Loading the database into the client

  • Hi,

    While loading the database to the client for demo / installations, is it good to generate scripts or load the physical database.

    i want to load with some data. so just generate script will not work.

    help me in this

    Regards

  • The easiest way to do it is probably with a backup & restore.

    However, if you're making lots of changes over time to the structure or the data, you may want to script everything and do a full tear down & rebuild each time. In my experience, if you're dealing with volatile data or structures, this is the easier way to work. But then, we're building our databases from source control already. If you're not doing that yet, it's a bit of a leap.
