BCP Command

Can anyone tell if it is possible to use bcp command to insert data directly from a [Server1].[Database1].[Query] to another [Server2].[Database2].[Table] directly ? I can only find references to Query to File and File to Query. Thanks

@wbeetge Why do you need bcp? It is trivial to insert records selected from the database table in one instance to the table in another instance via openrowset. Please clarify the reason. Thank you.

Just having a look at unanswered questions and trying to provide some answers: 1. As Oleg mentioned in his comment, OPENROWSET would be one solution. [MSDN Link to OPENROWSET ][1] 2. Alternatively, LINKEDSERVERS would be another option. They're good if your going to do it repeatedly. [MSDN link to LINKEDSERVERS][2] [1]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/openrowset-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017 [2]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/linked-servers/linked-servers-database-engine?view=sql-server-2017
