Hi,
We are using SQl Server Standard edition (2008 R2)
We'd like to know is there any way to copy table from one SQL server database to another database in different SQL Server ?

Please let us know the procedure around this.

Thanks !
Arvind.

Yes there are lots of methods that can do this. You might find the easiest way to do it is through the import/export wizard available in the right-click menus in SSMS.

multiple options

1. Use export/import wizard and do table copy to new database
2. Create a linked server connection between servers from targetdb to sourcedb and use query like


USE [TargetDB]
SELECT * INTO TargetTable FROM [SourceLinkedServer].SourceDB.dbo.Table

3. use OPENROWSET and no need of linked server setup


USE [TargetDB]
SELECT * INTO TargetTable FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCL1','Server=sourceserver;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
     'SELECT * FROM SourceTable') AS a;

Two ways
either from SQL Management studio wizard by expanding Server->Server Objects->Linked Server. right click and choose add linked server to launch window to add the details like name,type.provider etc

If you want to do it using script have a look at sp_addlinkedserver procedure
