Blindly Copy SQL Database
Another quick SQL note; a side-effect of some earlier searching.
It ought to be possible to copy all columns in all tables in a given database in a completely generic way. For creating quick testing environments using current data, this could be handy.
Table information: SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES order by Table_Name
Column information SELECT * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME = 'table_name'
I just have to get around to writing the loop logic the iterates over each table and extracts its column list for a dynamic SQL statement using the earlier table copying script. If I get around to this, I will post a followup.
