Hi All,

I need to generate data insert scripts for tables in a database but only for tables whose name begin with 'Enum'. I have hundreds of tables full of data, but only about a dozen Enum tables that contain static data, hence I want to filter for the name.

Any type of solution is OK with me using CLR, TSQL, C#.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best Regards,
Daniel

This is an sp which takes a table name and creates insert statements for the data.

It's very old so may need some tweaking for current versions.


Create a temp table and populate it with the names of tables you require.
Loop through that calling the above sp for each table.
You can insert the output of the sp into a temp table if you want to concatenate all the rows.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Thanks for the help. I ended up using this script here:

It has a lot of features and handles most data types really well.
Thanks for your time, anyway.

Best Regards,
Daniel
