In SQL Server 2000 you had DTS where you had the option to choose to export table structure along with data and also to choose specific tables only. Is there a similar option in SQé Server 2005 version.
I would like to export just 5 tables along structure and data from an existing database to another database. The data is required as it contains auto increment id fields that are maintained as foreign keys.
SSMS has a facility to do this available from the object explorer (somewhat counter-intuitively this is not available within BIDS). This invokes a wizard that generates an SSIS package that can export one or more tables to another database.
Right click on the node in the SSMS object explorer, select Tasks->Export Data and this will invoke the export data wizard. The rest it pretty self-explanatory.
