Hi. I'm trying to copy from one table to another across 2 different
servers with the following:
select *
into #Tmp_Hdr
from parsaleshdr
where businessday = '9/20/07'
select *
into [pdsqla01\pdsqla01].impact_exec.dbo.parsaleshdr
from #Tmp_Hdr
This gives me an error:
The object name 'pdsqla01\pdsqla01.impact_exec.dbo.' contains more
than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
Not really sure how to get around it. I was trying to use OpenQuery,
but that's really for selecting from, not into. How can I get around
this?
Thanks,
Jennifer

You need to create the table on the remote server in advance.
