Oracle has this capability and here is the Syntax;

 

COPY Command Syntax

 

COPY {FROM database | TO database | FROM database TO database} {APPEND|CREATE|INSERT|REPLACE} destination_table [(column, column, column, ...)]
USING query

 

where database has the following syntax:

username[/password]@connect_identifier

 

Copies data from a query to a table in a local or remote database. COPY supports the following datatypes:

CHAR DATE LONG NUMBER VARCHAR2

Example;

COPY FROM HR/your_password@BOSTONDB -
TO TODD/your_password@CHICAGODB -
CREATE NEWDEPT (DEPARTMENT_ID, DEPARTMENT_NAME, CITY) -
