Copy Table to a new database
Posted by: chris meusel

I have a 1 gig+ tables that I need to clean of old data and move to an archive database. It is a production database so I can't simply just copy it wholesale, it locks everyone else trying to hit it. Is there a way I can copy with a select statement so I can do it 1000 or 10000 rows at a time?

ie (UPDATE dbArchive.tblInvoice (SELECT * from dbProduction.tblInvoice where ID > 1600000)

Thanks
-Chris
