How do I read from one table and write to another identical table?

I am very new to Oracle. I am trying to do something that should be very simple.
I am trying to read from one table in SQL and then write to another
Identically formatted table. I keep getting various errors. Could someone please
post some vey simple code that will work so that I can play around with it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Thanks, but I must be missing something.
I have two tables, SONGLIST and SETLIST.
The second line by itself works just fine on either table.
Here is the code I used following your seggestion, along with it's error message.
Hope you can help. Thanks again...
INSERT INTO SETLIST
SELECT TITLE FROM SONGLIST WHERE ROTATION <> 'X'
ORA-00947: not enough values

If you want to copy files as fast as possible, without processing them (as the DOS "copy" or the Unix "cp" command), you can try the java.nio.channels package.
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class Kopy {
     * @param args [0] = source filename
     *        args [1] = destination filename
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (args.length != 2) {
            System.err.println ("Syntax: java -cp . Kopy source destination");
            System.exit(1);
        File in = new File(args[0]);
        long fileLength = in.length();
        long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream (in);
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream (args[1]);
        FileChannel fci = fis.getChannel();
        FileChannel fco = fos.getChannel();
        fco.transferFrom(fci, 0, fileLength);
        fis.close();
        fos.close();
        t = System.currentTimeMillis() - t;
        NumberFormat nf = new DecimalFormat("#,##0.00");
        System.out.print (nf.format(fileLength/1024.0) + "kB copied");
        if (t > 0) {
            System.out.println (" in " + t + "ms: " + nf.format(fileLength / 1.024 / t) + " kB/s");

How to Read from two file and write to another file --Please help !!

Hi all,
Please suggest me where i'm goin goin wrng.
I have 2 flat files. one of them is the main file(Ann.dat) has a about 150,000 lines (each line has unique ID from 00001 to 45000) of data and the the other(Miss.dat) has a just a list of IDs that are no longer in use & have to be deleted from the first file(NewAnn.dat). (Note that Ann.dat is a tab delimitted file and Miss.dat is just a list of all invalid IDs)
Below is my code. It doesn't do what I'm supposed to. Please suggest me or help me with a code to do it. What I'm trying to do is read each of the lines from the 2 files compare the ID in ann.dat with all the IDs in Miss.dat & if it doesn't match with the ID in Miss.dat write the whole line to NewAnn.dat. And do the rest with all the lines in Ann.dat.
It could be a real dumb question. since i'm not a software professional, I consider myself to be newbie to programming. I desperately need your help.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class anntemp{
     public static void main(String[] args)
          String keyAnn ="";
          String keyMis="";
          String recAnn =null;
          String recMis =null;
          try{
          FileReader fr=new FileReader("C:\\Tom\\Ann.dat");
          BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(fr);
          int couter=0;

          FileReader fr1=new FileReader("C:\\Tom\\Miss.dat");
          BufferedReader br1=new BufferedReader(fr1);
          while((recMis = br1.readLine())!=null){

     BufferedWriter bw=new BufferedWriter(fw);
     PrintWriter pw=new PrintWriter(bw);
     StringBuffer writeValue = new StringBuffer();

I think you need to close the files when you are done in the inner loop. Plus I think you'll be overwritting the file in the inner loop if more than one match. It might be easier to read the unused id file into a map at the start, and then loop up the id's from the master file in the map. You can put the unused id's in as the keys, and a Boolean.TRUE as the value (value won't matter). Then just check if the map contains the key for the id read from the master file. That should cut down on disk activity. This assumes the unused id file is smallish.

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

Options:
1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

Read from Oracle DB and Write to MySQL

Hi All,
I am fairly new to database administration, so please bear with me if this is something that is simple or not achievable at all -
SetUp:
I have an Oracle DB on one dedicated Server, to which I only have a read_only access.
I have a MySQL database setup on a windows server 2008, both are on the company network and accessible to internal employees only.
Problem Statement:
I need to read certain tables from Oracle DB and push the records to MySQL database.
I have a stored procedure which was doing this but from one Oracle Schema to another, which is running fine, now I need to use the same stored procedure but read from one database (Oracle) and write to another database (MySQL), is there a way to do this through the stored procedure, I know I can write a java program to do this, but need to do it through a stored procedure.
Appreciate any help in this regards.

Show us how you've read the data and what you've tried to do to parse it. Once you've got the last rows, you can loop over them using Spreadsheet String to Array (after cleaning up a few messy spaces).
Jim,
I didn't know you're that active on here.
Yes, There will always be the same number of noise header information.
I'll show you in person

as Gasparotto said, copy the csv file to the database server.
create a directory object on the database.
create directory dir_temp as 'e:\mydir'
grant read, write on directory dir_Temp to <user>
and then map this csv file to the external table using the below syntax.
CREATE TABLE tab_hierarchy
node_id          NUMBER,
parent_id     NUMBER,
description      VARCHAR2(255)
ORGANIZATIOn EXTERNAL
     TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY dir_temp
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
     records delimited by newline
     fields terminated by ','
     (node_id,parent_id,description)
     LOCATION ('tree.csv')
PARALLEL
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;in the above code, replace the filename under the LOCATION with your csv file name.
now you should be just able to do select on this table and insert to the other main tbale.

Read blob 's data and write them to a table

I've managed at last to upload a blob to a table database (thanks to KUBA's)
Now I want to retrieve the blob from the database table , read it's contents and insert them to a new table. I want to do this after the upload process finishes...
the blob is always a txt file similar to this
GR;Greece
CY;Cyprus
Because I am a bit lost any guidelines would be very helpfull
thanks

Hi user571628. A couple of days ago I was working on the same thing, I couldn't finish the app. 'cause I was assigned to do other web app., I used the same example as you to upload the image to the DB and someone called "gnewtonaus" came up with what appears to be an excellent idea to do it, you have to use something called PL/SQL web toolkit (I have never used it and don't know how it works)... but this is what you have to do:
You've already solved the upload part so to download the BLOB (say an image in his example) you can use a simple PL/SQL stored procedure like the one below
E.g to display an image (from the DB) on an HTML page you just use

-- Display a photo from the database
procedure display_photo(i_person_id in varchar2) is
v_blob blob;
begin
-- retrieve blob from database
select image into v_blob from pho_photos where person_id = i_person_id;
-- set http headers
owa_util.mime_header('image/jpeg', FALSE);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(v_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- initiate direct BLOB download
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);
exception
when others then
htp.p(to_char(sqlcode)||' - '||sqlerrm) ;
end; -- display_photo

If you get it running please post how you did it, bacause I'll have to come back and do it myself.
