Is this a one time or daily.

If daily think about replication.

Can the two systems talk to each other? If you must export to a table one option would be .CSV which would not loose the data like Excel will.

it is a one time deal only.

And the two systems don't talk to each other.

Thanks!!

Why not use the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard[^]?

The environments don't talk to each other - the servers are physically located in different states.

And if i export to excel, I am worried about losing some of the data, as I have specified above.

Thanks.

Which is why I suggested the Export/Import Wizard.

Why do you want to use Excel? And if you are storing dates and times in your database as strings you are heasding for trouble.

What would be the best way to copy over the table?

Create a backup of the database on server A.

Restore the backup on server B under a new name. Do a "SELECT INTO" from the new database into the target-table.

You will be surprised at to how many restrictions smaller size companies have Smile | :)

The database size is huge, and no FTP services set up. Not allowed. If I try to copy the file from production server, with a simple copy and paste onto my server, it takes for ever and sometimes just disconnects. And to top this, we cannot do many things on the production server, since they don't want to slow down the website it feeds to Frown | :(

How about reversing the process first? On the source server, create a new empty database and use SELECT INTO to copy just the table(s) you want. Back up the (much smaller) database, copy the backup to the destination server, restore, and SELECT INTO the destination table.

If the restriction makes the request technically impossible, it's usually the restriction that's changed - not the request.

Then why are they allowing copy/paste? One will "have to" write files on the server if the server is to be updated Smile | :)

Save the .mdf and .ldf from the origin, and then ATTACH them to the target. No connections. No interface required. Other than the ATTACH script. See BOL for ATTACH details. While there, see other methods.

Here is a sample. have done this using SQL Server but it shouldn't be hard to move it too one of the other databases

SQL

create table #tableOne
(
  id int,
  name varchar(50),
  email varchar(100)
  )

create table #tableNames
(
  id int,
  name varchar(50)
  )

insert into #tableOne values (1, 'simon','simon@email.com')
insert into #tableOne values (2, 'someone','someone@email.com')

insert into #tableNames values (3, 'fred')


insert into #tableOne 
select id, name,''
from #tablenames


select *
from #tableOne 


drop table #tableNames 
drop table #tableOne

Are they any non null-able columns in table b ?

IF they are non null-able columns then follow below code

SQL

INSERT INTO b(<<Column_Names>>)
SELECT <<Column_Names>> from a [where <<Condition(if any)>>]

Ask the vendor; the people that supply the "fuzzy object oriented database" software should know how to install it.

Ah..

Object-orientend means that you model the world according to objects (containing other objects) and their relations; relational means that you model the world into lists, with a relational to other lists. Fuzzy is something that is used more in logic than in storing data.

Data shouldn't be "fuzzy". Your client is either male or female, the data we store are facts. Imagine one of those facts becoming fuzzy.

My apologies for being rude; you seemed stubborn, but then again, you'll need something that convinces your collage. Feel free to ask more details if he keeps refusing the answer.
