Copying data from one database to another

Using SSIS is a good way of bulk copying data from one database to another.

You can use a wizard within SQL Server Management Studio to create the SSIS package. Right click on the server and click Tasks > Export Data. At the end you have the option to create an SSIS package and either save it directly into a SSIS server or as a file.

There are many ways to run the SSIS package. For developers it is probably simpler to create a SSIS project and add the created package into it. You can then run the package from within Visual Studio.
