| I put together the following sql below for copying from one SQL database to another the databases are on different SQL servers there fore I have added the SQL server names to the database. The other point that I had to make sure of was that the only the records having the current date from the first database are selected for the insert to the second database. Just wanting to make sure I have done this correctly. Would appreciate a look from anyone familar with this kind of SQL.INSERT INTO [NAQC00LYO001\Ameri].[Hits_Backup].[Alarms_Backup_01].[dbo].[ALARMS_LY-197-03]SELECT *FROM [LY-197-03/ME].[IME].[ALARMS_01]WHERE [ALM_DATEIN]= CONVERT(varchar(10), GetDate(), 101)The data has a format in database of mm-yy-yyyy that is why I choose the 101 for the GetDate format.Thanks LittleOne |

| Looks ok but why are you storing the date as a character? Are you sure it's not a datetime and that's a converted format for display?I take it the date doesn't contain a time and you're sure there aren't already some rows with that date transferred.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

is [ALM_DATEIN] a datetime field? if yes, i think you can do like this rather than converting to varchar[ALM_DATEIN] > DATEADD(dd,DATEDIFF(dd,0, GetDate()), 0)AND [ALM_DATEIN] < DATEADD(dd,DATEDIFF(dd,0, GetDate())+1, 0) |
