where rownum <101;
create tabled as select * from tabled_at_remotedblink where rownum <101;

Wont work if you have long datatypes (not sure about blobs and clobs)
