How do I restore a single table from a SQL Server 2005 backup?

Question

I\'ve got a backup made using the regular SQL Server 2005 backup command. Is there a way to restore just a single table, not the whole DB?

Answer 1

This is not natively supported in SSMS but it’s possible using third party tools.

Apart from Red Gate (great tools btw) you can try SQL Diff (restore object) and SQL Data Diff (restore data) from ApexSQL.

Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with ApexSQL but we are their customers and use their tools
