Обсуждение: [INTERFACES] Data Migration

Howdy,

This sounds simple yet i haven't found a way to do this except thru perl
scripts....

I have two databases, crossover and crbak

crossover is the production database and crbak is the development database.

I have unique tables in crossover i want to migrate over to crbak. Can this
be done thru SQL?

something like

Insert in crbak.function

select * from crossover.function;

I/m not sure of the syntax here....

Thanks,

-Rob

I would find this kind of extension extremely useful!  Databases proliferate
here at an unbelievable rate; and then, 3 months later, someone needs to "join
across the DBs". To do this across DBMS, as suggested below, sounds difficult,
but then, I'm not writing the code...
