Yo have to consider the following 1. You want to transfer the all column info 'as is' including Identity column. 2. You want to transfer the all column info Except Identity column. Including Identity: Use Db2 Go Set Identity_Insert Tbl2 on Go Insert Tbl2(column1,column2,...) Select column1,column2,... from Db1.dbo.Tbl1 Go Set Identity_Insert Tbl2 off Go Except Identity: Use Db2 Go Insert Tbl2(column2,column3,...) Select column2,column3,... from Db1.dbo.Tbl1 Go Note: Column1 is the Identity column enabled.

Hi

I think the Two databases are there in same Server Instances.

You can do this by "Three part naming convension"

If you have enabled IDENTITY on that tables then. Yo have to consider the following

1. You want to transfer the all column info 'as is' including Identity column.

2. You want to transfer the all column info Except Identity column.

Including Identity:

Use Db2

Go



Set Identity_Insert Tbl2 on

Go



Insert Tbl2(column1,column2,...)

Select column1,column2,... from Db1.dbo.Tbl1

Go



Set Identity_Insert Tbl2 off

Go

Except Identity:

Use Db2

Go



Insert Tbl2(column2,column3,...)

Select column2,column3,... from Db1.dbo.Tbl1

Go

Note: Column1 is the Identity column enabled.

Cheers

0	Very Good Asnwer from PandianS he Pointed out the most important in this exercise from Db1.dbo.Tbl1 the DB1 is the database and dbo is the user, when you are doing the cross database queries you need it.
