SQL Server 2005 Generated Create Table Script not working

Question

I\'m in the process of creating database scripts for an existing database. I\'m trying to use SQL Server to generate the scripts for me, but the generated scripts are faili

Answer 1

I've got the same error. SQL Sever Management Studio defaults to generate scripts for SQL Server 2005, which are not compatible with 2000.

My solution: In SQL Sever Management Studio, go to Tools>>Options>>Scripting. Under "General Scripting Options, set "Script for server version" to "SQL Server 2000".
