Copying more than one tables from one database to another

Question

I have 160 tables in one database. Requirement is to copy them into different database.

Database : Oracle using TOAD tool.

Ex:

Database A: 160 tables

Database B: want to copy all 160 tables from Database A into B.

I know I can write DB link for one table coping but I want to copy all 160 tables from different database. is that possible?

Answer 1

I would suggest the standard DATA PUMP feature. You need to export all the 160 tables from source using EXPDP and then import them into the destination database using IMPDP .

See the documentation to read more about DATA PUMP .

I believe most of the GUI based tools like TOAD , SQL Developer etc. has the export and import features.

Answer 2

Given that you only need the tables/data and you are not concerned about indexes and constraints, and given that you can use a DBLINK, you could use a simple script to copy all tables from the remote server to your local server:

BEGIN
    FOR C IN (SELECT * FROM USER_TABLES@REMOTEDB) LOOP
        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE TABLE ' || C.TABLE_NAME || ' AS (SELECT * FROM ' || C.TABLE_NAME || '@REMOTEDB)';
    END LOOP;
END;
/

If this is not an option, DATA PUMP should indeed be used, as @LalitKumarB already said.
