What is the best wayt to copy tables with data from development to Prod?

Dear all,
We have Oracle tables with data in a development server, I would like to know if there is any ‘easy’ and ‘direct’ way to copy them to the production server.
As I think import and export would be the best way. Any other althernatives?
Thanks.

There are a number of methods you could use.
<ul><li>
Export and import would work or their 10g+ equivalents data pump. </li>
<li>You could create a database link between the 2 databases and use SQL*Plus copy to transfer data on a table by table basis (probably quite laborious unless there's only a few tables). </li>
<li>You could use transportable tablespaces (there are some restirctions - check the documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10595/tspaces013.htm#sthref1632) </li>
<li>You could use RMAN to clone the development database (assuming the prod database hasn't been used yet and that there's nothing in it you need to keep).</li>
<li>You could create the prod database as a standby copy of the dev database </li>
</ul>
Using transportable tablespaces would be much faster than using data pump or import/export depending on how much data there is.

  • What is the Best way To Copy and paste data from 1 book to another

     I have 18 sheets in 5 different books that I want to extract data from specific cells.  What is the best way to do this?  Example:  1 sheet is called Numbers E-O1 data in 13:WXYZ. The data updates and moves up 1 row every time I enter
    a new number. So let's say I enter the number 12. Through a lot of calculations the output goes in 13:WXYZ. To what I call a counter which is a 4 digit number.  Anyways, how can I send that 4 digit number to a totally different sheet?  To bullet
    what I'm talking about
    data in cells Row 13:WXYZ in book called Numbers sheet E-O1
    send data to book called "Vortex Numbers" Sheet E-O row 2001:CDEF
    What formula or Macro can I use to make this work?
    thank you!

    Hello Larbec,
    Syntax:
    '[BookName]SheetName'!Range
    Enter in cell  2001:CDEF:
    ='[Numbers]E-O1'!13:WXYZ
    This assumes that the file is open in Excel. Otherwise you need to add the path:
    'ThePath[BookName]SheetName'!Range

  • What is the best way to geotag photos with data from GPS Tracker Log (GPX format)?

    I just returned from a 4 month trip to Southeast Asia. Before I left, I set the time on my camera, a Canon 7D, to match the GPS time on my GPS tracker, a QStarz BT-Q1000X. Both times were set to UTC, also known as GMT.
    I have imported the data from the GPS log into Aperture as a GPX file. Now I would like to sync the location metadata on my photos with the data from the GPS log. How can I do this using Aperture 3?
    I seem to be having two problems:
    Aperture wants to shift the times based on which part of the track I drag the images onto. Since the camera and gps tracker times were sync'd, I do not want any shift.
    The time shifts that are displayed are 12 hours and a few minutes, rather than 0 hours and a few minutes.
    A few additional notes:
    When I imported the GPS track, Aperture automatically changed the time zone of the track to Asia/Ho Chi Minh City, which is correct (GMT+7).
    I have batch changed the images from Camera Time: UTC to Actual Time: GMT+7
    The time on my computer is US/Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4), or Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) when the photos where taken.
    Since I was gone for so long, and my GPS tracker memory is limited, I set the tracker to record a trackpoint once every 60 seconds.
    Is there a solution to my problems using Aperture 3, or should I start looking for third party applications to geotag the photos before importing them into Aperture?
    Thank you.

    I think the 12 hour discrepancy is more likely a result of the 12 hour difference between GMT+5 and GMT-7. The dates and times of the photos and the GPS track are displayed properly in Aperture. See the images below.

  • How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production

    Hi,
    How to transport/move a table with data from development to Test to Production..? Export-Import a Delivery Unit does only the structure and not the data
    Reg
    Sri

    Hi Sri,
    You cannot transport Data via Transport route in HANA, you can only transport code changes/Structure via DU. For Data movement, you either have a do a export/import from a flat file or replication from a Source System to HANA.
    Thanks Much,

  • Transport Table with Data from Development to Quality

    Hi
    Requirement:
    Transporting Table with Values from Development to Quality System.
    I have a Z* - table, appended one field at the end.
    I need to transport data along with the table structure from Development System to Quality System.
    In Development System, I have assigned the Transport request in Client 100(We can't add data to the table in this client).
    What needs to be done to migrate the new table structure with Values.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards,
    Baburaj
    NOTE: the requirement is to transport table and table entries through a transport request.
    There should not be any manual update for the table in the target System (Quality System).

