I have two Interbase databases - same structure. I want to append records from a table in one database into the other. I write - insert into mytable select * from :otherdb:mytable but the SQL will not run as it doesn't seem to allow the alias definition in the prefix. I've tried batch moves - they don't work either. How can I append records across Interbase databases?
