Solution 1

If they are both on the same machine then:

SQL

select *
into db2.dbo.table1
from db1.dbo.table1

This will create table1 if it does not already exist.

It will not set up the primary key, identity column, foreign keys or constraints. You will have to alter the table after the insert

Solution 2

You can make it by running SQL Server Import and Export Wizard .

You can export / import the whole DB as well as only some selected tables, take a look.

select *
into TargetDB.dbo.TargetTable
from SourceDB.dbo.SourceTable

Will create an new Table in TargetDB and copy the data from SourceTable.

If the TargetTable allready exists use:

insert into TargetDB.dbo.TargetTable (Column1,Column1,...)
select Column1,Column1,...
from SourceDB.dbo.SourceTable
