I have to copy a db from a remote server to my local dev machine. What is the best way to do it.

Last night I made a script for the remote db using xSQL Object and ran it on the local server. the script gave a bunch of errors. Below is the select @@version output for the 2 servers. is there a reason the script is not working

The remote server is using SQL server authentication, the local one is using windows authentication

  1. It would be helpful if your provided some of the errors your script produced.

    I notice you’re using Enterprise and Express editions – these two editions have differing features, described here: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/editions.aspx. Perhaps you’re using a feature that Express edition doesn’t support, or your database is too big.
