Script Utility

I relied a lot on scptxfr.exe in SQL Server 2000. It does not ship
with the new version of SQL Server and does not work with SQL Server
2005 either. What's the equivalent of that scripting utility in SQL
Server 2005?
Thanks.
Not exactly the equivalent but the Scripting class in SMO
and the Script method is much improved over the Script
method available with SQL Server 2000 DMO. You should be
able to do whatever you were doing with scptxfr using SMO.

SCPTXFR.EXE-- Problem with Drop procedure

hi there
I am using SCPTXFR.EXE to generate script of the database(for backup),using following command.

SCPTXFR.EXE /s abc /d aaa /P abc12345 /f D:\HSE0607\SCHEMA.sql /q/r/T

Now the script is generating fine, but what i find that there is no statment like
"if not exists(...) "
for the Stored Procedure( i had applied the /r parameter), for the Create Tables it is there.

Why there is no statment IF NOT EXISTS(...) for Stored Procedure?
I need this Line, how can i do this?
Regards,
Thanks.

scptxfr.exe

Hello Experts,
I have some Table names and fields in my language (Greek)
and when I use the scptxfr.exe utility to script my DB
then I see "chinese" (Greek argot and maybe yours too). I
try place the Code Page but it didn't worked.
Do you have any suggestions how to resolve this problem?
Is it a good (which scripts hierachical) tool to script
my whole DB?
PS: I got SQL Server 2000 (latest Service Pack)
Thanks in advance.
Konstantinos MichasHi Konstantinos,
Have you tried running the program with the UNICODE
switch ?
That should make it collation independant.
