RE: Getting Number of Rows in CTAS across DBLink

[Khedr, Waleed]

Use pl/sql block with execute immediate 'create table < > as ...' Number of rows should be in sql%rowcount (immediately after execute immediate).   Waleed -----Original Message----- From: Arup Nanda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 3:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Getting Number of Rows in CTAS across DBLink List,   When I create a table as select * from another table across a dblink, how do I find out how many rows were created in the table? Is there a statistic somewhere, documented or otherwise, that tells me how many rows were fetched?   Currently I am using a rather convoluted approach - using the statistic, bytes received via SQL*Net to dblink, and dividing that by the average row size to get an approximate idea of the number of rows. However, this approximation is far from even reasonably accurate; and since the rowsize can change radically, it can be way off the mark. Any help or pointers will be highly appreciated.   Thanks.   Arup Nanda
