hello every body,
I am tryin to develop import export utility like that is provided with SQL Server 2000,it would be useful when there will only MSDE is installed.
I cant use SQLDMO`s Back up and Restore functionality as it is for local Instances. I tryin to use link server way but struggling use with all databases.
I am not able to import data from database to given database.

What r other possible ways of doing the above?


regards
tak

bcp is a good option. It's low-level, easy to use, and supported by every currently available version of MS SQL Server and MSDE. David has a nice GUI app for it here:

You can also use the DTS COM library to do all the things that DTS provides, however I don't think the DTS library comes with MSDE, and I'm not 100% sure whether you can redistribute it.
