Question

Using SQL Server 2005\2008

Is there a way to copy a particular data row from one relation database to another similar database, along with its relational data? In a sense that all the other data (FKs) from this database which will need to be there for this particular data row to exist in destination database should also be copied.

I basically need to copy a particular scenario from the production box to test box, without copying the entire table \databases over to test systems.

I can definitely find all the Fk from this table and copy the data manually but that is too time consuming when the base tables keeps changing.

Any tool\ generic queries that can help me move a data scenario from one relational database to other.
