Following quick tutorial demonstrates how to create T-SQL script to copy complete database schema and all of its objects such as Stored Procedure, Functions, Triggers, Tables, Views, Constraints etc. You can review your schema, backup for reference or use it to compare with previous backup.

I was instructed to do a database restore from backup and then remove the data, instead of scripting the entire database structure to create the new database. Can you explain what the difference could be? Thank you.

Pinal,
Can you send the script for automation as well? Thanks in advance.
My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .
net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because
of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been
using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
