Question

I need to create a backup of a SQL Server 2005 Database that’s only the structure…no records, just the schema. Is there any way to do this?

EDIT: I’m trying to create a backup file to use with old processes, so a script wouldn’t work for my purposes, sorry

Answer 1

Use a 3 step process:

1. Generate a script from the working database
2. Create a new database from that script
3. Create a backup of the new database
