Praveen writes "I need to move/migrate data in SQL Server 2000 from 1 server to another using something called "Core Scripts batch jobs".The document that i have on Core Scripts says that it can be classified into 4 categories as
1) Igniter batch
2) Core batch
3) Job batch
4) Cartridge batch.
The doc goes on to say that the directory structure for core scripts jobs needs to be setup as follows:
Job scripts-> \sql\batch\<server|alias>\<db_name>Cartridge Scripts -> batch\<server|alias>\<db_name>\<Job_Name>Results/Logs-> \sql\results\<server|alias>\db_name\<Job_Name>\- Data storage-> \sql\data\<server|alias>\db_name

Can anyone throw some light as to how one can go about using these methods to migrate SQL Server tables to another server.

Thanks

Googling for the various phrases doean't get much.
Is this a product that you are trying to use or something built in-house?

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Yeah...forget it....

Script the table sructures into 1 file

Script all the constraints into another

bcp out all the data in native format

Copy the data files to the destination server

create all of the table objects

bcp all the data in

create all the contraints

This HAS to be the fastest way to do this..
