Pipo:

There are many ways to do this, do you want to use ADO.NET (which would be
quite slow and inefficient) or are you open to other technologies?  You can
do a backup and restore for one thing, or you could write an SSIS package
(DTS if you only have 2000), or use BCP.

Can you tell me a little more about your goals and perhaps I can be of more
help?

Thanks,

Bill

ADO.NET can do it using the SqlBulkCopy class.
