Hi, I'm trying to do a data migration and would like to transfer data from one database to another.

For example:

INSERT INTO database1.table1
(field1, field2, field3)
SELECT field1, field2, field3
FROM database2.table1

Is this possible?

yes if they are "linked" => if you can access the souce data from the target server (or vice verca).


INSERT INTO database1.dbo.table1 (field1, field2, field3)
SELECT field1, field2, field3 
FROM database2.dbo.table1
