    I don't understand why there are no export/import utilities in SQL Server. Oracle, DB2 (LUW), and MySQL have export and import utilities. SQL Server 6.5 had export/import utilities.

    You mean like bcp, BULK INSERT and SSIS?

    You can set up an export package via the import/export wizard (right click a database, tasks-> export data), save the package and then set it up as a SQL Agent job. Same with an import wizard package
