I currently use the following to data warehouse a table everday: DROP TABLE mytable

  • 0

I currently use the following to data warehouse a table everday:

DROP TABLE mytable 

SELECT firstcolumn, secondcolumn INTO mytable
FROM OPENQUERY (mylinkedserver, 'SELECT firstcolumn, secondcolumn FROM linkedtable')

I would like to start using TRUNCATE going forward (to perserve system resources and indexes):

TRUNCATE TABLE mytable

INSERT INTO mytable (firstcolumn, secondcolumn)
?

How do I use OpenQuery with the INSERT INTO statement?

    I believe the syntax is:

    TRUNCATE TABLE mytable
    
    INSERT INTO mytable (firstcolumn, secondcolumn)
    SELECT firstcolumn, secondcolumn 
    FROM OPENQUERY (mylinkedserver, 'SELECT firstcolumn, secondcolumn FROM linkedtable')
