Thread Copying records from and to different databases

"Al VAs"
Hi,

I am ascertaining the best way to perform upgrades where the client is setup
for Client/Server.  Since I cannot guarantee knowing where the directory
location of the data is, I am thinking maybe to copy the tables used for
updating to a temporary location and then copying records from this location
to the live client/server table.

So the question is, can I copy record from a non client-server table to a
client-server table (by the letter of the law, different databases)?  If not
any ideas on how to best achieve this taking into consideration the above
requirement?

V3.30

Thanks

Alex

You can do so, but it has to be via a record-by-record copy navigationally
between the two tables:

The built-in SELECT, COPY, etc. statements do not deal with copying tables
across different session types.
