I have a rather large (many gigabytes) table of data in SQL Server that I wish to move to a table in another database on the same server.
The tables are the same layout.
What would be the most effecient way of going about doing this?
This is a one off operation so no automation is required.
Many thanks.
If it is a one-off operation, why care about top efficiency so much?
or
…and let it run over night. I would dare to say that using SELECT/INSERT INTO on the same server is not far from the best efficiency you can get anyway.
