So is there is way i can get the rows from all of that table.. There are around... 1000 rows or something like that and that database consits of 5 - 6 tables.

I have a client who was installed improperly on a Case InsensitiveCollation SQL system and have been working with this system for over ayear. For them to move forward in application software versions, theywill need to be reinstalled on a Case Sensitive SQL system. I waswondering if anyone has tried this and was willing to provideinformation that may be of assistance? I have tried various someoptions within DTS but without success.
Ok, so thank you first off to Arnie for helping with my auto-increment problem. I'm not in the office now, but I can't wait to try out what he showed me to get this thing running.
My bigger problem that I'm hoping you guys can help me with though is this:
I have two servers, and two databases, lets call them dev, and staging. These are exactly the same, except in different physical locations, and changes are made on dev, and then the info is updated to staging. I am writing a C# script to automate the process of updating the information from the dev database on the dev server, to staging. I am profficient with C#, but this is the first time i've ever touched SQL.
So by using the INSERT and SELECT method, I can get the info over properly, I am assuming (as I said I haven't been in the office to try it out yet) but for each table on the database there are different sets of column names, so I can't do a simple
Loop{
SqlCommand del = new SqlCommand("Truncate table " +MyTable", connectionstring)
del.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO MyTable (MyColumn)
SELECT MyOtherColumn FROM MyOtherTable", connectionstring);
com.ExecuteNonQuery();
}While(...) and change the MyTable/MyOtherTable values for each loop.
Is there a quick and easy way of calling a list of columns for each table, so that I can change the table value, get the list of columns, and assign those as a variable? That way it can run through every table on the database, and no matter what the number or names of the columns in each table, it will grab all the necessary data and pass it over.

Anybody has idea how to transfer database from SQL Server 7 to 6.5? I know how to migrating/upgrading database from 6.5 to 7.0, but from 7.0 to 6.5 seems not an easy one.

Transfering DB from one collation in SQL 2000 to a different collation in SQL 2000.
We need to transer our databases from codepage 850 to 1252.
We have succesfully transfered all objects and data EXCEPT stored procedures and triggers using the "Import/Export Data Wizard." We then scripted all the stored procedures and triggers from the cp850 database and installed them into the cp1252 DB. However for quite a few stored procedures and triggers we get the error "Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation." I have tried scripting the sp's with the option 'Only script 7.0 compatible features' on and off but get the same errors each time.

Hi, I am new to the database concepts, maybe my questions are very basic. I transfered data from one sql server to another thru object/database transfer. The transfer was successful, ie., all the data was present in the new server too. I am using an application with ASP as front end and SQL server 6.5 as back end.

I hope some one of can help me, as i said earlier i am new to databases, so give me a detailed solution.
