Hello All

(Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker)

I have to do a data extraction via sqlplus on a schema where I can't create physical tables. This extraction needs keys from a different schema on another host. So I thought I could extract the keys on the remote schema and copy them to a temporary table to loop over them. So my question: Is it possible, to use the copy command for inserting into a temporary table?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Roman

NO! Not in Oracle.
Just use an "select ... from ... where key in (select ... from remotetable)".

Unfortunately, this is not possible because I don't have a database link to the remote table. Creating one needs more time as I have.

I thought about something like this:

create global temporary table tmp_key_table
(
keys integer
) on commit preserve rows;

copy from from_user/from_password@from_database to
to_user/to_password@to_database
insert tmp_key_table using select keys from remote_key_table;

If this is not possible, are there any other possibilities? I just need to import a given list of integers to loop over in a PL/SQL block.

Kind regards,

Roman

Just try it but if you need a database link for your application then create it (or make it created if you have not the privilege).
