Select into allways 'on default'?

Hi lizzzard,

First u have to set the sp_dboption "select into" true in that database

sp_dboption dbname,"select into",true (syntax)
go

After that u have to run check point in that database

use user1
go

checkpoint
go


Now you can run the following query

Select * into database.dbo.tablename from tablename
go

Example

use user1(database name)
go

Select * into user2.dbo.employee from employee
go

I hope it will help you.

Thanx

Hi, I think you misunderstood my question. I know how to do a select into, but the problem is that the table always shows up on the default segment. Unless I make a clustered index,ofcourse because that would move the whole table to the segment I define the index on.
The problem here is, that the select into is in a temporary table. I don't want to make an index on it and for some other reasons I don't want it on 'default'.

Hi,Bret

The method I use now is indeed the select into on default and the creating the clustered index on the desired segment,thus moving the table. The sp_placeobject might be something to look at.
Thanks
