HOWTO create a copy of one database

Hello!

Was wondering how I can create a copy of one database? FYI I'm not
interrested in the data, just the fields and triggers, and so on.

Which way is the easiest? Do I create a script and run it from there? Is it
smart to have it inside a SP?

Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

I'm programming SQL 2k and VC7.0

In the Books Online index:
objects-SQL-DMO, Database
methods-SQL-DMO, Transfer
objects-SQL-DMO, Transfer
objects-SQL-DMO, Transfer2

I couldn't find any examples in C++, but here is one in VB:

If you want to do it from inside you application, use SQL-DMO. You can

copy
the complete database without using a script with the Database.Transf er method, or you can generate a script with the Database.Script method. Both method have a rather long list of parameters, which is a bit too much to mention here, but whihc you can find in Books Online. The parameters
basically allow you all the options you have when copying a database or generating a script from Enterprise Manager.

Hi NG, I am looking for a good way to dynamically generate a bunch of TabPages. I have a list of more or less identical object. For each of these objects I need a user interface. My thought is, to provide a TabPage for every object with controls on it to interact with them. How can that be achieved dynamically. The only way I can think of to do this is to prepare the max needed TabPages

Every time during development we had to make table changes, we use Control Center. Most of the time, Control Center fails.

Talking to developers at other companies who have had the misfortune of using DB2, they are adamant that you cannot use the tools; they are buggy and you just have to resign yourself to...
