  • We script all objects of all user databases at least once a week (including all DDL and grant scripts) using SQLSMO.

    These scrips a safeguarded in parallel with the visual source safe our dev teams are using.

    And yes, at least once of twice a year, I'm asked to pull back a mistakenly rolled out sproc, function, or other object, so this insurance proves itself to be usefull and worth the investment.

    "But they could have done that using their VSS" you may argue.

    If they only would use it the way it is supposed to ... indeed.

    Do I have the worst dev teams ? Certainly not !!

    In many cases they have tight deadlines, causing them to over rule the safeguard systems that have been implemented for their own support.

    IMO a dba needs to protect her/his database systems and have her/his version of the actual truth.

  • Microsoft provides a couple of stored procedures that can do this for you. Pick the appropriate version of their code from the following link:

    Transfer Logins between Servers via Script

    and then all you have to do is call the stored procedure in a job everynight that outputs the printed results to a text file. If you use logging in SQL Agent it can accomplish this.
