I need to export SQL Server 2017 database; can anyone please help me where I can find this?
Right click on a database ► Tasks ► Generate Scripts...
Select Script entire database and all database objects. Next like there is no tomorrow.
If you would like to include data as well, on the second step there is Advanced button. Find Types of data to script, then you can include data to schema as well. But there are more efficient ways to copy data exist.

How can I generate large table scripts ( data only) in sql server 2012?
-- Have approximately 116463 rows selected after seelect query was cancelled.could be more than that
Please suggest.
To do large amounts of just data the bcp Utility may be of a lot of help it can export data very quickly. It is through the cmd prompt but it is very clean and fast
It is a bulk copy.
This is the information from Microsoft
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx
Look into DTS Wizard. It is fast, easy and just right for such one time jobs. You can control where the data goes to, including another SQL Server, Excel, CSV, etc.... And, if needed, move the data in reverse, from your backup medium back into the original database. DTS Wizard...don't go anywhere without it. ;)
Right click your database in the Object Explorer
Choose Tasks
Choose Export Data to bring up the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard and pick your source (DB and table or query) and destination.
I created a small database in dbDesigner which includes 4 tables, and I want to add these tables with their relationships to a database on a SQL Server. How can I do this?
Best practice for this that I am aware of, is using Management Studio's functionality for this.
The following steps will produce a file containing an SQL script you can run on any server you want in order to import the schema (with or without the data).
Right click on you database.
Select Tasks > Generate scripts
Click Next
Choose Script entire database and all database objects
Select Save to file and Single file
If you want to export data as well, click on Advanced and change Types of data to script to Schema and data (default is schema only)
Click Next ... Next.
Run the generated file on the server you want to import the schema to.
In "Back UP" I only get a bak file, but I would like to create .sql file
Use SQL Server's Generate Scripts commend
right click on the database; Tasks -> Generate Scripts
select your tables, click Next
click the Advanced button
find Types of data to script - choose Schema and Data.
you can then choose to save to file, or put in new query window.
results in CREATE and INSERT statements for all table data selected in bullet 2.
This is a possible duplicate of: SQL script to get table content as "SELECT * FROM tblname"
To do a full database backup to File/Query you can use the 'Generate Scripts...' option on the Database.
Open SQL Server Management studio, right click on the database and choose 'Tasks->Generate Scripts...'
Then use the wizard to backup the database. You can script the whole database or parts of it. Two important options: In the 'Advanced' section, you will probably want to ensure 'Type of backup = 'Schema and Data' and the 'Script Statistics' is on.
This will produce a *.sql file that you can use as a backup that includes the schema and table data.
Ok, I read through most of these, but I had no "advanced button". But, there is still a way to do it, it's just a little hard to find, so here you go:
You can generate a script from a database, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178078.aspx
If you want to create a script of your database you right-click on the databases and Generate Scripts (it's in different sub-menus depending on what version of SQL and Enterprise Manager / SQL Server Management studio you're using).
That will, however, only get you the database objects. It will not generate scripts for data. Backing up a database will give you all of the database objects as well as the data, depending on what recovery model your database is set to.
This fellow may have achieved what you are trying to do by creating the backup, and then restoring it and giving it a new name.
This approach copies the data along with all of the database objects.
If you want a file with insert statements for your data have a look here:
This procedure generates INSERT statements using existing data from the given tables and views. Later, you can use these INSERT statements to generate the data. It's very useful when you have to ship or package a database application. This procedure also comes in handy when you have to send sample data to your vendor or technical support provider for troubleshooting purposes.

I want to copy all data from one database to another which has the same structure. The databases reside on the same machine & on same sql server.
I have googled a bit & have found solutions like this
INSERT states (statecode, statename)
SELECT statecode, statename
FROM server1.database1.dbo.states
But the problem is they are copying table by table & I have like more then 100 tables. I was thinking that is there a way to copy all of the data at once.
Views & stored procedures all should be copied.
Or should I be looking in some other direction to achieve this ...?
If this is a one-time need, use the (Database) > Tasks > Generate Scripts menu option in SQL Server Management Studio.
Some options:
Use the DB back up and restore tools to just move a big backup file. This is the simplest option.
Slave the 2nd instance off of the 1st. It'll keep it up to date, but can be a pain.
Use import export wizard to transfer the data from one DB to another DB and use Generate script for the Transfer the Procedure and views.
Check out tools like Red-Gate SQL Compare (for structural comparison) and SQL Data Compare (for data content compare). With Data Compare, you can also easily update one database from another (or a database backup, even).
They're not free - but if you have to do this several times over and over, just the time (not to speak of the hassle) you save yourself will easily outweigh the cost of purchasing these tools. Excellent stuff - highly recommended!
I need to move selected data from 800+ tables in one database to the same 800+ tables in another database in another server. The data I select is based on date fields of every table. So, if I say table 1 date from 01/01/10 to 01/15/10, then only that data I want to be copied into the other server's database table specified.
I hope I am not confusing anyone. What is easiest way to do this?
Look into SSIS. What you're talking about is very easy using it. Here is a page that talks about using variables in SSIS.
If this is a one time solution and the destination database is going to be a brand new one. I would restore a backup from the source database and then delete all the records outside of the date range I want in the new database.
If this is a one time solution and you need to move the data to an existing database you can use the export/import wizard in SQL Server Management Studio (This is not in Express edition). Right click on the database go to task and select export data. Then you can use a query to select the data based on the date range from the source table.
You can also link the servers and just run an insert into Server1.database.dbo.table1 to Server2.database.dbo.Table2.
If you will be moving data everyday I would recommend you to create an SSIS package. You can use the Export Wizard and save the SSIS package at the end. Then you can modify the SSIS package using Visual Studio.
