Copying tables in SQLEXPRESS

Hello,

I have a program, running in several places, using SQLEXPRESS as database.
The different places are stand-alone, and not connected to a network.
Regulary, I have to apply changes on certain tables of the database.

In a previous program, written in VB6 with an Access database, I used JRO
through VB6-code to delete the table in the different databases and to copy
the new one.

Is something similar possible with SQLEXPRESS. I would like to be able to
update tables in an SQLEXPRESS database file by deleting them and replace
them with the new table. Is this possible through VB.NET code?

Many thanks and greetings from Brugge (Bruges - Belgium),

Michel

Michel,

With normal SQL script you can do that, have by instance a look at the drop
command.

hello Michel

You can do this with SQL -DMO objects or with DDL-SQL ( wich suits you the
best )

First off, if this is better posted in another group that qualifies as a manged group, please let me know. I currently have an application written in VB.Net using MSDE as the database.
