I am trying to create a new table within my SQL SVR database [Medicaid_Retro] called [UNM_Claims_REFERRAL_1] based on SQL SVR table [UNM_Claims_REFERRAL] and joining to Oracle via linked server NMPSEDW. Using the code below, I get the following error: "Invalid object name 'Medicaid_Retro.dbo.UNM_Claims_REFERRAL_1"

What is the proper syntax??

INSERT INTO [Medicaid_Retro].[dbo].[UNM_Claims_REFERRAL_1]
SELECT * FROM [Medicaid_Retro].[dbo].[UNM_Claims_REFERRAL] A,
(SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(NMPSEDW,'SELECT CLM_SRVC_SRC_MBR_ID,
PROV_TAX_ID,CLM_SRVC_UMREF_ID,CLM_SRVC_PROC_CD,CLM_AUD_NBR,
CLM_AUD_LN_NBR
FROM PSDW.TB_PS_FCET_CLM_SRVC')) B
WHERE A.[Claim ID]=B.CLM_AUD_NBR
AND A.[Line_NO]=B.CLM_AUD_LN_NBR
 
Does the select query work if you remove the top line (INSERT INTO)?

Try...

Code:
SELECT * 
[!]INTO [Medicaid_Retro].[dbo].[UNM_Claims_REFERRAL_1][/!]
FROM [Medicaid_Retro].[dbo].[UNM_Claims_REFERRAL] A,
(SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(NMPSEDW,'SELECT CLM_SRVC_SRC_MBR_ID,
PROV_TAX_ID,CLM_SRVC_UMREF_ID,CLM_SRVC_PROC_CD,CLM_AUD_NBR,
CLM_AUD_LN_NBR
FROM PSDW.TB_PS_FCET_CLM_SRVC')) B
WHERE A.[Claim ID]=B.CLM_AUD_NBR
AND A.[Line_NO]=B.CLM_AUD_LN_NBR

If the table does not exist, "Select into" will create it. If the table already exists, then you need to use "Insert Into Select".

Make sense?

It works! Thanks so much..I knew the syntax was incorrect and couldn't figure it out. You are the best!
