Copy command in oracle

hi how i can do this following in copy command-------------
t1 t2
id1 val1 id1 val1
copy from user1/pass1@db1 to user2/pass2@db2 insert t2 using select *from t1
now in my case i have some data in t2 in such a way that id1(tab2) and id1(tab1) are same but their value(here val1(tab2) and val1(tab1)) are different.
as id1 is primary key in tab2 i cannot insert this matched values.
now i want to do this checking in the copy command where tab1.id1<>tab2.id1

hi
Create DB link like
CREATE DATABASE LINK local
CONNECT TO hr IDENTIFIED BY hr
USING 'local';
Try to access or insert the rows in the remote table by using the following command
insert into tab1 SELECT * FROM tab1@local where pkid not in ( select pkid from tab1);

Dabase link while using copy command in Oracle 9i

Hi,
Is it must to have a database link while copying data between two databases in Oracle 9i using COPY command?
I am using the copy command like following:
SQL> copy from xxx/xxx@xyz to abc/abc@stu insert Table using select * from Table
Database link is always required in Oracle 9i to copy data ?

When you use the copy command, all you need is that both databases are in the tnsnames.ora file and you can commect using the username/password#sid string. The copy command doesn't use the DBlink.

Copy statement in Oracle 8.1.6

Hi all,
I want to copy records from one database to another database. the following statement works in Oracle 9i
where as not in Oracle 8.1 .
SQL> copy from abc/xyz@a to def/qqq@b insert T1 using select * from T1
the erroe is ORA-00928 Missing SELECT Statement .
will copy command in Oracle 8i works same as Oracle 9i?

hi,
I am using Oracle 8.1.6 client and
copy script is :
copy from a/a@abc to xyz/xyz@x insert ps_lm_adhc_lrn_tbl -
using select * from lm_adhc_lrn_tbl_uk where -lm_person_id is not null -
and lm_per_trn_st_dt is not null and lm_per_trn_ed_dt is not null and -
lm_per_trn_nm is not null and lm_requestor_id is not null
error message is :CPY006 select list has more columns than destination table.
I am sure that both table strudture and number of columns are same and same script worked when i was using Oracle 9.2 client.

Coppy commit while using copy command

I am seeing the following message when I used Copy command in Oracle 9i.
Array fetch/bind size is 15 (arraysize is 15)
Will commit when done (coppycommit is 0)
Maximum long size is 80 (long is 80)
Could someone tell what does it mean and is there any harm with coppycommit being ZERO ? If so how we could change it ?
DBA was telling the following:
In using the copy command in oracle, not specifying 'arraysize' and 'copycommit' attributes for large records will blow up the rollback segment and return errors.
thanks,
Karna

Oracle Copy command

Hi,
I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with a question/issue I have when using the copy command in SQLPlus. The scenario entails moving specific columns from a table in DB A to a new table in DB B (DB B is on a completely different server). When I use the copy from to create select command I am finding that the column sizes are being increased by a factor of 4. So in my source table I have a column which is VARCHAR2(15 CHAR), yet after the copy command is complete the target table has the same column as VARCHAR2(60 CHAR).
Does anyone know how I can get copy to keep the column sizes the same? i.e. VARCHAR2(15 CHAR) in source, VARCHAR2(15 CHAR) at target.
I have tried pre-creating the tables which the correct sizes and then using insert in the copy command, however it errors out when it thinks the size has been exceeded.
Thanks in advance

Hope this pastes ok:
Target System:
desc s_addr_per
Name Null Type
ROW_ID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(60 CHAR)
CREATED NOT NULL DATE
CREATED_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(60 CHAR)
LAST_UPD NOT NULL DATE
Source System:
desc siebel.s_addr_per
Name Null Type
ROW_ID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(15 CHAR)
CREATED NOT NULL DATE
CREATED_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(15 CHAR)
LAST_UPD NOT NULL DATE
Note : this is a only the first couple of columns in the table

Copy Command in Pl/Sql block

Can I use Copy command in Pl/Sql.For example :-
Declare
cursor c1 is select table_name from all_tables
where owner = 'LSP' and rownum = 1;
v1 varchar2(2000);
Begin
for c2 in c1 loop
v1:='copy from lsp/lsp123479@dvlaq to scott/[email protected] create '|| c2.table_name ||' using select * from '||c2.table_name;
execute immediate v1;
end loop;
end;
Its not running properly giving an error as invalid Sql statement .
Is it bcoz Copy command cannot be used in a Pl/Sql Block.

