Replication isn't something I have to deal with very often, so excuse me if this is a simple question.

I need to create an exact copy of my database. All of the stored procedures, tables, relationships, and all. I do not want the data to be carried over to the copy though. Basically everything should be the same except the tables should all be empty.

Does SQL Server 2000 offer an easy way to do this?

Thanks-

Nick

You can backup and restore the database then truncate all the tables or script all the objects and run the script or use the import/export wizard to transfer objects without data

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
