OK, so I'm really a newbie on Oracle - I've used MS-SQL for a while though...

I have access to a remote server running 10g (I think on a UNIX box) from my WinXP machine. I seem to be able to run some queries (e.g. Select count(*) from table), and can certainly create a table from dta in aother table,whcih is what I have done. I now have a new table which I can count the records from (588 is all!), but I cannot select * from the table to see the records.

I'm trying to use a query tool called AquaDataStudio, as that seems more familiar to me, and when I have tried to use SQL*Plus I can't see a way to copy and paste the data into Excel to be able to do some analysis on it.

Somehow though, there is no way that I can actually select data from the table and see it.

Am I missing something really obvious? I guess I must be, but I have no idea what I can be doing wrong, or how on earth to just get to see my data.

Any help woul be HUGELY appreciated!
