Question

I have a set of tables with data in one user schema.
I want a copy of those to another user.

Can this be done with SQL?

Thanks

Answer 1

If the two users are on the same database, and provided sufficient GRANTS are present, then just run the below statement in the new user schema:

create table <tablename> as select * from olduser.<tablename>;

EDIT:

Copy the below set of statements in a text file. Replace <oldueser> with the existing schema name and <path> with a path in the unix/windows machine where you want the spool to be written. Run this file in the existing schema. A spool file will be written in the path specified with the name tbls.sql. Take this tbls.sql and run it in the new schema, where you want the tables to be replicated.

set head off
set line 100000
set line 100000
set feedback off
spool <path>/tbls.sql
select 'CREATE TABLE ' || TABLE_NAME ||' AS SELECT * FROM <OLDUSER>.'||TABLE_NAME||';'
FROM user_tables; 
spool off
set feedback on
