Dear Pinal,
This is a nice article and thanks for it.
I have one question. The script generated by this only creates the empty tables & other structures. But the table data is not backed up.
Is there a way to generate this script including the data that was in the tables too? (much like a mySQL dump)?
TIA

Views can provide advantages over tables :
———————————————————
Views can represent a subset of the data contained in a table
Views can join and simplify multiple tables into a single virtual table
Views can act as aggregated tables, where the database engine aggregates data (sum, average etc) and presents the calculated results as part of the data
Views can hide the complexity of data; transparently partitioning the actual underlying table
Views take very little space to store; the database contains only the definition of a view, not a copy of all the data it presents
Depending on the SQL engine used, views can provide extra security
Views can limit the degree of exposure of a table or tables to the outer world

Hello Pinal,
Thank you for this great resource! I’ve got a SQL 2005 database on a Win2000 server that I need to upgrade. I’ve created a VM with Windows 2003 server and SQL 2005.
I’d like to copy the database from the original server to the VM (which is on a different computer).
I’ve generated your script that will copy the db, schema etc. I’m wondering if you would be able to help me figure out how to move the copy to another computer/server?
Thanks in advance.

Just run the script in another server
Thanks so much. I was looking for this.
Hello Pinal,
Data Synchronization In SQL Server database table using sql script or TSQL script or code.
I want to Synchronize my SQL Server database table at server end using client database table’s records.
Actually, I have to updated SQL Server database table data/records with the client database.
The client is sitting in the districts, who is entering the data/records collected from villages and block where there is no internate connection, so that data/records are entered offline at the client database these records must be updated and reflected at the SQL Server database at the end.
If this can be accomplish by using TSQL ,Stored Procedure.

TableDiff.exe (included in SQL Management Studio) will do the job for you.
Is a prompt command that is provided with the source parameters and the destination file where the script will be generated.
Google it and you will find use esamples.
