Hi! I previously was using sqldmo to automatically generate scripts from the databse. Now I upgraded to sql server 2008 and I don’t want to use this feature anymore since Microsoft will be dropping this feature off. Is there any other alternative I can use to connect to a server and generate scripts automatically from a database? Any answer is welcome. Thanks in advance. This is the procedure i was previously using:

CREATE PROC GenerateSP ( @server varchar(30) = null, @uname varchar(30) = null, @pwd varchar(30) = null, @dbname varchar(30) = null, @filename varchar(200) = 'c:\script.sql' ) AS

DECLARE @object int DECLARE @hr int DECLARE @return varchar(200) DECLARE @exec_str varchar(2000) DECLARE @spname sysname

SET NOCOUNT ON

-- Sets the server to the local server IF @server is NULL SELECT @server = @@servername

-- Sets the database to the current database IF @dbname is NULL SELECT @dbname = db_name()

-- Sets the username to the current user name IF @uname is NULL SELECT @uname = SYSTEM_USER

-- Create an object that points to the SQL Server EXEC @hr = sp_OACreate 'SQLDMO.SQLServer', @object OUT IF @hr <> 0 BEGIN PRINT 'error create SQLOLE.SQLServer' RETURN END

-- Connect to the SQL Server IF @pwd is NULL BEGIN EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, 'Connect', NULL, @server, @uname IF @hr <> 0 BEGIN PRINT 'error Connect' RETURN END END ELSE BEGIN EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, 'Connect', NULL, @server, @uname, @pwd IF @hr <> 0 BEGIN PRINT 'error Connect' RETURN END END

--Verify the connection EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, 'VerifyConnection', @return OUT IF @hr <> 0 BEGIN PRINT 'error VerifyConnection' RETURN END

SET @exec_str = 'DECLARE script_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM ' + @dbname + '..sysobjects WHERE type = ''P'' ORDER BY Name' EXEC (@exec_str)

OPEN script_cursor FETCH NEXT FROM script_cursor INTO @spname WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1) BEGIN SET @exec_str = 'Databases("'+ @dbname +'").StoredProcedures("'+RTRIM(UPPER(@spname))+'").Script(74077,"'+ @filename +'")' EXEC @hr = sp_OAMethod @object, @exec_str, @return OUT IF @hr <> 0 BEGIN PRINT 'error Script' RETURN
END FETCH NEXT FROM script_cursor INTO @spname END CLOSE script_cursor DEALLOCATE script_cursor

-- Destroy the object EXEC @hr = sp_OADestroy @object IF @hr <> 0 BEGIN PRINT 'error destroy object' RETURN END GO
