QUESTION POSED ON: 13 February 2007
I want to dump my SQL Server Express database as a SQL Server text file including "create table and index statements, and "insert into ... statements for all tables." Postgres has such a utility called pg_dump. Any ideas?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
The new Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals has this option. Alternately, you might just want to use some community resources like this one from CodeProject.
