    Hi All,

    I would like to connect to one SQL instance from the current SQL instance that I am working on now. The reason is , I want to load data from one SQL Server Instance to another SQL Server Instance using SQL statements like

    insert into table1

    select * from table2

    --table1 resides on SQLInstance1

    --table2 resides on SQLInstance2

    Both instances are SQL Server 2000 instances

    I want to execute this operation via the T-SQL code.

    What is the T-SQL command to execute this?

    Thanks in Advance

    it's fairly easy; you just need to add a linked server, and then select using 4 part naming conventions:

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'ANOTHERSERVER\INSTANCENAME', @srvproduct=N'SQL Server'

    EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = N'ANOTHERSERVER\INSTANCENAME', @locallogin = NULL , @useself = N'True'

    insert into table1

    select X.*

    from [ANOTHERSERVER\INSTANCENAME].Databasename.dbo.table2 X
