I’d like to make a daily automatic creation of the creation script for a database in SQL Server 2008, meaning having a (bat, exe, … whatever) that creates a text file with the very same output obtained by right-clicking on the database in SQL Management Studio and do Script database as… –> Create to… –> New Query window.

Any hint?

Thanks in advance,

Mauro

EDIT 1: We already used SMO but a couple of things are annoying

  • Needs compatibility pack in SQL Server 2008 (confirm?)
  • Some things were not created in script (some indexes and keys and in table creation schema is lost)

Best choice for me would something with a powershell script but any other idea is welcome!

    You can use SMO. For example: http://www.sqlteam.com/article/scripting-database-objects-using-smo-updated (see the Scripting Objects section).
