how to copy data rows from one database to another
Posted on 2011-03-08
Hi !
I have a Database Db1 in SQL Server 2005. I am creating a new Database Db2 on the same machine in same SQL Server instance. I have 5 columns and more than 100 rows in table1 of Db1 and I want to copy 3 columns and all rows of Table1 and put it in Table2, Db2.
What could be the easiest way to do that ? Thanks.

Write the Query:
if table not exists in DB2:
Select Column1,Column2, Column3 into db2.tablename from db1.tablename
if Table Exists in DB2:
Insert into db2.tablename Select column1, Column2,column3 from db1.tablename
if table not exists in DB2:
Select Column1,Column2, Column3 into db2.tablename from db1.tablename
if Table Exists in DB2:
Insert into db2.tablename Select column1, Column2,column3 from db1.tablename
I'm no sql expert but i believe this is one way to do it:
If Db2 and table 2 is an empty new table, you can just copy entire table/db and simply delete the coums you don`t want via sql server management studio.

Agree with agarwalrahul. Altough you should use the tre part syntax.
db.tablename will not work.
db.dbo.tablename or db..tablename works better.
Example:
db.tablename will not work.
db.dbo.tablename or db..tablename works better.
Example:
INSERT INTO desDb..destTable (ID, Text, Comment)
SELECT ID, Text, Comment FROM sorceDb..sourceTable
