How to copy a table with LONG and CLOB datatype over a dblink?

Hi All,
I need to copy a table from an external database into a local one. Note that this table has both LONG and CLOB datatypes included.
I have taken 2 approaches to do this:
1. Use the CREATE TABLE AS....
SQL> create table XXXX_TEST as select * from XXXX_INDV_DOCS@ext_db;
create table XXXX_TEST as select * from XXXX_INDV_DOCS@ext_db
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
2. After reading some threads I tried to use the COPY command:
SQL> COPY FROM xxxx/pass@ext_db TO xxxx/pass@target_db REPLACE XXXX_INDV_DOCS USING SELECT * FROM XXXX_INDV_DOCS;
Array fetch/bind size is 15. (arraysize is 15)
Will commit when done. (copycommit is 0)
Maximum long size is 80. (long is 80)
CPY-0012: Datatype cannot be copied
If my understanding is correct the 1st statement fails because there is a LONG datatype in XXXX_INDV_DOCS table and 2nd one fails because there is a CLOB datatype.
Is there a way to copy the entire table (all columns including both LONG and CLOB) over a dblink?
Would greatelly appriciate any workaround or ideas!
Regards,
Pawel.

Hi Nicolas,
There is a reason I am not using export/import:
- I would like to have a one-script solution for this problem (meaning execute one script on one machine)
- I am not able to make an SSH connection from the target DB to the local one (although the otherway it works fine) which means I cannot copy the dump file from target server to local one.
- with export/import I need to have an SSH connection on the target DB in order to issue the exp command...
Therefore, I am looking for a solution (or a workaround) which will work over a DBLINK.
Regards,
Pawel.

Copying a table from one databse to another

Hi,
I used the following code to copy a table from one database to another.
set copycommit 1
set arraysize 1000
copy from username/passwd@tnsname -
create <tablename> -
using -
select * from <tablename>
But I get the following error:
set copycommit 1
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
Could you please let me know how this can be done.
Thanks,
Narasimhan

Thanks for your suggestions.I created a database link.I had no problems.
Then when i issue the command
copy from uname/password@db
create <tablename>
using
select * from <tablename>
<Here db is database link to source database identified by uname and password>.
I still get the error
copy from uname/password@db
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Does it mean that the command is wrong?Or I'm doing something different.
Thanks!

Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

Hi,
I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table. However, none of the comments copied. When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option. -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window. This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
begin
     execute immediate p_sql;
end;
begin
run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes. It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12. (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
declare
c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' AND comments IS NOT NULL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
Thoughts?
thanks//jacob

I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time.
I don't agree with this work flow. Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys. Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand. Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-20453
This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

4.0 EA3 - Data Default not duplicated when copying a table

I noticed that when copying a table from one schema to another, if a column has a data default property it is not preserved.
Steps to recreate:
Copy a table that has at least one column with a non-null DATA_DEFAULT property (right click on table -> table -> copy)
Double click on the new table, and open the Columns tab. Notice that all values under DATA_DEFAULT are null.

The same behavious exists in 3.2.20.09 and whether the table has existing data or not.

Simple: How to copy a Table from one Database to another?

I already know how to do it by creating an identical table and then inserting the Data.
Like so:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dByDtMinusC5 ON
INSERT INTO [DB1]..T1 ([Id], [HbyD] , [K] )
SELECT [Id], [[HbyD]]] ,[K] FROM [DB2]..T2
As you can see I need to have T1 in order to copy T2 into DB1. Is there any way that I could auto create T1 and copy T2?
There are so many forums in sql server Category, I hope I posted in the right one :0 . We need tag system for forums.

Hi Bhupinder,
According to your description, you want to copy a table with Primary keys from one database to another database.
As per my understanding, I think the best method is use Transfer SQL Server Objects Task in SQL Server Integration Services. The Transfer SQL Server Objects task transfers one or more types of objects in a SQL Server database between instances of SQL Server.
Server roles, roles, and users from the specified database can be copied, as well as the permissions for the transferred objects. Indexes, Triggers, Full-text indexes, Primary keys, Foreign keys can also be copied.
To use the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, we should create a SQL Server Integration Services Project in SQL Server Data Tools, then drag a Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to Control Flow pane. Specify SourceConnection, SourceDatabase, DestinationConnection
and DestinationDatabase for the Connection, select the table in the ObjectsToCopy category, then change CopyPrimaryKeys to True and the other corresponding properties in the task.

