| Lucia writes "I need to access from MSSQL to a Sybase database. I have used openquery in order to perform a select but I cannot find any example of how to use openquery as the target of an INSERT. The manual says you can do it but does not explain how. Basically I need to select from a couple of tables in my MSSQL database and insert it into a simple table in my Sybase database. I have defined the linked server and can connect to the database but do not know how to write the INSERT command." |

| INSERTOPENQUERY(TEST,'select log_text,log_date from bcaidba.dbo.xml_cat_log')SELECT 'This is a test insert',getdate()In the OPENQUERY statement you need to write a SELECT statement naming the columns in the table you want to insert into (in my example these are log_text and log_date) and then use a normal select statement to select the rows from your tables as per usual.Basicaly the select in the OPENQUERY takes the place of the INSERT statements target column listHTHJasper Smith |
