I've recently become the defacto DBA of two MSSQL databases at work because I am the only one with SQL experience. I have been asked to do some tasks with the databases but this requires and understanding of their structure. I cannot find anything akin to MySQL's mysqldump for mssql and have been looking for that among other help in being able to use my MySQL experience as a base for learning MSSQL. I have spent a few days (8 to 9 hours per day) searching for this and cannot find anything. the best i have found is this link http://users.pandora.be/pecop/sqlr/sqlbasics.html
using that i have tried to get table makeup dumped only to get what looks like rubbish as wraps at 60 characters no matter what making it nearly impossible to figure out from the output.
I have been hoping to find something like MySQL's mysqldump so that i can read the table creation part of the outputs and know how the tables are set up AND have a backup (which would be useful and i dont belive we currently have)
Any pointers to a tool like this or in how to get mssql to give me output usable like this would be deeply appreciated.
There was a GUI interface that had an expired trial when i was given the job of taking over. I would have to get approval before getting anything I need to pay money for.
The type of print out I am looking for wouldbe something like this from MySQL for a previous thing I had done (previous to this job even) - -- MySQL dump 8.23

-- Host: localhost Database: dcfydllc

Hi all,
We have 2 databases that are not connected to each other directly.
Changes to either databases can only be done on one side.
Those 2 databases are of the type MSAccess or MSSQL but with the same
structure.
So if something changes ( added,updated,deleted ) in Database 1 this
should be replicated through a webservice to Database 2.
I was thinking to make a kind of sourcesafe where you can check-in &

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
