thanks for the feedback Bill;
I had initially tried to use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views to build a script like this...the problem is, those views do not contain all the information. which column has the identity() property for example, and you cannot find things like the seed and increment of an identity column either, to name just one example i faced.
