I have 2 SQL servers hosting different data for different software programs.
I'm trying to write a query that will extract the data from 1 SQL server/database, then add it to a another SQL server/database/table. Is this possible to do? Error messages are "Database 'tomsqlvision' does not exist. I'm connected (logged in) to both of them in MSSMS. I'm new to SQL and just learning it so any help is appreciated. Thanks

What I have tried:

SELECT R.REM_PID AS [PID],
R.REM_PIN AS [GIS ID],
R.REM_OWN_NAME AS [Owner Name],
O.ROW_PID AS [PID1],
O.MAD_MAIL_ADDR1 AS [Street],
O.MAD_MAIL_CITY AS [City],
O.MAD_MAIL_STATE AS [State]
FROM [tomsqlvision]VISION.dbo.REAL_PROP.REALMAST R
INNER JOIN [tomsqlvision]VISION.dbo.REAL_PROP.VW_RPT_OWNERMAILADDRESSDETAILSVIEW O
ON R.REM_PID = O.ROW_PID

NB: dbo.REAL_PROP.REALMAST and dbo.REAL_PROP.VW_RPT_OWNERMAILADDRESSDETAILSVIEW are not valid table/view names.

If you've really put a . in the middle of the object names, then you need to quote the names properly: dbo.[REAL_PROP.REALMAST] and dbo.[REAL_PROP.VW_RPT_OWNERMAILADDRESSDETAILSVIEW]

You can learn linked server here

Create one linked server named tomsqlvision,
and use it something like this

select * FROM [tomsqlvision].VISION.dbo.REAL_PROP.REALMAST