How to copy all tables, triggers, etc from one user schema to another

Hello everybody!
I am searching for a QUERY or Stored Procedure to copy the tables of one user schema to another schema.
Should look kind of: Copy (Select * from all_objects where owner = 'UserIwantToCopyFrom') to user = 'UserIwantToCopyTO'
I am sure that my example is rubbish but I tried to explain what I want to do.
So is there a chance to do that within sql-code? I have to build a template of a user schema with hundreds of tables, triggers, etc and copy it to several other user schemas.
Thanks for your advice!
Jan

There are numerous examples available.
What you typically will want to do is:
For the export use the job_mode => 'SCHEMA' option
Export example
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDataPump10g.php
DECLARE
l_dp_handle       NUMBER;
l_last_job_state VARCHAR2(30) := 'UNDEFINED';
l_job_state       VARCHAR2(30) := 'UNDEFINED';
l_sts             KU$_STATUS;
BEGIN
l_dp_handle := DBMS_DATAPUMP.open(
    operation   => 'EXPORT',
    job_mode    => 'SCHEMA',
    remote_link => NULL,
    job_name    => 'EMP_EXPORT',
    version     => 'LATEST');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.add_file(
    handle    => l_dp_handle,
    filename => 'SCOTT.dmp',
    directory => 'TEST_DIR');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.add_file(
    handle    => l_dp_handle,
    filename => 'SCOTT.log',
    directory => 'TEST_DIR',
    filetype => DBMS_DATAPUMP.KU$_FILE_TYPE_LOG_FILE);
DBMS_DATAPUMP.metadata_filter(
    handle => l_dp_handle,
    name   => 'SCHEMA_EXPR',
    value => '= ''SCOTT''');
DBMS_DATAPUMP.start_job(l_dp_handle);
DBMS_DATAPUMP.detach(l_dp_handle);
END;
/for the import you will have to use the remap_schema option with:
DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_REMAP (
   handle      IN NUMBER,
   name        IN VARCHAR2,
   old_value   IN VARCHAR2,
   value       IN VARCHAR2,
   object_type IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);There are much more details in the document that Thierry provided.

In Pages, How to copy a table? How to make a table as a Header?

Hi, How can I copy a table? I selected it , command c, then clicked where I wanted the copy, and clicked command v. Only the text from the table was copied. The table outline did not paste.
I would like the table to appear under the Header of every page of the document. So I tried placing the table in the Header. Worked for the first page, but did not appear in the Header of the second page ... just a really big Header box.
Thank you for your help.

Hi, margaretfromn
I'm sorry this reply may not solve your problem. I have the same problem as you.
What I have found that tables can be copied by using "option+drag" WITHIN the document. But, the same technique do not work across documents.
In Pages '09, there is a function to convert text to table, but it has disappeared in Pages 5 as the other convenient functions.
Cheers,

How do I copy a table from a Pages 09 document to a Pages 5 document

I am trying to copy a table from a Pages 09 document into the new version of Pages. When I select the table and copy, in the new version it turns it into text and does not copy the table structure. Any ideas?
Thanks

Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

How to Copy a table from mail to Numbers

Hi,
Today I received a mail from Exchange user. He Paste a table in to the mail and sent to me. I am using safari on Ipad 3.
i just want to copy tat table to Numbers; whenever i try to Select "Select all" all shows selected but after copying tabel can be shown !
Can you suggest me the way to resolve this issue.

Edit:
I realize I should have said: I don't know how to make Copy in Mail and Paste in Numbers work. I know how it should work, just as you believe it should work. When I try, the best I can do is a 1-column table of text, similar to what you get in OSX numbers if you Paste into the text layre of a cell rather than into a Sheet.

Please help ASAP, as this is effecting our testing team. I have tried to copy individual tables also using a transport request number and SCC1 to copy it to the target client. This is also taking quite a long time.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Abdul,
What does your system log say ?
Check this SAP Note
Note 579783 - CC ERROR: Loss of data - table not copied
run the report RSCC_VERIFY to check if the table is consistent within the source client.
SAP will only provide support for RSCC_VERIFY messages if there is a specific problem in an application in the target client that can be assigned immediately to the messages.
RSCC_VERIFY is delivered with SAPKB46B49, SAPKB46C35 and SAPKB46D24. In older releases, you can create the report in the ABAP editor (transaction SE38) in accordance with the attached advance correction. Use the development class or the STRM package for this.

Copying multiple tables from On Premises SQL to Azure Blob

Hello Team,
Using ADF, I wanted to move data from On Premises dataset having multiple tables to Azure Blob. Can you please provide some help or share some samples ?
Thanks,
Eshetu

You would follow this sample:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/data-factory-use-onpremises-datasources/
Essentially you use a Data Management Gateway service to live on premises to talk to SQL Server or to NTFS file system, to copy up to WASB blob storage.
I don't know the bit about multiple tables in one JSON document, but I believe it can process a folder of files by giving the folder path instead of the full file name. You may have to use multiple data sets to copy multiple tables.
Thanks, Jason
