Moving records consists of transferring them from one table, the source, to another table, the target. Neither SQL nor Transact-SQL directly supports this operation, which happens to be extremely easy. You have many options. Probably the easiest way to do this consists of copying the records from the source to the target, then deleting the same records from the source. Here is an example:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

public class Exercise : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
    Button btnMoveRecords;
    Button btnSelectRecords;
    DataGridView dgvEmployees;
    DataGridView dgvContractors;

    public Exercise()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    void InitializeComponent()
    {
        btnMoveRecords = new Button();
        btnMoveRecords.AutoSize = true;
        btnMoveRecords.Text = "Move Records";
        btnMoveRecords.Location = new Point(12, 12);
        btnMoveRecords.Click += new EventHandler(btnMoveRecordsClick);

        dgvEmployees = new DataGridView();
        dgvEmployees.Size = new Size(360, 200);
        dgvEmployees.Location = new Point(12, 44);

        dgvContractors = new DataGridView();
        dgvContractors.Size = new Size(360, 100);
        dgvContractors.Location = new Point(12, 260);

        btnSelectRecords = new Button();
        btnSelectRecords.Text = "Show Employees";
        btnSelectRecords.AutoSize = true;
        btnSelectRecords.Location = new Point(110, 12);
        btnSelectRecords.Click += new EventHandler(btnSelectRecordsClick);

        Controls.Add(btnMoveRecords);
        Size = new Size(400, 415);
        Controls.Add(dgvEmployees);
        Controls.Add(dgvContractors);
        Text = "Exercise";
        Controls.Add(btnSelectRecords);
    }

    void btnMoveRecordsClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

                        "FROM Contractors " +
                        "WHERE Contractors.Salary >= 10.00; " +
                        "DELETE FROM Contractors " +
                        "WHERE Contractors.Salary >= 10.00;",
