Solution 2

SQL

insert into TestDestination.dbo.Employee (Column1, Column2, ...)
select  (Column1, Column2, ...) from TestSource.dbo.Employee

This will create a new table in TestDestination database

SQL

select  (Column1, Column2, ...) into Employee  from TestSource.dbo.Employee

select * from will work fine only if all the columns are to be inserted
if you do have any identity column then you will have to specify all the columns except the identity column as identity column will be auto filled.

if there is no identity column in destination table then select * from will work.
