Hi
I would like to know what is the best practice to copy/update a set of tables from one database to another.
We have a product testing Application that does its job however some of our engineers need to analysis data directly into the data itself (not offered by the application). Since upgrading the application the database has become more and more complex and thus the data that was freely available from views is suffering more and more from timeouts due to the amount of data now kept in the database.
What I intended doing was creating a number of select into queries and updates that ran periodically into a second static database thus allowing the anaylsis to run freely. Is this the best way? and if I needed to be updating these tables on a hourly/1/2 hourly basis would this be a good way of carrying this out?
