RE: Connect to a remote database without a link

Deprecated? Already? That sure didn't last long.

As far as what data types, I think it is whatever you can grab with a select statement. If you have long datatype, you need to do a set long 12345 (or whatever)

other stuff to set are
set arraysize 100 (or whatever)
set copycommit 1000 (or whatever)

I like the command. It seems to do a decent job of hauling over sizable chunks of data.
