franky@.boucheros.comCan you give a short example of what your expected script would look like?|||CREATE table1...
CREATE table2...
...
CREATE view1...
CREATE view2...
...

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.procs1...
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.procs2...
...

INSERT INTO table1 ...
INSERT INTO table1 ...
INSERT INTO table1 ...
...
INSERT INTO table2 ...
INSERT INTO table2 ...
INSERT INTO table2...|||Unless you don't have much data or want to import into something like MySql i'm not sure why you would want to do this :confused:

You can use the script generator to make you DataBase Structure and then something like a DTS package to dump the data and read it back again ??|||It is possible to save script with data (using sysobjects, syscolumns,....) but what if some tables have identity or timestamp columns?
May be it is good idea to save data in script for particular tables - not for all tables.

Good luck.|||Hi,

Wingman is right.

1. You can Script the Structure of the table then do DTS.

2. Use DTS to transfer data and save the package for reuse. DTS is a more powerful tool ,very simple and interesting if you know it.
Instead of using the sysobjects and syscolumns and do research on and make it more complicated, you can design your own DTS package and eliminate the Identity or Timestamp columns if you dont need or you can even modify the data using ActiveXscripts in DTS.
Everything is possible using DTS. You can tranform the data completely as you desired.

For more information, Play with DTS using BOL ( For Beginners ) and you will start doing wonders.

Have fun :)
