asked on I need to SELECT * INTO from one database to another
I use C#, Access and System.Data.OleDb. And I would like to use SELECT * INTO that copies from one database to another.
How do I do that exactly? I can do it easily in the same database. But how, using SQL, do I preface the target table name with the database name, and path?
Thanks,

you can do it like this..
INSERT INTO DB1.dbo.Test
SELECT * FROM [DB2].[dbo].[Test]
INSERT INTO DB1.dbo.Test
SELECT * FROM [DB2].[dbo].[Test]
use this

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.oledb.oledbcommand.executenonquery(VS.80).aspx
Private Sub CreateOleDbCommand( _
ByVal queryString As String, ByVal connectionString As String)
Using connection As New OleDbConnection(connectionString)
connection.Open()
Dim command As New OleDbCommand(queryString, connection)
command.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
End Sub
CreateOleDbCommand("INSERT INTO DB1.dbo.Test SELECT * FROM DB2.dbo.Test", myConnectionString)
or
CreateOleDbCommand("select * into [database1].[dbo].[table1] from [database2].[dbo].[table2]", myConnectionString)

I do not get how to connect "DB1" or "Database1" with
c:\tmp\MyDatabase1.mdb
Please give me an example.
And I use C#.
c:\tmp\MyDatabase1.mdb
Please give me an example.
And I use C#.
try this
INSERT INTO DB1.dbo.Test SELECT * FROM DB2.dbo.Test in 'c:\tmp\MyDatabase1.mdb'
INSERT INTO DB1.dbo.Test SELECT * FROM DB2.dbo.Test in 'c:\tmp\MyDatabase1.mdb'

true. Good idea.

I think I was overzealous. I have a password on the main database, where I would need to link into, from the database with no pasword. It was too early to close the question. Sorry about that.
select *
into [database1].[dbo].[table1]
from [database2].[dbo].[table2]
