Generate Insert Statements for SQL Server

Many times it is necessary to script the insert of rows into a SQL Server table as part of a release, bug fix, maintenance process, etc. I have done this through T-SQL, Excel, and I'm sure a few other ways.

It turns out Microsoft provides a tool to do this for us with ease. It is called the Database Publishing Wizard. This tool can script both DDL and DML. The actual executable is named SqlPubWiz.exe and can be found in a path similar to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Publishing\1.4.

Give it a shot. It's a nice little tool to have in the toolbox.