Is there any other way to move the Table & data to another Data Base .Database link is the obvious one. And the SQL statement would look something like this (on the target database):
SQL> create table FOO nologging as select * from FOO@sourcedb;
However, the first question I always ask if why? What one may think is the solution to a problem is not always the best solution. So one need to identify the problem first, and then see what solutions there are and which one is the best fit.
Other options are replication (using materialised views for example), Data Pump (available with 10G) - even could be Data Guard, a standby database, or a Real Application Cluster... depending on just what the problem and actual requirements are.
Also important to note that SQL*Plus has its own set of commands. Do not confuse these commands (like EXEC, COPY, CONNECT, HOST etc) with the SQL and PL/SQL Languages. Not only are they executed by different software products, SQL*Plus commands are executed on the client and SQL (and PL/SQL) runs inside the Oracle database instance.

Copy command in Sqlplus

I am using 8.1.6 and 8.1.7, but the copy command does not seem to work on either cases, the sqlplus just crash, did you guys have the similar problem? Is it a bug in oracle or there is some parameter I need to set up correctly?
Your help is highly appreciated.

it works i tried

COPY command in SQL*Plus 8.1.6 returns ORA-65535

The COPY command in the windows version of SqlPlus (SQLPLUSW) does not work any more. I get the following error
<< Array fetch/bind size is 5. (arraysize is 5)
Will commit after every array bind. (copycommit is 1)
Maximum long size is 80. (long is 80)
ERROR:
ORA-65535: Message 65535 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=ORA >>
Interestingly, I can run the same COPY command successfully if I use SQLPLUS.exe ( the command line version ). No error & it completes the copy.
I recently changed my Oracle client from 7.3 to v8.1.6.
I had not encountered this problem with the same command in v7.3.

You may have run into bug 1504702. As a workaround you will need to use command line, as you've already figured out. I don't think a patch is available for Windows yet, although there is for Solaris (in the 8.1.7.4 patch set).

OS Command in ORACLE LINUX platform

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue while using OS Command in ORACLE LINUX platform.
I am using the command as ls -1 /home/oracle/data > /home/oracle/data/All_FILES_NAMES.txt
Its working in terminal, But not in ODI procedure.
Its throwing error as 'wrong process return code-2'.
Kindly help me.
Thanks,
Haree

CKMs moves the error records to E$ table. In your case I believe you can achieve it through procedure by having first step to copy the error record in MISSED_REC table and then have a second step to read from this tabel and send our email through oditool.

SQL*Plus 'Copy' command and LONG datatypes

Hi. I'm using Oracle 9.2.0.5 and wanna copy LONG to LONG without using an Interface in VB or any other programming language.
Some of the fields (plain text) are greater than 32 Kb, and I tried the SQL*Plus 'Copy' command, without success.
(For compatibility reasons I can't convert LONG to CLOB, I need to copy LONG to LONG)
This is the example I'm working with:
Table Source_LONG (ID number, DATA long)
Table Destination_LONG (ID number, DATA long)
The SQL*Plus command: (connected from test_database@environment)
set long 100000
copy from test_database/test_database@environment insert destination_long (id,data)
I tried using both FROM and TO, but same results.
The fields are copied into destination_long, but they are
truncated at 32768 bytes, even with the LONG variable set to 100000. Any ideas ?
Thanks.

