impd data only on the same database from one table to another table [message #689752]

Is it possible to use the impdp to import a table from one table to another table for the same database? The reason for this is that because I can't use expdp for dump file due to space issue on the server. The table I am trying to export is about close to half billion rows.

I tried this impdp with no success
impdp myUser@myDB/****** tables=myUser.sample_tab_import01 content=data_only remap_table=myUser.sample_tab_import01:sample_tab_import02 table_exists_action=truncate nologfile=yes 1>impdp_myDB.log 2>&1

I got these errors:

You have to use a db link as in my previous example.

It seems silly to create a db link on the same database but this is how it works.
I opened a SR on this in 10g and Oracle did not accept to create an enhancement request on this point.

Thinking about this, it seems it is just a command line syntax issue: as "dumpfile" parameter is optional, it can't know if your command refers on an implicit dump file or an export+import request.
I suggested we could specify a null dumpfile for this later but...

Note that I did not check but using a loopback db link may not mean Oracle uses the network layer.

I don't know if this is considered a loopback database link or not, but if you create a database link to the same database and use that as if it were a network link, then it works, as shown below.

SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> CONN scott/tiger@orcl
Connected.
SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> CREATE DATABASE LINK mylink CONNECT TO scott IDENTIFIED BY tiger USING 'ORCL'
  2  /

Database link created.

SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> CREATE TABLE dept2 AS SELECT * FROM scott.dept@mylink WHERE 1 = 0
  2  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> SELECT * FROM dept2
  2  /

no rows selected

SCOTT@orcl_12.1.0.2.0> HOST impdp scott/tiger tables=SCOTT.DEPT content=data_only network_link=mylink remap_table=DEPT:DEPT2

Well, in my example in his previous topic I used a db link on the current database, I didn't specify it as it does not matter. The main point is you have to use a db link if you want to import without exporting.
