使用SQL Server 2008将所有数据库数据导出为xml格式

Question

I have .bak format file with database from another company. After a long time of configuration SQL Server I have access to this data but Is there any way to export all database to XML format? Is there easiest way than export every table by typing:

SELECT * from MLS.dbo.Offers

FOR XML AUTO

Answer 1

Not an exact answer but following SQL will help you to list down all the schema and table names. And you can build a dynamic SQL thing around this result set to achieve what you want.

SELECT DISTINCT
       DB_NAME() AS [Database],
       SCHEMA_NAME(SCHEMA_ID) AS [Schema],
       Name AS [Table]
FROM sys.tables
ORDER BY 1,2;
