Moving XML over a DBLink

Question

I am trying to move some data over a dblink and one of the columns is an XMLType column. The code looks like this:

begin
    delete from some_schema.some_remote_         


        

Answer 1

Instead Perform a Data PULL.

1. create the data pull procedure at Remote database B.
2. create synonyms and provide grants to the dblink user.
3. Call the Remote procedure from Database A (Source) Perform a commit at Database A(source).

(Meanwhile .. wait for oracle to find some solution to perform the PUSH of XML over dblink in the future)

Create a procedure at Remote site Database B

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PR_REMOTE(OP_TOTAL_COUNT OUT NUMBER) IS
BEGIN

  INSERT /*+ DRIVING_SITE(src) */
  INTO REMOTE_TABLE TGT_B
    (XMLDATA_COL)
    SELECT SRC.XMLDATA FROM LOCAL_TABLE@TGT2SRC_DBLINK SRC;

  OP_TOTAL_COUNT := SQL%ROWCOUNT;

END;

Call the procedure from Database A

DECLARE
  V_COUNT NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
  PR_REMOTE(V_COUNT);
  COMMIT;
END;
