Here is what I would do: INSERT INTO server.database.owner.tablename (column1, column2, ...) SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM server.database2.owner.tablename The trick is to set up a single user id on the server that can access both databases. The syntax fully qualifies both the source and destination. You can move data (and even join tables) across databases on the same server. You may even be able to join data across servers, but I've never done that. I have joined and moved tables from different databases on the same server.

The table structure exists, it's just empty. I was thinking of doing some SQL like: INSERT INTO carrierLanesCopy SELECT carrierLanes.* FROM carrierLanes; But then I realized there is no reference to DS in the query itself. Stupid. I don't want to have to loop over each line of the table, reading and writing. There has to be a better way, right? seth ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor - Figleaf Software <http://www.figleaf.com/> To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink <http://www.fusionlink.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor - Figleaf Software <http://www.figleaf.com/> To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink <http://www.fusionlink.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor FigLeaf Software - http://www.figleaf.com To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
