Hi Sergey
Thought I would point this directly at you since you will probably be the one to answer <s>
I understand how to create a script to create a table. But how would I create a script to have insert commands to populate a table with data existing in a current table.
I am working on a project with other developers. I periodically have to restore a backup of the common database we are using, but I have sometimes dummied up test data in one of the tables in my local installation. I would like to create a sql script that does inserts of this data into the same table once it has been restored from backup ( where it is probably empty )
Hope the question makes sense. I am sure there is some easy way to accomplish this, but short of writing out the script manually the solution is eluding me
TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
