I’m using VPN connection and remote desktop to login a server and trying to get data from one table.
I tried “Generate Scripts” but it’s too large and when I run it at local SQL server (2008), it shows “out of memory”. Then I tried to connect to their DB on local SQL Server Management Studio, but then failed because of permission issue. Also, it’s kind of impossible to backup the whole database because of its size.
Is there any other method to help me copy from one table to another server? Also, is it possible to back up only at table level?
The easiest way for you is:
1. create empty database on the source server
2. copy the table using Export data wizard
3. backup and transfer this database to the second server
Or you can try run Export/Import data wizard and set up source and destination servers, if they are available for you at the same time (if your network configuration permits).
