Question

When I execute the following:

INSERT ALL INTO table@database_link(columnName) VALUES (columnValue)
SELECT columnValue FROM localTable;

I get an error

SQL Error: ORA-02021: DDL operations are not allowed on a remote
database
02021. 00000 – “DDL operations are not allowed on a remote database”
*Cause: An attempt was made to use a DDL operation on a remote database.
For example, “CREATE TABLE tablename@remotedbname …”.
*Action: To alter the remote database structure, you must connect to the
remote database with the appropriate privileges.

Note that when I do a regular (not an insert ALL into) … the insert works over the database link. (Grants are valid).

There are also NO triggers on either tables.

And I explicitly need the INSERT ALL INTO, to allow for the ability to insert into multiple tables.

Are INSERT ALL INTO operations not allowed into database link tables?

Answer 1

This message is a little misleading but anyway according to the Oracle SQL Reference

You cannot perform a multitable insert into a remote table.
