Export database and tables no table data
-
Trying to move a database from one sql server instance to another on separate servers .
I need to only move it like a skeleton no data and looking for steps to export the database and tables.
Is this possible?
-
Why not just script out all the objects and then run all that in a separate database?
Otherwise, you could make a copy of your database and then use dynamic SQL to truncate all of the tables.

In SSMS object explorer, rightclick your database name, click "tasks", select "Generate Scripts"
next
Script entire database and objects ( is by default without the data )
advanced
make sure you script all options you want to ( by default it will e.g. not script triggers etc )
