Generate INSERT statements from a SQL Server Table

Question

I have a table of 3.3 million records and don\'t want to copy the entire thing from dev to prod (on a client controlled machine and can\'t get the linked server working correctl

Answer 1

insert into dev.data
select top 300 * from prod.data where ID > 9000;

or name your columns if you want to or have to (because of auto-increment columns)

insert into dev.data (col1, col2, col3)
select top 300 col1, col2, col3 from prod.data where ID > 9000;
