So i'm used to PHPMySQL where if I want to transfer a table from one database to another, I:
- go to the table
- click "export"
- CTRL-C
- go to the other database, insert SQL, CTRL-V
In MS SQL Server 2008 Express, I try:
- right-click, script table as, CREATE TO
- but this only gives me the CREATE TABLE sql, not the INSERT INTO sql
- right-click, script table as, INSERT TO
- this gives me INSERT TO sql but assumes that I am going to fill in the data (!)
- so I fire up the SQL Server 2008 Express Import/Export Data Wizard, but it doesn't seem to give me the simple CREATE/INSERT INTO script that I want either. :-(
So how can I get a simple SQL dump of a table in MS SQL Server 2008 Express, the kind that PHPMySQL gives me:
