Right - but it is quite easy to use the dynamic SQL already illustrated in an earlier email reply (eg below) to capture the entirety of the DDL for a suite of tables, and transpose the whole lot into a new schema. In fact, I am doing this sort of thing repeatedly, as our users areas are regarded as 'development', with their objects (tables, triggers, constraints, the lot) being moved into our production schema more or less on demand.

select 'create table newuser'||'.'||table_name||' as select * from '||owner||'.'||table_name||';'
from dba_tables
where table_name like 'abc%';

Will give you some dynamic sql to do the creates. A similar statement would do the drops for the original tables afterwards assuming you have space for both.

I need to move selected tables from one schema to another schema within the same database. The tables I need to move all start with the same prefix (abc_sometablename). Say there are 200 tables out of 1000 that I want to move. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!
Ron
