Is this doable? if so how? cn this also bypasses firewalls.

I am new to sql dba tasks b/c I was involved in development so far in asp/vb.net.

thanks."

This isn't automated and nor should it be...

What I do for lookup data is either bcp the data out of the tables into files or I run sp_generate_inserts to generate the INSERT statements for me. sp_generate_inserts can be found at vyaskn.tripon.com.

I would not use replication for lookup data since you might not want the data transferred to the destination server for quite some time.

You should have a system test and release test system. These should be updated by scripts created by the developers and the same scripts used for the migration to production.

See http://www.nigelrivett.net/SQLServerReleaseControl.htm

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