    Hi,

    I have migrated a table from an existing Access system and I need to copy a part of this table to another.

    EX: The existing (Access)table (Table A)had a product name and product number (among other things). In my new table, (Table B), I only need the product name from that table. The other columns in the new Oracle table (B) were not in the Access table (A).

    How do I insert only the product name from table A into table B.

    Hi

    You can use the following statement

    create table b as select productname from a;

    If the table allready exists you can use the following statement

    insert into b(productname) select productname from a;

    Regards
