Generate SQL Script with Data - SQL Server

Finally I found a solution to a major problem that almost every developer face at least once in his programming career. This problem is of remote deployment, where you have to send data through a script. It is a real headache to write hundreds of insert queries. Well, the life saver is here...

The solution is "DATABASE PUBLISHING WIZARD"

You can download it from http://www.codeplex.com/sqlhost/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Database%20Publishing%20Wizard

 

Simply install this file and it will appear in your start menu. Click it, run the GUI wizard, and follow the steps.

 

If you want to do this by command line, or want to know more about this tool, its readme file can help. I am pasting it here for your reference.

=======================================
What is the Database Publishing Wizard?
=======================================

The Database Publishing Wizard enables the deployment of SQL Server databases
(both schema and data) into a shared hosting environment.  The tool supports
both SQL Server 2005 and 2000 and does not require that source and target
servers are the same version.

The tool provides two modes of deployment:

  1) It generates a single SQL script file which can be used to recreate
  a database when the only connectivity to a server is through a
  web-based control panel with a script execution window.

  2) It connects to a web service provided by your hoster and directly
  creates objects on a specified hosted database

The tool may also be used by hosters to script out databases for backup or
transfer purposes.

=====
Usage
=====

The Database Publishing Wizard provide both a graphical and a command-line
interface.  To use the graphical interface, simply execute "sqlpubwiz.exe"
without any arguments.

To retrieve details on the arguments supported by the command-line
interface, execute the following command:

  sqlpubwiz help

The tool also integrates directly into Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
Edition and all non-Express SKUs of Visual Studio.  Right click on any
SQL Server database connecton and select "Publish to provider..." to launch
the wizard.

Simple Command Line Scripting Examples
======================================

The following command will script the FooDB database existing on the local
machine and default instance using the Windows credentials of the executing
user to C:\FooDB.sql:

  sqlpubwiz script -d FooDB C:\FooDB.sql

The following command will script the FooDB database from the default
instance on a machine named MYSERVER using SQL Server authentication with
the username "Alice" and the password "7h92-v6k3" to the file C:\FooDB.sql:

  sqlpubwiz script -d FooDB -S MYSERVER -U Alice -P 7h92-v6k3 C:\FooDB.sql
