Don’t forget the COPY command in SQL*Plus (and SQLcl)

Submitted by oraclebase on Tue, 2015-12-01 08:40

One of the developers asked me to copy a small table from Live to Dev. In situations like this, my first thought is to use the SQL*Plus COPY command. By the way, this command is also available in SQLcl.

It’s super-easy and has been around forever. Provided you can live with the data type restrictions, it’s a lot less hassle than expdp/impdp, even with the NETWORK_LINK option.
