I have a requirement which is to create a application which is able to
create databases based on another database. i need to copy only the
table structures no need to copy the data.

At present im just creating SQL command objects with the comment text
containing the the create table statements (which i had to hard code
into the code) and use the ExecuteNonQuery() and execute.
This becomes very painful when i do sme structure modification to the
database (base database) as now i have to edit the database creation
part.

I found one method of doing it using 'SQL Server Management Objects'
which generate the create table statements. but im not sure whether i
can use it becos im running the application in machine which do not
have a sql server installed (they connect to the sql server through
LAN). So i cannot add the reference as most of the machines will be
having only the .Net framework installed.
if anyones interested refer below link for more details on this
method.
