Move a table from one database to another database SQL Server
If the databases are on same server then do it like this,
select * into DB_2.T1 from DB_1.[dbo].[T1]if you have databases on different servers than you have to create a linked server.
On second thought you can generate "create tables scripts" and run them on second database
In SQL Server Management Studio you have Import and Export Wizard :
- Right click on db name(
DB_2) - Tasks
- Import Data
- Choose data source (
DB_1) - Choose destination (
DB_2) - Choose
copy data from one ore more tables - Choose your table (
T1) - Finish
With help of my office friends , this is the solution I figured out.
In object Explorer , go to source database and select table to move.
Right click , Script Table As -> CREATE TO -> New Query Editor Window. This opens query window with the SQL queries specifying schema , indexes , constraints on the table.
You can change table name in CREATE TABLE section and make other changes...
Change database name in first line
USE <DATABASE>to Target database and execute the the query.
Thanks.
