So in SQL Server 2008 it is possible to script data from SQL Server Management Studio. Works great, love it etc.

I would like to make a job, that scripts everything in my database (tables, stored procedures etc) to one file and all data in some tables to another.

Is it possible - and what is the easiest way to do it?

The reason why I want this is so I can put my development databases under source control and keep an easy to review history of changes.

You can try this command line utility: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=73884
And use BCP to extract the data into files.

I don't know of any built-in command line utility in 2008 (there was one in v2000).

Also, there are some 3rd party tools that will let you script the objects (ApexSQL, etc).
