q; loop for insert into

Hello,
I have 10 tables (T1Orj,T2Orj,â?¦T10Orj) and I need to find modified rows from
each table and insert them to T1Bak, T2Bak, â?¦T10Bak. Although original and
bak tables have the common fields , the original tables have more fields than
bak tables, and T1Orj, T2Orj, â?¦ T10Orj tables have different table structures.
I can go head and write a insert into query for each table, I am just
wondering Is there any way I can do this in a loop for all tables?"JIM.H." <JIMH@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message

Do you mean the Orj tables all have the same columns? Why? It would be a lot
simpler to combine them into one. Duplicating tables is almost always a
mistake.
If they are all different then I don't understand how you expect a loop
would help you.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.

--|||Thanks for the reply, some type of loop might help me if I can get column
names and table names created dynamically from a table. Then I will perform
only one insert in my code.
