Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to update data from one database to another automatically. Basically what I need to do is update our training database with our production database. However I need to do this on a daily basis would prefer to have it done automatically. The two databases are located on different servers as well.

Is this possible? I've been experimenting but don't want to dig in too much further and risk messing up the production database.

Thanks,

Richard

Sounds like replication is what you want.

EDIT:
well, maybe not. Perhaps an automated process that takes your daily production backups, copies them to your training environment and then restores them.

Log shipping is another possibility to consider.

you want it to happen at realtime or at frequent intervals? have a look at replication in MSDN
