Doris,

I have never claimed, that I am an expert, but
I will try to answer anyway.

What you need is a DATABASE LINK. The idea is
that you with some restrictions can reference
a remote table, e.g. test@AUDV, just as if it
were a local table.

I have made a quick and dirty test:

On remote database
------------------

drop table test;

create table test
(c  varchar2(40));

insert into test values
('This is remote data');

commit;


On local database
-----------------

create database link AUDV
connect to jhn
identified by remotepass
using 'AUDV';

create table localtab
(c varchar2(40));

insert into localtab values
('This is local data');

update localtab
set c =3D (select c
         from test@AUDV);

commit;


I hope this gives you an idea of
how it is working.

Regards
Jesper Haure Norrevang

I was wondering if any SQL experts are on the list.
I need to update a field in my current database with a field from =
another
database.

Any ideas how to do this through sql worksheet session?

Thanks,
Doris Goodson
