Sure, will do once I get some free time. And yes, I've upgraded the .Net version to 4.0 since that was required for SQL2008.

Works great! This is a great little tool for scripting as described and I'm glad to bring it with me to a SQL 2008R2 projects I'm on. Would you by any chance, please upload your bits for working with 2008/2012 to: http://scriptdb.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/patches? I appreciate the time you took to make this update available.

(Also, note that the version above requires .Net 4.0, i think the original was .net 2.0 or 3.)

I have used this software before with SQL Server 2005 and that was great! Now I tried running it for SQL Server 2008 and got only exceptions for missing files and wrong versions of libraries.

And since the project does not seem to be maintained any more, I have compiled the source code against newer libraries.

Rated 4 Stars (out of 5) - -ScriptAllDatabases is key, really nice to have to create a structural backup of an entire server in a single pass. ScriptDB still makes us define a full path and file for -filename even though we specify the path in -OutDir. But that's minor.

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - This is a great utility for version control. They seem to have done the hard work for supporting Functions and Types but not fully implemented it. I added the argument handler for Functions and it scripted them perfectly.

New Post: Script whole database in one script / filter databases

ErikvanD — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 06:38:19 GMT

Hi all,

I have been playing around a bit with this nice little program (SQL 2008R2/Windows 7 x64) and I am very glad with it.

I wonder about two things:

- is it possible to script a whole database in one script? Just like you would do when generating a script in Management Studio? I know there are other ways to combine all the table scripts etc. to one large script but it would be a nice option

- I would like to be able to use the -ScriptAllDatabase option but it would be nice if you could filter on let's say the first few characters of the database name? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Erik

New Post: Grant Permissions on Create Sprocs/UDFs

New Post: Grant Permissions on Create Sprocs/UDFs

jmann — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 16:44:39 GMT

I guess this is more of a feature request.

To add, sp_helprotect for each sproc and determine what permissions are added, and then add that to the end of sproc create.

This should only be done if ScriptAsCreate is true, since alter will already have the permissions set.

I'm looking into figuring it out myself, but thought I'd mention it here.

Rated 4 Stars (out of 5) - Nice hiearchy... Good structure, and really fast. Love the ScriptAsCreate too! Only suggestion is to add Grant Execute on Sprocs/UDFs for existing permissions (not sure if this is even possible).

Commented Issue: ForeignKeys are always scripted as Drops [18848]

AndreasPaulsson — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 21:33:30 GMT

When scripting foreign keys, the code is

if (!_CreateOnly)
{
so.ScriptDrops = so.IncludeIfNotExists = true;
}
WriteScript(smo.Script(), sw);

but I think that it should be

if (!_CreateOnly)
{
so.ScriptDrops = so.IncludeIfNotExists = true;
WriteScript(smo.Script(so), sw);
}
so.ScriptDrops = so.IncludeIfNotExists = false;
WriteScript(smo.Script(so), sw);

Currently, drop scripts are always generated which is not very useful.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: AndreasPaulsson **

By bad, so.DriForeignKeys = true also needs to be set.

so.DriForeignKeys = true;

before foreign key script generation and

so.DriForeignKeys = false;

is much better.
