Can SQL Server or db2 do entire database exports like oracle (using exp command)?
I've searched the internets and found bcp for SQL Server. But it seems I would have to iterate over all the tables to get what I want.
For db2 it looks to be roughly the same. Is there somet开发者_运维技巧hing I'm missing? Anyone have any suggestions and/or any opinions? Thanks ahead of time.
This is for SQL SERVER
Backup & Restore
To take an entire database with SQL Server, you can do a BACKUP
and RESTORE

Export and Import
You can right click a database in SQL Server Management Studio, and under TASKS, click on EXPORT DATA. Follow the Wizard to choose the objects you want to export and put them into the appropriate location.
Custom SSIS for Raw format
Build a SSIS package that will read data from source table and put it into a RAW file on disk for later use. Raw files holds the structure of the table and the data.
DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows has a utility called db2move, which generates the DDL to rebuild the database from scratch, and iterates through all the tables to dump their contents to flatfiles via the EXPORT command.
