Trouble Scripting large table
Hello All,
I have a remote SQL server (SQL Server 2000) which has a table that has nearly 60,000 records. I am able to script this table but cannot execute it locally, so as to replicate the table for local development.
I am using SQL server2008R2 Express. Thinking it was the Express version which was limiting me, I tried the same thing on a proper SQL server 2008, but still I get error when executing the script.
The script is 147MB but compresses down to 2mb when zipped.
On My Local SQL the error is “No able to execute the script” ‘system.OutOfMemeryExcepti
For years I could script this table with no issues.
I have attached a script to create the table only, so as to allow you to see the structure.
Thanks in advance.

How do you actually import the table to SQL 2008? Are you using a wizard, some ETL, you scripted the structure and data?
The script you attached, which contains only the structure, worked fine on my SQL2008 version. I assume you have issues with the data.

I am using SSMS : Tasks > Generate script.
When I include data it will net let me execute the script. However, it did until recently.
The script, with the data is 147MB, but zips to 2mb!
Any ideas.

I have sent you the script with the data. Its not particularly sensitive data but probably best not to post it here for all to see.

If you have the Managemet Studio I suggest you to create the table on the SQL2008EX first and then expand the server node > right click on the database > Tasks > Import Data > folow the wizard but when you are at mapping part make sure you click on Edit Mappings and you have checked the "Enable Identity Insert" option.
