| I need to get a backup or copy of a very large database. The issue is that I need it to be schema complete including RI, views, triggers, etc, but I need it to only include a small percentage of the actual data. It would be relatively easy to get 20 rows per table, but maintaining RI has me stumped.Does anyone have a tool or method for doing this?Thanks-b |

| 1. Create a DB script, restore on the target server.2. Use DTS to export whole content of MASTER tables. 3. Use DTS to export TOP 20 ROWS of all TRANSACTIONAL tables. (use the option - Use a query to transfer the data server)------------------------I think, therefore I am - Rene Descartes |

Copying schema, subset of data only?
