Can SQL Server or db2 do entire database exports like oracle (using exp command)?
I’ve searched the internets and found bcp for SQL Server. But it seems I would have to iterate over all the tables to get what I want.
For db2 it looks to be roughly the same. Is there something I’m missing? Anyone have any suggestions and/or any opinions? Thanks ahead of time.
This is for SQL SERVER
