Try creating database link. First you should update your tnsnames.ora on Alpha so you can do tnsping from Alpha to intel, and then create database link in database on alpha. After that you can work with table on intel like your local table, and you can simply do

insert into alphaTable
select * from intelTable_at_intel.world;

And that's it.

If you're doing this once and never again, export and import may be better and faster thing to do, but if you need this on regular basis, then database link is better solution. Perhaps after creating database link you will not need to merge the tables, but you can create view so you can allways have the up-to-date data. Received on Thu Jan 10 2002 - 08:39:18 CET
