Creating a Script out of Sample Data

SQL Server 2000

Is there any way to take sample data in my database and create an INSERT INTO script?

I have a commercial application that I would like to include sample data, and instead of restoring a backup like I am doing now, I would like to first run a script that creates the database, stored procedures, etc, then run a script that inserts sample data if the customer so chooses.

I know I can do this manually, but is there any way to create the script based on exisiting data?

TIA

Tim,

You can use our free tool, QALite or ObjectScriptr to generate insert
statements. You can download it from site.

You could use BCP/DTS to load the sample data from external files, but
if you want to use pure TSQL, then this is one possibility:
