Hi There are several ways to do this below are two options: Option 1 - Right click on the database you want to copy Choose 'Tasks' > 'Generate scripts' 'Select specific database objects' Check 'Tables' Mark 'Save to new query window' Click 'Advanced' Set 'Types of data to script' to 'Schema and data' Next Next You can now run the generated query on the new database. Option 2 Right click on the database you want to copy 'Tasks' > 'Export Data' Next Next Choose the database to copy the tables to Mark 'Copy data from one or more tables or views' Choose the tables you want to copy Finish Reference : http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/664327/Copy-Table-Schema-and-Data-From-One-Database-to-An
