Table-level backup

Question

How to take table-level backup  dump  in MS SQL Server 2005 2008

User · Answer

I am using the bulk copy utility to achieve table-level backups

to export:

bcp.exe "select * from [MyDatabase].dbo.Customer " queryout "Customer.bcp" -N -S localhost -T -E

to import:

bcp.exe [MyDatabase].dbo.Customer in "Customer.bcp" -N -S localhost -T -E -b 10000

as you can see, you can export based on any query, so you can even do incremental backups with this. Plus, it is scriptable as opposed to the other methods mentioned here that use SSMS.

If you are looking to be able to restore a table after someone has mistakenly deleted rows from it you could maybe have a look at database snapshots  You could restore the table quite easily  or a subset of the rows  from the snapshot  See http   msdn microsoft com en-us library ms175158 aspx

If you re looking for something like MySQL s DUMP  then good news  SQL Server 2008 Management Studio added that ability    In SSMS  just right-click on the DB in question and select Tasks   Generate Scripts  Then in the 2nd page of the options wizard  make sure to select that you d like the data scripted as well  and it will generate what amounts to a DUMP file for you

Every recovery model lets you back up   a whole or partial SQL Server database   or individual files or filegroups of   the database  Table-level backups   cannot be created    From  Backup Overview  SQL Server

You cannot use the BACKUP DATABASE command to backup a single table  unless of course the table in question is allocated to it s own FILEGROUP   What you can do  as you have suggested is Export the table data to a CSV file  Now in order to get the definition of your table you can  Script out  the CREATE TABLE script   You can do this within SQL Server Management Studio  by      right clicking Database   Tasks   Generate Script    You can then select the table you wish to script out and also choose to include any associated objects  such as constraints and indexes   in order to get the DATA along with just the schema  you ve got to choose Advanced on the set scripting options tab  and in the GENERAL section set the Types of data to script select Schema and Data  Hope this helps but feel free to contact me directly if you require further assitance

This is similar to qntmfred s solution  but using a direct table dump  This option is slightly faster  see BCP docs    to export   bcp   MyDatabase  dbo Customer   out  Customer bcp  -N -S localhost -T -E   to import   bcp  MyDatabase  dbo Customer in  Customer bcp  -N -S localhost -T -E -b 10000

I don t know  whether it will match the problem described here  I had to take a table s incremental backup   Only new inserted data should be copied   I used to design a DTS package where    I fetch new records  on the basis of a  status  column  and transferred the data to destination   Through  Transform Data Task    Then I just updated the  status  column   Through  Execute SQL Task     I had to fix the  workflow  properly

You probably have two options  as SQL Server doesn t support table backups  Both would start with scripting the table creation   Then you can either use the Script Table - INSERT option which will generate a lot of insert statements  or you can use Integration services  DTS with 2000  or similar to export the data as CSV or similar
