Sql-server – How to create a table in a database on a different server

This will require really having fun with escaping and re-escaping single quotes, but I think the technique you're after is:

DECLARE 
  @DB  NVARCHAR(255) = QUOTENAME(N'dbname'),
  @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX);

SET @SQL =  N'EXEC ' + @DB + '.sys.sp_executesql '
+ 'N''CREATE VIEW dbo.vWhatever
AS
  SELECT x = 1, y = ''''x'''', z = GETDATE();''';

EXEC sys.sp_executesql @SQL;

So you're kind of nesting the dynamic SQL; the inner one ensures that the SQL is executed at the target database, not locally.

Another way that I've picked up since this original question appeared:

DECLARE 
  @DB  NVARCHAR(255) = QUOTENAME('dbname'),
  @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX),
  @DBExec NVARCHAR(MAX);

SET @DBExec = @DB + N'.sys.sp_executesql';

SET @SQL = N'CREATE VIEW dbo.whatever
  AS
    SELECT x = 1, y = ''x'', z = GETDATE();';

EXEC @DBExec @SQL;

This is slightly tidier because you don't have to double-nest single quotes.

And here is a slightly tidier way to do it without cursors (well, without all the scaffolding of setting up a cursor). Note that the inner dynamic SQL will only be executed in databases where (a) a categories table exists (b) this view does not already exist and (c) it is not a system database (well, not one of the primary system databases, anyway).

DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'';

SELECT @SQL += NCHAR(13) + NCHAR(10)    
  + N'IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ' + QUOTENAME(name) 
  + '.sys.views WHERE name = ''vNonhiddenCategories'')
  AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ' + QUOTENAME(name)
  + '.sys.tables WHERE name = ''categories'')
  BEGIN
    EXEC ' + QUOTENAME(name) + '.sys.sp_executesql N''
    CREATE VIEW dbo.vNonhiddenCategories3
    AS
      SELECT x = 1, y = ''''x'''';''
  END'
  FROM sys.databases 
  WHERE database_id BETWEEN 5 AND 32766;

PRINT @sql;
-- EXEC sp_executesql @sql;

Of course "tidier" is in the eye of the beholder.

this can be done if you are using SQL Server Management Studio. The method is as follows:-

Goto the source schema on SQL Server

Right click > Export data

Select source as current schema

Select destination as "Oracle OLE provider"

Select properties, then add the service name into the first box, then username and password, be sure to click "remember password"

Enter query to get desired results to be migrated

Enter table name, then click the "Edit" button

Alter mappings, change nvarchars to varchar2, and INTEGER to NUMBER

Run

Repeat process for remaining tables, save as jobs if you need to do this again in the future
