ROBUST PLAN error

Hi all,
I'm trying to INSERT rows from one table to the other in a Oracle Linked se
rver to SQL server.
My query is something like this:
INSERT INTO ORACLE_LINK..User.Table1
SELECT *
FROM ORACLE_LINK..User.Table2
I'm getting the following error:
Server: Msg 510, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot create a worktable row larger than allowable maximum. Resubmit your q
uery with the ROBUST PLAN hint.
(Both are oracle tables only).
Can anybody tell the reason for this error?
Thanks,
Siva.It looks like the rows in the Oracle tables are longer than the maximum
rowlength in SQL Server, which is 8060 bytes.
You are probably best off to issue this query as a pass-through query using
OPENQUERY(ORACLE_LINK, 'INSERT INTO User.Table1SELECT * FROM User.Table2')
