Import/Export Table SQL Script

Created by: Kristinn Magnusson

The following script generates SQL code to export table definition from one exMon DM database instance to another.

  • Run the script on the source database, copy the output and execute on destination.
  • Script is run per table and the variable @ExportTableDBName needs to be set to the database table name at source database.
