Transfer data from one database to another database

Question

How to fetch the data from one database and insert in to another database table? I can\'t to do this. Please help me in transferring data from one to another.

Answer 1

if both databases are on same server and you want to transfer entire table (make copy of it) then use simple select into statement ...

select * into anotherDatabase..copyOfTable from oneDatabase..tableName

You can then write cursor top of sysobjects and copy entire set of tables that way.

If you want more complex data extraction & transformation, then use SSIS and build appropriate ETL in it.
