Can you SELECT INTO a temporary table?

I was wondering if you can do this and what the syntax would be. I tried to SELECT INTO GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE and it didn't work.

If you are looking to Create a GTT, load data into it and then be able to select from the GTT after createion, you'll need to remember to preserve the rows after a commit e.g.:
create global temporary table gtemp on commit preserve rows as select * from tab;
However, your question is a bit on the vague side as to EXACTLY what you are wanting to do.
As an addendum
It didn't work is a completely useless statement without telling us how you know it didn't work

Is there a preferred format of XML that can be laoded into an Oracle table?

XML files vary quite a bit. From mere fragments to file carrying schema, etc. What is the preferred format of an XML file that can be loaded into an Oracle table assuming that the Schema agrees with the table structure.
It does not seem to load an XML file even with W3C namespace and all.
Krishnaswamy Jayaram

With XE there is XML support in the database but no XQuery, JNDI, or Servlet support.
If you give a specific example it could be helpful, here are simple write and read tests on XE;

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor

How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor at one time. I receive the error message, "Unable to Import Files", which says "You exceeded number of files that can be selecteed and imported at once...." What is the number? Secondly is there a way around this for either the Organizer or Editor to work on thousands of photos at the same time?
Thanks

I have never heard of this particular limit before.
Please understand, this appears to be the limit you can import into the Organizer at one time -- you can have as many photos as you want in the Organizer; but apparently you have to import in batches rather than all at once.
I don't think it applies to the editor; and I can't imagine wanting to have more then a few files in the editor at any one time ... even if you could open 2000 photos in the editor at once, what sense would that make?

HT5035 Can you select whether to use a gift card or your credit card when purchasing

I have iTunes gift cards but don't always want to redeem them. Sometimes I want to use my credit card. Do you have to automatically redeem the gift cards or can you select credit even if your gift card has a balance?

You can't choose which to use to pay for your order. The default order of payment is free credits first, if you have some, then store credits then credit card. I'm not sure how to explain this but this is what I know. You can contact support if you want for more info.

Select * into Table1 from Table not working

Hi,
How to copy data from one table to other new table using select * into statement.
I am getting missing keyword error when I use the statement
select * into Table1 from Table
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Praveen

the syntax is
INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM table2;

Select into from 2 tables

Thanks in advance
Is it possible do a SELECT INTO from 2 tables, that is (like in Informix)
declare
rg_table1    table1%ROWTYPE;
rg_table2    table2%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
             SELECT A.*, B.* INTO rg_table1 , rg_table2
                   FROM table1 a, table2 B
                        WHERE ....

no, I don't think so....

2     t1 t%rowtype;
3     s1 s%rowtype;
4 begin
5     select t.*
6          , s.*
7       into t1

Insert slow into Global Temporary Table...

I am working with a stored procedure that does a select into a global temporary table and it is really slow. I have read up on the append hint and know that it is not a solution since GTT's are in the temporary table space which are thus always appended and never have logs.
Is there something else that I need to know about performance for GTT? I find it hard to believe that Oracle would find it acceptable to take 50 seconds to insert 3300 rows.

My apologies in advance as my skill level with Oracle is not as high as I would like for this type of analysis and remediation.
I had thought of it being the select as well but if I run it by itself it takes about 1 second. The interesting part is when I explain plan on it with the Insert, the SQL plan changes.

As you can see there is a real spike in the cost and yet the only thing that was done was the addition of the Insert to GTT. From what I can ascertain the solution may be in an alternate SQL or finding some way to push Oracle into running the query as it would have for the first execution (non-insert).
I tried creating a simple view out of the SELECT statement to see if that would precompile it but in the end it ran exactly the same way.
The next thing that I am going to try is removing the PEAKS_RP_PEAKDAYMETER view by going more direct.
I have not done the trace file analysis yet. Should I still do that?

How can you SELECT via Database Link CLOB data using Application Express?

Customer Issue:
Developer using Oracle's Application Express 3.1. The Developer is trying to SELECT a CLOB datatype column from a remote (10.2.0.3) database, via a database link on her 10.2.0.4 based client Application. The Developer wants to be able to select CLOB data from the remote database which has limitation that she can't make any changes to the remote database.
Developer's Comments:
I do a select and get the error. Getting error ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables. So she feels she can't use dbms_lob.substr in this configuration I can do a "select into" but that is for one value. I am trying to run a select statement for a report that brings back more than one row. I do not have permission to change anything on the remote database. I want to access the remote database and multiple tables.
This is not something I work with, would greatly appreciate help or ideas. Is this a limitation of the 3.1; or does she just not have this set up correctly; or should she be using a Collection (if yes, please share example)
Thanks very much,
Pam

Hello???
Would really appreciate an answer.
Thanks,

This may not be a perfect solution for you but it worked for my situation.
I wanted to grab some data from Grid Control's MGMT$JOB_STEP_HISTORY table but I couldnt' create an Interactive Report due to the existance of a CLOB column. I cheated this by creating a view on the GC DB, grabbing the first 4000 characters and turning it into a varchar2 column:
create view test_job_step_history as
select job_Name, target_name, status, start_time, end_time, to_char(substr(output,1,4000)) output
from MGMT$JOB_STEP_HISTORY where trunc(end_time) > trunc(sysdate)-90
In an APEX Interactive Report:
select * from test_job_step_history@GCDB
Granted, the output looks aweful right now but I am only looking for a very particular output (failed, denied, ORA-, RMAN-, etc) so the formatting isn't the most important thing to me right now.
If anyone can improve -- and I'm sure you can -- on this I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks,
Rich
