Project Description
SQL Server Dump (sqlserverdump) is a command line utility inspired by mysqldump. It allows to dump SQL Server databases and their content as SQL statements. It's developped in C#.
The creator's initial aim was to be able to backup databases in a non-binary format. Microsoft's backup tools create binary files which can be restored pretty much only on a server having the same version as the one on which the backup has been made. The goal with this project is to be as much as possible independant of the server's version.
The project makes use of SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) in order to generate the SQL statements.
