Question

i have 2 datbases A and B with tables AC and BD.table AC has a column ACcol and BD table has a column BDcol.

i want to move all the records in ACcol to BDcol with ACcol=’admin’.

can anyone help me in doing this?

Answer 1

Assuming you have an account which has access to both databases, and the tables have the same schema, try the following :-

INSERT INTO B.dbo.BD 
SELECT * FROM A.dbo.AB a WHERE A.dbo.AB.col = 'admin'

e.g.

INSERT INTO B.dbo.BD ( col1, col2, col3 )
SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM A.dbo.AB a WHERE A.dbo.AB.col = 'admin'

The key is to properly qualify the databases you are using.
