Its taking too much time. Don't we have any better approach.
when you created the table on the destination db, did you make sure that you DID NOT copy the indexes as well?

I just created the Primary key index.. Not other indexes.
you're going to be better off if you don't have that...especially if the PK is not an identity column...
