| Hey,1. Use DTS to Import & Export data from one database to other (DTS wizard option will take care about append data/replcae existing data). This way is more easy in terms of Rich User interface and U can transfer the data between one database to other irrespective of Servers.2. Select into also we can use for data transfer. If 2 databases are same server you can use it. if the databases are in different server then you need LINKED SERVER CONNECTION/REMOTE SERVER Connection.Note: By Select INTO, every time we need to check if Table exists then DROP table and recreate it with data.With RegardsSreenivas Reddy B |
