/* =================================================== Generate MERGE Statements for All Tables =================================================== Copyright: Eitan Blumin (C) 2012 Email: eitan@madeiradata.com Source: www.madeiradata.com Disclaimer: The author is not responsible for any damage this script or any of its variations may cause. Do not execute it or any variations of it on production environments without first verifying its validity on controlled testing and/or QA environments. You may use this script at your own risk and may change it to your liking, as long as you leave this disclaimer header fully intact and unchanged. Description: This script finds all the tables in the database (only such with a primary key) and generates a .sql file for each table, which contains a MERGE statement using all the records currently present in the table. Upon execution of these generated scripts, they will "initialize" the table to only contain the records that were present at the time of the script generation. Instructions: There's no need to change anything except the values in the Configuration Area at the beginning of this script. Any other changes could change the behaviour of this script and will be done at your own risk. In any case, this script is commented as much as possible to help you understand how it works. Known Issues: Due to the use of MERGE statements and VALUES constructor, these scripts will only work in SQL Server version 2008 or higher. If a MERGE statement is executed for a table which tries to delete rows, and these rows are referenced by another table using a foreign key WITHOUT ON DELETE CASCADE, then the execution will fail. For these scripts to work properly, all foreign keys must have ON DELETE CASCADE turned on. If at the time of the MERGE script generation, any tables have no rows, The script file contents for them will be a single DELETE statement which deletes all records. Columns with the IMAGE data type may cause conversion errors. */ ---------------- Start of Configuration Area ---------------- DECLARE -- Target path where to save your .sql files (must be ended with a slash \): @OutputFolderPath NVARCHAR(4000) = N'C:\Temp\Output\', -- BCP template for executing the MERGE statement generation procedure: -- Change this to connect to the desired server using a working username and password (or use -T for trusted connection) -- For more information on BCP please visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx /* This "template" uses placeholders for several changing variables (later replaced with values using REPLACE).
