Answer 1

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.
rgds,
