When I tried creating a schema for one of my databases, I got the below in the command prompt. Can anyone tell me why, Is there any limitation in the database size or number of objects while generating a schema script this way?

SqlPubWiz Command Line: Error: Operation is not valid du e to the current state of the object

Thanks,
Pradhan

create procedure cyclic_order(@n int)
as
declare @i int
declare @count int
set @count = 0
BEGIN
while (@count < @n)
begin
set @i = 0
while (@i < 10)
begin
print @i
set @i = @i + 1
end
set @count = @count + 1
end
END

Having the same issue reported by Jim on 9/23/11. The only solution that comes to mind is to script out the tables, views etc seperately and then run the script for views after the tables script etc.

I’m having a problem with the SqlPubWiz scripting the create views before the create tables which those views reference. Obviously this doesn’t work since those tables are not found until later. I’ve seen other people have problems with this but have yet to find a solution other than manually rearranging the output file.

Does anybody have a solution to this problem? Does anybody know WHY on earth it would create the views before the tables? I can see NO reason to create the views first and every reason to create them last.

I want to deploy the Database changes around in 100 production databases. It is not possible to compare and deploy. Because all databases are not upto date as per the program. So I want deploy the stored procedures and views in the following way.

if the view/sp exists – Alter the that otherwise create that. I searched for a tool which generate alter & create based on if exist condition. I could not find one. please help me if anybody come to know about such tool.

If you use version 2008, there is an option. Otherwise you need to use import/export wizard to export data

I did not get the exact answer in the sql authority articles. My staight question is, can we generate the script with data of table in SQL server 2005. I read most of the articles in SQL athority but every article is describing about the SQL 2008.

I tried to generate the script in 2005 but I am unable to see the script data in 2005. I am not sure whether this is available in 2005 or not? Could you please clarify my doubt.

Hello Judas,

Please check the article:
http://mssqlonline.blogspot.com/2009/07/sql-server-2008-copy-database-with-data.html

If you not want to include data in scrip the set the “Script Data” option to Flase.

Why does everything have to be so difficult in SQL Server? I want to move a large DB from one server to another. In MySQL, I script it out, download the script, upload the script to the new place, and then type in ten or twenty characters to install it EXACTLY as it was. In SQL Server, on the other hand, all the wizards destroy the constraints and relations and there is no easy way to script the new database in (in most cases hosts prevent you from installing a .BAK file). I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: migrating MySQL DBs is like shipping a boat full of containers from china to los angeles. Migrating a MS SQL database is like dealing with refugees fleeing a war zone. Can someone please write a script that automates the hell i am now going through? Parts of that script exists, but there is still no end-to-end solution that works with large databases! Come on, people, it’s 2010. I guess that’s why all the DB work that matters is happening on MySQL!

Thank you, this helped a lot when I used it to backup a database from a machine that I had no permissions to do a backup “the regular ways”.
