  • hello,

    I am new to SQL server. can any one please post, how to take backup and restore of particular table in database through GUI in SQL2008.

    thanks,

  • There's a bunch of ways. Easiest would be:

    In SQL Server Management Studio right-click the table then navigate to "export" and walk through use the wizard. The most common format/output is to a csv file. You would import files the same way (except navigate to "Import")

    "I cant stress enough the importance of switching from a sequential files mindset to set-based thinking. After you make the switch, you can spend your time tuning and optimizing your queries instead of maintaining lengthy, poor-performing code."

  • Since you're new, maybe this won't hurt... watching Grant Fritchey explain it and walk you through it...

  • what if the table is in GB size?
