I am not that knowledgeable in SQL SERVER. Will become more so in the next few months but need some help now. Thanks in advance for any help. We have a large database in ORACLE. From this is generated a monthly summary report that does contain calculated fields. They have now decided they want to create a table on an MS SQL SERVER database that contains/matches the data in this report. One person wants to have a special view created on the Oracle DB for each month so that they can use an MS SQL Server WIZARD to extract this data to Sql server. The last thing I want is to have to use a WIZARD every month or have one non-IT person responsible to run this wizard every month. I prefer to have things like this in a PRODUCTION ROUTINE type mode. Either a proc or sql query/make table query that can be scheduled to run. One person says they can't run a query that has calculated fields to make a table in SQL server. I know in ORACLE I can make a table using query and subqueries containing pretty much any type field including calculated fields. Can't this also be done from a SQL SERVER database. Granted the original data is located in another database. Can you send me an example on how to set this up or where to look.
