how to get list of tables affected after one transaction occured in the DB?
Hello Pinal,
I need to copy data from one DB to another DB on same server and that too on daily basis so i am thinking of creating a scheduled job which will generate a script for entire schema of DB1 and then will execute it for DB2.
so could you please share script which will automatically generate script for entire schema of a particular database(the one you mentioned at top of this thread).
Why dont you use backup/restore technique to make this process easy?
