Populate database from dataset!

[invader7]

Hello, i want to clone a database table from one database to another...

i read successfully all contents of the original table to a dataset like this:

OdbcCommand cmd;
                DataSet ds;
                System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter da;
                string MyString;

                using (OdbcConnection cn = new OdbcConnection())
                {
                   
cn.ConnectionString = ("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ="file.mdb";");
                    ds = new DataSet();

                    MyString = "select * from Table";

                    da = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(MyString, cn.ConnectionString);
                    cmd = new OdbcCommand(MyString, cn);
                    da.Fill(ds, "Table");
  
                }

then i want to "transfer,clone,copy" the contents of the original table to the destination, can that be done?

If you have set appropriate table adapter properly, it should be sufficient to call Clone() on the DataTable (don't forget cast the result, because Clone() returns object), open connection to destination database and call Update() on cloned table.

i changed my code to this:

    OdbcCommand cmd;
                DataSet ds;
                System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter da;
                string MyString;
                DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                DataTable dtc = new DataTable();

using (OdbcConnection cn = new OdbcConnection())
                {

                    //Drop table

                    cn.ConnectionString = ("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" + desttextBox.Text + ";");
                    ds = new DataSet();

                    MyString = "delete from table;";

                    da = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(MyString, cn.ConnectionString);
                    cmd = new OdbcCommand(MyString, cn);
                    da.Fill(ds, "Table");
                  
                    //Drop table

                    //Read and fill

                    cn.ConnectionString = ("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" + sourcetextBox.Text + ";");
                    ds = new DataSet();

                    MyString = "select * from Table";

                    da = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(MyString, cn.ConnectionString);
                    cmd = new OdbcCommand(MyString, cn);
                    da.Fill(ds, "Table");

                    dt = ds.Tables["Table"];
                    dtc = dt.Copy();
                   

                    //fill

                    cn.ConnectionString = ("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" + desttextBox.Text + ";");
                    ds = new DataSet();

                    MyString = "select * from Table";

                    da = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(MyString, cn.ConnectionString);
                    cmd = new OdbcCommand(MyString, cn);
                    da.Fill(ds, "Table");

                    ds.Tables.Remove("Table");
                    ds.Tables.Add(dtc);
                    myTableAdapter.Update(myDataSet.Table);

   
                }

this doesn't work.. it only deletes all rows from destination table!

                    //fill

                    cn.ConnectionString = ("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" + desttextBox.Text + ";");
                    da = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(MyString, cn.ConnectionString);

                    myTableAdapter.Update(dtc);

i already tried this... i create my tableadapter by dragging datasource to my form. and if i try your update it gives me this error:

cannot convert from 'System.Data.DataTable' to 'ProjectName.DataSet1.myDataTable'

i know that in order to update a database from a dataset i need tableadapter.update but i don't know if i create it correctly, dragging it from datasource seems not to work very good
