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 get this exact same problem when i use SQL Server Management Studio 2005 to generate a Create Table script on a SQL Server 2000 database.

Answer 2

If your target DB is SQL 2000 then it complains about this line

WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON, FILLFACTOR = 90) ON [PRIMARY]

SQL 2000 only supports

WITH FILLFACTOR = 90

So there is probably some compatibility setting you can use to only generate SQL 2000 syntax

Answer 3

If you are running this on a SQL Server 2000 database I believe it has code in it that SQL Server 2000 does not support. I've never seen a SQL SErver 2000 script that sets up the constraint as part of the table definition.

Answer 4

With the exception of the use [MyDatabase] statement (I changed it to tempdb), this statement executes correctly when I run it against SQL Server 2005 using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

Answer 5

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".

Answer 6

I copied/pasted this exact SQL statement and it executed properly for me. The only thing I can think is that you have something highlighted and it is executing only that portion of it (which may not be a complete statement).
