Moving the FACT table records

Before you perform this task, make sure you have full access to the source and the destination databases (you need the database admin privileges).

  1. Create TNS entries.
  2. Connect to the source database.
  3. Move the data:

    • If a table does not exist, execute the following script:

      COPY FROM <source_user_name>/<source_pwd>@<source_tnsname> TO <target_user_name>/<target_pwd>@<target_tnsname> CREATE PR_DATA_IH_FACT USING SELECT * FROM PR_DATA_IH_FACT;
    • If a table exists with the exact same columns:

      1. Make sure there are no primary key (PK) constraints on the PXFACTID column in the destination database and do not move any constraints.
      2. Execute the following script:

        COPY FROM <source_user_name>/<source_pwd>@<source_tnsname> TO <target_user_name>/<target_pwd>@<target_tnsname> INSERT PR_DATA_IH_FACT USING SELECT * FROM PR_DATA_IH_FACT;
