Script generation for Objects - Management Studio

How do I generate a single script for each object - table, view, index, trigger, sp, function etc.... in SQL Server. The script that is generated from SQL Server wizards is in a single file.

I want to have separate file for each of the objects.

In EM, you right-click on the object, select 'all tasks', then 'Generate SQL Script'. I do not have access to Management Studio right now, so this may or may not be much help.

Do you have access to Enterprise Manager? You can run SQL Server 2000 and 2005 side by side, so it may be worthwhile installing if you cannot do this in MS.

Well we have the same feature in SQL 2005 but I need one individual file for each object. I do not want the script of say all tables in file. I want this in different files with file name as table name that is getting scripted.

It applies to other objects like procs, funcs, triggers, constraints, FKs etc

|||You might look at Scriptio. I use it to create .sql files off of my db schema. On the 2nd tab I select ONE FILE PER OBJECT. www.sqlteam.com. The only problem I have found is that existing sql files (we re-exporting) can't be read-only.|||Currently, the Generate Script Wizard can only create a single file. We plan to implement file-per-object functionality in SP2.

Script

Hi Folks,
I need a script that it'll changed varchar field to nvarchar a table which i
pass it's name via parameter.
I generated it but it'll raise exception when a field has foreign key etc...
I don't want to spend more time to this work. Do you have a script like
this? Or program?
If you have it could you share with me?
Thanks.
Hi
If you try and change a column's data type and the column is referenced by a
foreign key, or is part of a primary key will give you an error. You will
need to drop these before trying to change the columns datatype. The easiest
way would be to script them, drop them and re-create them afterwards. To drop
them see http://www.mssqlserver.com/scripts/drop_keys.sql

There are several ways to do this, as this is a one off job use Enterprise
Manager. If you take a backup before making any changes and restore the
database under a different name, you could use a tool such as Red Gate's SQL
Compare to check the differences (in fact you could use this to re-apply the
missing FKs and PKs).

Generated script fails because fucntions are added to this script after

How can I resolve this?
