I have a SQL Server 2008 db. It contains some great test data…a proposal that has a lot of child records. I want to script this Proposal so as not to re-enter the data for each new environment. Is there a way to script the data in the proposal as well as all the dependent tables. I can run a query to get the data but what I really need is a set of SQL Insert Statements to insert the data into the new environments. At least that’s what I think I need. Any ideas?
Several options for this exist.
