Author Copying data and indexes
Jaime Lucci

2005-11-16, 9:23 am

Hi everyone!

How can I do to copy the data and the indexes from an existing table on a
database to a new table in another database?

I've tried with select * into base1.table1 from base2.table2, but it only
copy the data and not the indexes.

Can I do it by code? I'm trying to avoid the use of DTS.

Thanks.

You would have to precreate the table on the destination server/database
with the indexes in place and then do an insert select like this
insert into base1..table1
select * from base2..table2

Can I "read" by code the index of the table to preceate it in the
destination database?

sp_help tablename is good. You can use the results of this to build the
index.
