insert into openquery(mysqlserver,’select * From tablename’) values (value1,value2….)

for your case it will be like:

insert into openquery(mysql_linked_server1,’select * From table1′) select * from openquery(mysql_linked_server2, ’select * from table2′)

Let us know if it works.

Thanks

I have recently setup a pair of linked MySQL servers, each on a different computer. Not being entirely familiar with MySQL, I noticed that you mentioned I cannot use 4part naming to access the tables. The problem I am having is that I need to run Insert into svr1.db1.schema1.tbl SELECT * from svr2.db1.schema1.tbl and I am not sure how to effect this. Would you be able to provide some assistance? I would really appreciate any suggestions to resolve this. As a side note, what I am attempting to do is create a stored procedure or some method to backup one MySQL database to another, and my knowledge of the MySQL interfaces is almost nonexistant.

Thanks,
Geoff Sutton
