Question

i have generated the script and created the schema in my computer. now how can i get the tables data? i dont have enough access in the remote database to copy it.
Can it be done using sql server?

Answer 1

If you have your tables and everything setup, you can do a number of things:

• create some SQL scripts with INSERT statements
• create an app that uses something like SqlBulkCopy to insert data
• use SQL Server Integration Services to import data
• plenty of other ways…..

You need to ask a bit more focused – this question cannot really be answered…..

Update:
For option #1, you need to do these steps:

• somehow create your INSERT scripts from your local database – you can do this manually, or use some of the available tools (SQL Data Dumper, Table Scripter, or use the built-in functionality of SQL Server Mgmt Studio) out there
• transfer those *.sql script files to your hoster (via FTP, via a web portal upload – whatever)
• execute those *.sql scripts on your remote hosting environment – either you have access to some form of a SQL Server management tool (either Mgmt Studio or sqlcmd on the command line), or your hoster provides some form of a web-based tool to load and execute those scripts (which depends on your hoster and varies quite a bit between hosters)
