Waleed,

Thanks a bunch; it worked like a charm.

The list rules!

Arup

  Use pl/sql block with execute immediate 'create table < > as ...'   Number of rows should be in sql%rowcount (immediately after execute immediate).

    List,

    When I create a table as select * from another table across a dblink, how do I find out how many rows were created in the table? Is there a statistic somewhere, documented or otherwise, that tells me how many rows were fetched?

    Currently I am using a rather convoluted approach - using the statistic, bytes received via SQL*Net to dblink, and dividing that by the average row size to get an approximate idea of the number of rows. However, this approximation is far from even reasonably accurate; and since the rowsize can change radically, it can be way off the mark. Any help or pointers will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks.
