I have a issue where 2 databases are in different servers :- server1 and server2

server1
database 1
table- tbl_emp_accounts (request_id,emp_id,emp_name)
tbl_emp_charges (charge_id,request_id,late_charge,suspense)
server2
database2
table-tbl_emp_details(reff_id,emp_id,emp_name)
tbl_emp_charges (reff_id,late_charge,suspense)


Everey day a dts should run in the evening at 9:00 in the night where
it gets the new emp_id's and emp_name from server1 (tbl_emp_accounts)
to server2(tbl_emp_details).
It should also get the corresponding late charges and suspense also.

How should I start with...Should I use DTS Lookup or pump the data into server2 one table and use stored procedure to insert it.

Please help me with that..The recommendation inn the project is to direct dump using necessary checks

PLease somebody help me with this

Can you use a linked server? I ask because this is trivial with a linked server since all of your data is in SQL Server already.

If you can't, then you should import all of the data that you need on server1 into server2. Put the data in staging tables which are exact duplicates of the structure from server1. Then use an execute SQL task to run T-SQL that will move the data where you want it on server2.

Doing this through VBScript is going to be slow, but yes it can be done. It is not recommended though. I can't help you with the details of the VBScript as that isn't my area of expertise. Most everyone here would be able to help you out with the staging table version though, especially since it's the preferred method.
