Hi All -

I'm trying to use the "import data" option in Management Studio (sql server 2005) to get data from one server to another. It works for smaller tables, but on one of my larger tables it fills tempdb (I am not loading to tempdb!). Any idea why it would be using tempdb, and how I can get it to NOT use tempdb? At this point I think I'm going to just use bcp out/ bcp in to get the data over, but I'm sure that's not the fastest way...

Thanks in advance

Did you do mappings of tables correctly b/w source & destination server?

It shouldn't fill tempdb.How big(size) is your table?
