Database Publishing Wizard
So I want to formalize the creation of the databases, in entirety. I've got a million scripts per database -- the db itself, tables, procs, views, users, perms, etc -- but, i want one script per database, inclusive of everything, in entirety. And - I want it done in my order. :-)
You go into SSMS, choose database\Tasks\Generate Scripts -- there's no real order to how things are scripted. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong -- but, I always have to move stuff around to get it into my order - somewhat like this:
tables
indices
constraints
triggers
views
udf's
synonyms
procedures
logins
users
roles
privilege grants
Alphabetically within that would be fabulous, but..... not necessarily required. :-)
(I know... that sounds pretty anal.)
Anyway, I want one script within which the entire database is scripted, from the ground up. The database, all of the objects, the logins/users and associated privilege grants. Data isn't necessary.
I've never used the Database Publishig Wizard, so I'm doing a little reading, and I see this ability to script passwords along with the .sql, and I figured I'd check that out. I downloaded what i thought was the latest and greatest:

but the darned thing won't touch my v2008 instances.

Maybe that's not the tool to use. Maybe there's a more clever way to do the scripting within SSMS, or even Visual Studio.
Given the above requirements, does anybody know of a good tool out there? Or, need I just do what I've been doing via SSMS, and reorder all my objects in the final script, as needed?
Tips, thoughts, suggestions, magic sql --- all seriously welcome.

Yes, as I said, I've gone thru the SSMS 'Generate Scripts' many times. I'm just looking for either a better tool, or another means of using this one, that will give me the output, as desired.

i guess i was hoping for a little trick or two, that i was unaware of.
no biggie... i'll just dig back into SSMS.
thanks for looking

In SSMS if you right click on a database, go to Tasks\Generate Scripts you can script almost any aspect into one file. Not sure if it does passwords though I've only used it for DDL and not security objects.
