Earlier this week I wrote a blog about Find Column Used in Stored Procedure – Search Stored Procedure for Column Name. I received plenty of comments on the subject. One of the statements which I used in the story (Time: Any Day – usually right before developer wants to go home) was very much liked by many developers. I guess this is because we are all like the same. We often get more work, when we are ready to go home. After reading the blog post many readers and SQL Server Experts have posted an enhanced T-SQL script to find column used in a stored procedure.
The biggest request we keep on getting in SQL in Sixty Seconds is tricks with SQL Server Management Studio. It seems like SSMS is our favorite tool and we all want to share our neat tricks with everybody. Today I am going to share very popular and most requested SQL Server Tip. Sample data and test database is very common when working in a development environment. A developer often creates interesting samples as well challenging objects in their database. The architects work on databases and hand it over to developers, later developer hand it over to DBA. In simple words, in many cases the database move from one place to another place. It is not always possible to back up and restore databases. There are possibilities when only part of the database (with schema and data) has to be moved.
