ORA-02025 error while insert into emp@custard select ....

Question

Hello All,
I want to insert the row in MS Access 2003 database from SQL PLUS. My oracle version is 9.2.0.1. and OS is Windows 2000 server.
Insert command is:
SQL> insert into emp@custard select empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno from emp ;
and the error is
ORA-02025: all tables in the SQL statement must be at the remote database.
Thanks for helping me.
Akshay.
PS: i am able to see the records of Access table in SQL Plus using below command
select * from acc_tab@custard ;

Hi,
I got the solution.
You can not use directly Insert into remote_table select * from local_table while the other database is not oracle database. The same can be done as:
SQL> select * from emp@custard ;
no rows selected
SQL> copy from scott/tiger@trimcap insert emp@custard using select * from emp ;
Array fetch/bind size is 15. (arraysize is 15)
Will commit when done. (copycommit is 0)
Maximum long size is 80. (long is 80)
14 rows selected from scott@trimcap.
14 rows inserted into EMP@CUSTARD.
14 rows committed into EMP@CUSTARD at DEFAULT HOST connection.
SQL> select * from emp@custard ;
