    Nice idea.

    An alternative is to use SSMS 2008's in-built data scripting functionality:

    I just love it when I start the day off learning something new. With this link, and with the article showing how to do the inserts as binary data, I've learned two things.

    Great article, and good link here ... I didn't know that this was in SSMS2008.

    If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!
