Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Copy a File or Folder in SharePoint Document Library

This example shows how to copy a file or folder to a different location in SharePoint Document Library (In same Drive or different SharePoint Document Library). It also shows how to use Placeholder Functions to name file daynamically. For example to add timestamp it uses <<yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss-fff,FUN_NOW>>

SELECT * FROM copy_item
