Question

Is it possible to export my database that i created in SQL Server 2008 Express?

I'm asking this because I need my group mate to be able to work on the same one. I know you can generate a script for the database but it give a bunch of errors when we try to run it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can right click the dbase then Task->Backup
This will generate a .bak file which you can Task->Restore to a new database

You can refer here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us//library/ms187048.aspx
