SQL Server 2008 automated database drop, create and fill
- by lox
For the database in my project I have a drop/create script for the database, a script for creating tables and SPs and an Access 2003 .mdb file with some exported values.
To set up the database from scratch I can use my SQL management studio to first run one script, then the other and lastly manually run the sort of tedious import task.
But I would like to do this as automated as possible. Hopefully something like putting the three files in a folder along with a fourth script to execute. Looking something like:
run script "dropcreate.sql"
run script "createtables.sql"
import "values.mdb"
How is this done? I hope to avoid using SSIS and the like. The tricky this is of course the import of data, where I can't seem to find a simple way. It is also important that the files a left as they are and not embedded into anything.
