-- Description: Mirror table from Quick Base to SQL Server
-- =============================================
-- This stored procedure depends on the existence of a linked server called
-- Quick Base. To create this linked server run the following SQL:
--
-- EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 
-- @server = 'QuickBase', 
-- @provider = 'MSDASQL',
-- @srvproduct = 'QuNect',
-- @provstr = 'DRIVER={QuNect ODBC for QuickBase};UID=YourQuickBaseEmailOrScreenName;PWD=YourPassword' 
-- GO
-- After you have your linked server in place you're ready to run the stored 
-- procedure below. 

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[mirrorQuickBaseTable]

	IF @doesExist > 0 
	BEGIN
		EXEC('DROP TABLE "'+@dbid+'"')
	END
	BEGIN TRY
		EXEC('SELECT * INTO "'+@dbid+'" FROM OPENQUERY(QUICKBASE, ''select * from "'+@dbid+'"'')')
	END TRY
	BEGIN CATCH
		PRINT 'Could not mirror table ' + @dbid + ' ' + ERROR_MESSAGE()
