Hi Guys,

I have 2 databases located in two different server where the source server has more columns than the destination server.

For example, in tableA at source, i have 10 columns
and in tableA at destination, i have 8 columns

How do i actually transfer the data in source which matches the column of the data in the destination

If i use exp utility, it seems like it copies the whole database.

thank you very much in advance

Well, you can always use the SQL*Plus COPY command, create a Materialized View, or do a CTAS (CREATE TABLE AS) across a DB Link.

Or, if you need to load data exactly from that export dump.

create separate schema (i.e IMPSCHEMA), import the table there (yes, you can import a single table, even can apply a filter which rows to import).

then issue
INSERT INTO MYTABLE ...
SELECT ... FROM IMPSCHEMA.MYTABLE