I'm working with 2 similar tables with this structure:
SOURCE_LONG (ID number, DATA long)
DESTINATION_LONG (ID number, DATA long)
SOURCE_LONG contains two rows:
ID DATA
1 hello
3 ....text bigger than 32kb...
I tried your solution and it insert 2 rows, but only the ID is filled. The DATA is empty in both cases :-(
insert into destination_long(id,data) (select id,to_lob(data) from source_long);

Copy command hangs

Hello All,
I'm having problems copying data between
oracle 8.1.6.1 dbs, both running on Red
Hat 6.2.
I'm using syntax like
copy from username/password@server -
insert applications -
using select * from applications
This works fine when copying between
oracle 8.1.6.2 dbs running on solaris,
but on linux the command hangs and
starts sucking up CPU.
Thanks in advance,
Asif.

thx Kaj for your quick and helpful reply...
now i just use xcopy with /Q to not display so much information!!
but what's the good way to read both stdout and stderr at the same time and store them as useful informations!?
thx again : )

Copy command looses default values

Hi,
I have got a problem with the COPY command. I just want to copy the data in a very fast way to copy from one remote database to another one. I suggested that it would be the fastest way to use the copy command.
insert into (select * from dblink) has been to slow
The problem is that the copy command with REPLACE replaces the table, drops the indexes, trigger AND the default values!!!!!!
Is there a possibility to solve this problem? Or is there another way to load the data in a very, very fast way?
Thank you very much

It sounds like the destination table already exists. What about doing
a DELETE to clean up the destination table and then using COPY INSERT?
COPY may or may not be fast depending on a range of things. With
COPY, all the data gets moved across the network from the source DB to
SQL*Plus and then across the network again to the destination DB.
What about export/import or the new 10g "datapump"? See
http://otn.oracle.com/obe/obe10gdb/integrate/datapump/datapump.htm

COPY command replacement

Given that the COPY command is now deprecated (and clearly documented in 10gR2 - sqlplus user's guide that it will be obsoleted in future releases of SQL*Plus, will there be any replacement command in sqlplus?
We were planning to use it to implement for our simulation model - but given it is deprecated and does not support new data types, we are forced to look for alternatives. What are the alternatives for a local area network or copying data between two oracle accounts using different tablespaces on the same db server?
Pro*C/Direct Path Load,
expdp/impdp,
copy over dblink and then recreate the constraints and indexes,
which one will be faster, should be used based on the following?
What we want to do is to checkpoint (save) historical game data, and if required/necessary, be able to bring back the data from a saved game checkpoint X, where X can be any number (checkpoint 4 or 20, etc). We also want to hold onto the saved game checkpoint files so that we can take it to another place for after action review purposes.
Any input is appreciated.
regards.

copying data between two oracle accounts using different tablespaces on the same db server?For this I would grant SELECT on the table to be copied to the target Oracle account and use CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ... and recreate constraints and indexes.

"Copy Command Desupport"

Heard that "Copy Command will be obsolete in coming Oracle versions . Any idea , quick answers will be really appriciated.

Contradiction over COPY command
A. Release Note 9.2.0.2
April 2002
Part No. A96545-01
7.1 COPY Command
COPY supports the datatypes listed for the COPY command in the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference, but no new datatypes will be supported. The COPY command may be obsoleted in a future release of SQL*Plus.
B. SQL*Plus® User's Guide and Reference Release 10.1

Copy command of SQLPLUS is failing

Oracle Version 8i.
When trying to use the copy command -in SQLPLUS- to copy the data from one database to the other, I am encountering the following error.
Error: SP2-0027: Input is too long (> 2499 characters) - line ignored
Reason for using the copy command is: Allows me to set commit points as against Insert into ... select * from command.
The table, I am copying has lot of columns and the number of characters in the script are more than 3000.
Where is the restriction of 2499 characters set? Is there a way to alter this?
Thanks

You can export the table(s) and import into your database.
