Do you have some specific problem in mind or is this just a general
enquiry? There are many, many solutions that exist to migrate data
between different data sources. I've included a few links below.
Whether you'll want any of the third party products depends on your
budget and how sophisticated your requirements are.

If you are using SQL Server then first take a look at either using a
linked server or DTS (SQL Server 2000) or Integration Services (SQL
Server 2005). Information on those features can be found in Books
Online.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
