Hi
I have some questions:

(1) I have developed database. Is it possible to create another copy of this database, with all the tables and data in it.

(2) If I have a database on my local machine, how I can upload it onto a remote machine, with all the tables structures.

kind regards

Hi!

(1) The easiest way would probably be to backup the database and restore it under a different name. Lookup BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE DATABASE in Books Online.

(2) If you want only the structure you can script your database using Enterprise Manager ("Generate SQL Script" somewhere under the right-click menu on the database). If you want everything, you can use the method mentioned above.

Regards,
Andraax

thanks for the answer.

I have used Generate SQL Script. But now, I am unsure how to run this script in MSSQL to create the new table structure.

copy the script into a QA session, select the appropriate database to target against and then run it.
