    what is the fastest and best way to create an empty database from the existing one. I want use it lie a prototy for creating databases.

    Can you provide a little more detail as to what you are trying to accomplish? Do you want all the tables in the database or just an empty shell databae?

  • I need an empty shell of the existing database with all the tables empty.

  • Using SSMS, right click on the database you are going to use as a template, click Tasks, Generate Scripts, and use the the Script Wizard to generate everything you need.