    Check the delivery class assigned to the table. Please see the documentation
    Delivery class
        The delivery class controls the transport of table data when installing
        or upgrading, in a client copy and when transporting between customer
        systems. The delivery class is also used in the extended table
        maintenance.
        There are the following delivery classes:
        o   A: Application table (master and transaction data).
        o   C: Customer table, data is maintained by the customer only.
        o   L: Table for storing temporary data.
        o   G: Customer table, SAP may insert new data records, but may not
            overwrite or delete existing data records. The customer namespace
            must be defined in table TRESC. (Use Report RDDKOR54 here).
        o   E: System table with its own namespaces for customer entries. The
    customer namespace must be defined in table TRESC. (Use Report
    RDDKOR54 here.)
    S: System table, data changes have the same status as program
    changes.
    W: System table (e.g. table of the development environment) whose
    data is transported with its own transport objects (e.g. R3TR PROG,
    R3TR TABL, etc.).
    or during client copy
    the data of client-specific tables is copied.
    Classes C, G, E, S: The data records of the table are copied to the
    target client.
    Classes W, L: The data records of the table are not copied to the
    target client.
    Class A: Data records are only copied to the target client if
    explicitly requested (parameter option). Normally it does not make
    sense to transport such data, but is supported to permit you to copy
    an entire client environment.
    or during installation, upgrade and language import
    behavior differs here for client-specific and cross-client tables.
    nt-specific tables
    Classes A and C: Data is only imported into client 000. Existing
    data records are overwritten.
    Classes E, S and W: Data is imported into all clients. Existing data
    records are overwritten.
    Class G: Existing data records are overwritten in client 000. In all
    other clients, new data records are inserted, but existing data
    records are not overwritten.
    Class L: No data is imported.
    Cross-client tables
    o   Classes A, L and C: No data is imported.
    o   Classes E, S, and W: Data is imported. Exisitng data records with
         the same key are overwritten.
    o   Classe G: Data records that do not exist are inserted, but existing
         data records are not overwritten.
    ehavior during transport between customer systems
    Data records of tables of delivery class L are not imported into the
    target system. Data records of tables of delivery classes A, C, E, G, S
    and W are imported into the target system (this is done for the target
    client specified in the transport for client-specific tables).
    se of the delivery class in the extended table maintenance
    The delivery class is also analyzed in the extended table maintenance
    (SM30). The maintenance interface generated for a table makes the
    following checks:
    o   You cannot transport the entered data with the transport link of the
        generated maintenance interface for tables of delivery classes W and
        L.
    o   When you enter data, there is a check if this data violates the
        namespace defined for the table in table TRESC. If the data violates
        the namespace, the input is rejected.
    Thanks,

  • What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

    Hi,
    I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
    The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
    What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
    Thanks,
    Carsten.

    Hi,
    thanks for your answers so far!
    I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
    Alternative 1
    I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
    The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
    The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
    Alternative 2
    The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
    I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
    I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
    The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
    When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
    What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
    Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
    What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
    I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
    As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
    Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
    Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
    Thanks,
    Carsten.

  • What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported".

    What is the best way to copy aperture library on to external hard drive? I am getting a message that say's "There was an error opening the database. The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported". What does that mean? I am trying to drag libraries (with metadata) to external HD...wondering what the best way to do that is?

    Hi Shane.  Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
    How is the drive attached?
    Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
    Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
    Can you reformat the drive and try again?
    Hi Kirby,
    I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.

  • I'm buying a new Macbook Pro this week and am wondering what is the best way to copy over the software I have from my existing Macbook Pro to the new one? eg. Photoshop and Office etc. I no longer have the CDs.

    I'm buying a new Macbook Pro this week and am wondering what is the best way to copy over the software I have from my existing Macbook Pro to the new one? eg. Photoshop and Office etc. I no longer have the CDs.

    Ya know what I'm on a brand new MBP just about 24 hours old and you know whats been working amazingly for me. I have a 27inch iMac as well and i've just connected it to my network and been dragging files and apps across the network onto my new MBP. Its really working fast and its flawless. You could always do that option, Just go into sharing options and turn them on for both Macs. Then just click and drag. Of course they have to both be on the same network for this to be possible.
    Look at my network.
    Shared is what your looking at.  I click on there see all my computers files and then drag the ones i want form its folder to my MBP folders.  Hope that helps if your looking for a very simple way on a wireless network.

    What is the best way to copy a DVD I made from iMovie?  It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies.  I need to distribute it to about 20 people. It's 42 minutes long.

    You will need to save it as a video to the camera roll.
    Import it into windows as you would a photo.
    Then purchase DVD authoring software, and create a DVD.

  • What is the best way to create a database schema from XML

    What is the best way to create a database schema from XML?
    i have  a complex XML file that I want to create a database from and consistently import new XML files of the same schema type. Currently I have started off by mapping the XSD into Excel and using Mysql for Excel to push into MySQL.
    There must be a more .net microsoft solution for this but I cannot locate the topic and tools by searching. What are the best tools and way to manage this?
    Taking my C# further

    Hi Saythj,
    When mentioning "a database schema from XML", do you mean the
    XML Schema Collections? If that is what you mean, when trying to import XML files of the same schema type, you may take the below approach.
    Create an XML Schema Collection basing on your complex XML, you can find
    many generating tools online to do that.
    Create a Table with the above created schema typed XML column as below.
    CREATE TABLE youTable( Col1 int, Col2 xml (yourXMLSchemaCollection))
    Load your XML files and try to insert the xml content into the table above from C# or some other approaches. The XMLs that can't pass the validation fail inserting into that table.
    If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

  • What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

    What is the best method to import my iPhoto library from my macbook to my new iMac [27"]?

    You can copy your iPhoto Library to an external hard disk, USB flash drive, or other media (depending on the size of your iPhoto library). Then, you'd copy the iPhoto Library from that media to the same location on your iMac.
    Using the Finder, navigate to your Home folder (or click on Go from the menu bar and click on Home). Open the Pictures folder, select your iPhoto Library and then from the menu bar choose "Edit" and then "Copy". Then navigate to your external disk, click on "Edit", and then click on "Paste".
    Then, insert your media on the iMac, and copy the iPhoto Library from your external media to the same location on your iMac (the Pictures folder located under your Home folder).
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

    What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from current imac to my new imac.  Both imacs have iphoto 9.2.1
    os on old imac is 10.6.8.   os on new imac is 10.7.2.   I want the albums  and events to stay intact.  I have 4500 photos and 79 videos. 14.9 gb. looking for some advice here. Thanks so much.

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

    I have a pioneer vsx-910-k and airport express.I have a wireless network at home. What's the best arquiecture/config to do with this hardware?

    I would suggest that you connect the Pioneer to the AirPort Express Base Station using an optical digital audio cable that has a TOSlink connector on one end and a 3.5 mm optical connector (Mini Plug) on the other. You can then connect the Mini Plug end into the AirPort's audio port and the TOSlink end into one of the Pioneer's optical digital audio ports.
