Question

I am using sql server 2005

I have a table [say tblHistory] and this table contains 100 rows.
I have created the same table at the server, but the table doesn’t have the data, I want data from tblHistory to convert into

INSERT INTO tblHistory ——

so that I could run the script on the server to fill the database.

Answer 1

you need to create a linked server between the two servers and then you do something like this

INSERT INTO tblHistory
select * from LinkedServerNAme.DatabaseName.SchemaName.tblHistory

To add a linked server read this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190479.aspx

BTW you can also use OPENROWSET, OPENDATASOURCE, SSIS or bcp out and bcp in
