SQL Azure - copy table between databases

Question

I am trying to run following SQL:

INSERT INTO Suppliers ( [SupplierID], [CompanyName]) 
Select  [SupplierID], [CompanyName] From [AlexDB]..Suppliers
<         


        

Answer 1

Use the following steps, there is no straight forward way to do so. But by some trick we can.

Step1 : Create another one table with the same structure of Suppliers table inside [AlexDB], Say it as SuppliersBackup

Step2 : Create table with the same structure of Suppliers table inside DesiredDB

Step3 : Enable Data Sync Between AlexDB..Suppliers and DesiredDB..Suppliers

Step4 : Truncate data from AlexDB..Suppliers

Step5 : Copy data from AlexDB..SuppliersBackup to AlexDB..Suppliers

Step6 : Now run the sync

Data Copied to DesiredDB.
