Question

I am planning to schedule a job on one my database and which basically runs at 5:00 PM everyday.

Database 1 : TestOne TableName: MyTable

Database 2 : TestTwo TableName: MyTable

My schedule job resides in TestOne and Inserts into MyTable and the values has
to come from TestTwo.MyTable.

Is there any example that’s available that does something similar? Is this as simple as getting an user from TestOne.MyTable access rights on TestTwo.MyTable?

I appreciate your inputs.

Answer 1

Some simple scenarios (assuming – i can do the truncate):

truncate table TestOne.dbo.MyTable
insert TestOne.dbo.MyTable(fieldslist)
select fieldslist from TestTwo.dbo.MyTable

OR

using the merge (more like the incremental, but needs an unique key):

MERGE TestOne.dbo.MyTable T
USING (SELECT fieldslist from TestTwo.dbo.MyTable) S
ON T.UniqueKey = S.UniqueKey
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET
  field1=S.field1,
  ...
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN 
    insert (fieldslist)
    VALUES(fieldslist)
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE DELETE;
