Hi

It will depend on how different the structures are, and where the tables are
located!

Posting DDL and example data will help to answer your question see
http://www.aspfaq.com/etiquett**e.asp?id=5006. It is also useful to post
your current attempts at solving the problem.

If your table does not contain any data and there is a simple correlation
between columns then you can use the insert statement. See Books online for
more details on the statements available and their syntax.

INSERT INTO Table2 ( ColX, ColY, ColZ )
SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3
FROM Table1

If your tables are on different machines or if this is a regular task then
you may want to use DTS or possibly BCP.

Hi

You may be able to use the Import/Export Wizard which calls DTS to move the
objects and data, see
http://support.microsoft.com/default...-us;Q314546#11

Alternatively you can script the database9s) for an example see:
http://www.aspfaq.com/etiquette.asp?id=5006 and use BCP/Bulk Insert, even if
you are using DTS to transfer the data if may be worth creating the
structure of the new database first, possibly without any foreign keys and
then add them later.
