This is what i'm using copy from schema.table@server insert local_table using select * from schema.table where .... I'm getting a "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied". I'm sure the username and password are correct because I can log into the database using those credentials. I'm using the same syntax to copy data between servers and it works fine, but when I try to do it with my pc ... it fails with that error. Any clue about this? -- Regards GBA
