P.S. Tasks > Export

I have spent the last 2 months or so designing and modeling my new application backend in SQL Server 2005 Express edition.

I am ready to move it to a production copy of SQL Server 2005.

How do I go about this

What kind of words can I put into google to bring some sort of results.

I have been looking in many places but no luck on how to take all the tables I have made (some with data, some not) and copy them to a live SQL 2005 Server.

Thanks in Advance for any help.

    Jon,

    I am in the same boat with my Express db. I have signed up with CrystalTech for hosting. Did you find a good solution to your problem

    You would need to write a few lines of code that call SMO.

    How can I produce a schema I'm assuming that is what I need to do. I am moving the database from my local machine (SQL Server Express) to a hosted SQL Server 2005 machine.

    Thank you for your help,

    Jon

    When I right-click on the Database in the Manager, I choose Tasks..

    But Import / Export options are NOT THERE.

    What do I do

    Why is this option not in my instance of SQL Express.

    Thank you.

    Depending on how you want the database hosted you could use detach/attach, backup/restore or scripting of schema and data.
