I have a question about SQL Server: how to take script database objects automatically using T-SQL script and keep into specific foleder (e.g. c:\backup\)
Create monthly tables structure (create without data), views, procedures, functions and triggers backups with unique names and all are in one file and keep it into specific folder in SQL Server.
I have tried like below using ssms manually
right click on database
click Task -> Generate Scripts -> Choose Objects -> Select entire database
and all database objects (tables, view, function and triggers etc) ->
set scripting option choose the required directory name and save file
Please tell me how to achieve this task in SQL Server.

Is there a way to a CREATE Script recursive in pgAdmin where you could right-click on the db and it would give you the CREATE Scripts for the db and all of its schemas and tables in one shot?
I know I can right-click on a db, schema or table and generate a create script for that one particular thing, but in a db with dozens of tables it becomes a tedious cut and paste chore if you want to save all the necessary scripts.
I am using the ddlgen tool to get DDLs or whole databases. Now I need to re-generate databases into another location (structure only).
Can anyone help me to re-create database schema in another location?
ddlgen creates sql scripts
To recreate your database structure, just run the scripts in the correct order against your new system.
isql -Uusername -Sservername -iDDLGenScript.sql
If you have multiple scripts, then this is the recommended order from the SAP ASE Documentation
Segment
Group
User
Rules
Defaults
UDDs
Encrypted Keys
User Tables
Proxy Tables
Triggers
Functions and Views
All functions without any dependency
All views without any dependency

There's a facility in MySQL Workbench's EER Modelling mode to write an SQL script that's stored with the model. But I've looked all over the place and can't see any way of executing such a script, other than by copying and pasting it into a window of the query mode. There's a menu item Scripting/Run Script, but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. Surely there must be some application of the scripts section of the model beyond just storing SQL text?
Running arbitrary SQL code during forward engineering or synchronization is not possible. The only code that gets executed is the sql to create the objects and to fill tables with data specified in the Inserts section of the table editor.
Running an sql script in general is of course possible and also trivial. Simply open a connection to your server (you should have one created on the home screen, if not do this first). Then in the editor toolbar there's a button to open a script. Use that to open the file (if you have a separate sql file). If you want to run code that is stored in the model (as SQL file) you have to copy/paste it over.
Originally, I used Data Modelling in MySQL Workbench to design a database consisting of a series of tables (i.e. the columns and relationships).
Then using Database -> Forward Engineer, I created a database, and inserted data into the tables.
Now I've realised that the model I've designed needs some changes, and so I've altered some tables by inserted columns. My question is, how do I get MySQL Workbench to alter the tables?
Using Database -> Synchronize Model, Update Source just generates a bunch of CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sql statements, and as the tables exist, nothing changes.
What you are looking for is in the model menu Database / Synchronize model.
As I couldn't get get File -> Export -> Forward Engineer SQL ALTER Script to work, so I made a backup of the data, dropped the tables, recreated them, and then imported the data. I'd rather find a way to get MySQL Workbench to generate ALTER commands from the changes in my model
The 2011 answer is no longer up to date. I struggled to find the option in a recent version. Here is the new procedure (works for MySQLWorkbench 6.2 at least):
When you have finished editing your model, open Database -> Synchronize with Any Source
In the step Select Source you have 3 parts
Source : choose Model Schemadata
Destination : choose Live Database Server
Send updates to : choose whether the live database should be updated or if you only want to saves the changes to a .sql file
Proceed in the wizard, you can then review the tables and sql queries that will be executed. You can also ignore the update of some tables.
In T-SQL (Microsoft SQL 2008), how can I make a new database which will have the same schemas, tables, table columns, indexes, constraints, and foreign keys, but will not contain any data from the original database?
Note: making a full copy, then removing all data is not a solution in my case, since the database is quite big, and such full copy will spend too much time.
See here for instructions: How To Script Out The Whole Database In SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008
In SQL Management Studio, right click on the database and select "Script database as"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178078.aspx
You can then use the script to create an empty one.
Edit : OP did say 2008
I use liquibase for this purpose. Just point liquibase to a different server and it will use your changelog to bring the second database up to date, schema wise. It has the added benefit that the changelog file gets stored in source control and so I can have tagged versions of it, allowing me to restore a database to what a specific version of my app is expecting.
