Copy table to a different database on a different SQL Server

Question

I would like to copy a table from one database to another. I know you can easily do the following if the databases are on the same SQL Server.

SELECT * INTO          


        

Answer 1

Yes. add a linked server entry, and use select into using the four part db object naming convention.

Example:

SELECT * INTO targetTable 
FROM [sourceserver].[sourcedatabase].[dbo].[sourceTable]
