Hi

I currently have two seprate SQL Serevr Databases which are running on two seperate servers. one is a test environment and the other is the actual enviroment whihc is currently being used by users.

I made changes to the test database in terms of some store proceddure etc but not changed any of the entities or the relationships etc.

I wanted to get the data that the actual users have put in the database and put that data in to the test database by overwriting what is currently there. I have tried doing exports but im still having problems i just wanted to know is there an easy way of doing this?

is there any features i can use to do that? I am using sql server 2000

thanks

If you want only live data then its better you export them. May i know what were errors you got while exporting? how were you trying to export?

Is it possible to get the data from the database as a sql script or any other way that would be eaiser?

Why not backup the production database, restore it in development and the re-apply your changes.
