RE: Copying specific company data to a new database...
This tool is awesome, but keep in mind that it will create a sql script that might take a long time to run for a large database. Sometimes it's better to do a backup/restore and then delete the extra tables/data.

Doug, Here is a little something that I found. http://www.sharewareconnection.com/export-schema-to-sql-for-sql- server.htm I can copy the entire database w/no problem.

Copying specific company data to a new database...
I have a MSSQL database w/a lot of tables. I've got to copy all of a company's data from one database into a brand new database. The database should have all its foreign keys/primary key relationships defined (with one exception.) I can write scripts by hand, but that will take a while. There's a lot of work involved (disabling primary keys, reseeding indexes, etc.) Does anyone know of any good tools that will allow me to migrate the data to a new database?

If you are really just copying the whole database (not just the schema) and then making a couple of changes, you might find it easiest to just restore a database backup as the new database and then make your changes. ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267930 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: Copying specific company data to a new database...
I've got a script (used as a custom tag) that is built for SQL Server, that will do a cascading database delete, calling itself as often as necessary, based on the original record you want to delete. It requires that the DB tables be properly set up with foreign keys etc. The script digs around and figures out what records are dependent on each other, and basically deletes from the bottom up, finally deleting the initial record, the info for which was passed into the custom tag call to start with. If you're interested, I can email you the script. Dunno what DB server you're on though, so it may well be semi-useless to you. --Scott ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 MX7 integration create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:268026 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
