You mean by import utility of oracle? If yes, then you cannot do so. But if the datatype is different and compatible then you can import it using IGNORE=Y option with your import command. Remember column name should be identical.

How many tables need to be imported? If only 5-10, then you can load the data between schemas by using INSERT command, no matter your columns names are different but dtattype should be identical or compatible. For example you have one table 'Employees' that has different structure then most popular table 'EMP', then your query would be look like:

Employees:
Employee# varchar2(3)
Ename varchar2(25)
salary number(5)
Department number(2)

INSERT INTO Employees (SELECT empno,ename,sal,dept FROM emp);

Regards

As mehak said, the tables are in different schemas.
So, one way to take care of it is by specifying the schema name as in:

INSERT INTO Employees (SELECT schema_name.empno,ename,sal,dept FROM emp);

Another way to do it is via synonyms.

The schema from which you run your INSERT statement needs a select privilege on the other schema.

Cheers,
Dan

Thanks dan to indicate my mistake.

INSERT INTO Employees (SELECT empno,ename,sal,dept FROM schema_name.emp);
