Moving the FACT table records in Microsoft SQL Server databases

Before you perform this task, make sure you have full access to the source and the destination databases (you need the database admin privileges).

  1. Connect to the source database.
  2. Move data.
    • If a table does not exist, execute the following script:

      SELECT * INTO <TARGET_DATABASE>.<TARGET_SCHEMA>.PR_DATA_IH_FACT FROM <SOURCE_DATABASE>.<SOURCE_SCHEMA>.PR_DATA_IH_FACT
    • If a table exists with the exact same columns:

      1. Make sure there are no primary key (PK) constraints on the PXFACTID column in the destination database and do not move any constraints.
      2. Execute the following script:

        INSERT INTO <TARGET_DATABASE>.<TARGET_SCHEMA>.PR_DATA_IH_FACT (column1 [, column2 ...]) SELECT column1 [, column2 ...] FROM <SOURCE_DATABASE>.<SOURCE_SCHEMA>.PR_DATA_IH_FACT
