Arul,
-Have you had a look at replication for this purpose.
-You could create a database link and manually have a job
that inserts from 1 database to the other.
-Use the copy command to insert records.
It could become a problem if it is a very large table and you dump
to a flat file, especially if you have file system limits.
-If you need the whole table maybe export import might work.
Just a thought

Subject: Reg. SQL Loader..
Hi DBAs,
We have a big table (running in millions of records)on oracle 7.2. Regularly (say, once in a week or month), we have to take the data from the table to a flat file and load it in another oracle database (oracle 8).
I would like to know wether just a SELECT st. will be efficient in dumping the data in a flat file or PL/SQL to be used for the same.
One more issue in this is: If the file size (flat file) is more than OS file size limit , the script has to start dumping in second file and so on.
Does anybody worked on such scenarios?
Any examples will be highly appreciated.
TIA.
Arul.
