Problem description

I have to transfer data from one database server to a SQL Server. I’m using SQLServerBulkCopy to do that: // connection1 is with the source system and // connection2 is with the destination SQL Server Statement statement = connnection1.createStatement(); `ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("select * from db.table");` SQLServerBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SQLServerBulkCopy(connection2); bulkCopy.setDestinationTableName("tableName"); bulkCopy.writeToServer(resultSet);
