Moving tables between servers

  •  

    How do I access a different server from SQL? Here's my command:

     

    insert into dbname.dbo.tablename

    select * from sourcedb.dbo.tablename

     

    so how do I make that select statement access a table on a

    different server?

     

     

  • check out "linked servers" in books online.

    If this is only a one-shot event, it is best to use DTS for this kind of stuff.

    You may want to read some more about these different ways of copy/replication. Each has its pros and cons .

  • I cant figure out how to do it with DTS. Actually its the DTS

    packages I'm trying to move, and it wont let me select the

    sysdtspackages table from the msdb database when I try to create

    a package to do it.

     

  • Have a look at http://www.sqldts.com

    I think there is a tool available for this.

  • To move DTS packages I use

    INSERT INTO msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages

    SELECT * FROM

    OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB', 'Data Source=SQL-Server;User ID=sa;Password=pwd').msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages

    It works fine from SQLAgent and keeps all servers synchronized.

    You might want to delete existing packages before inserting new ones.
