1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------

Softinabox Script Engine for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a
powerful tool that enables you to document any existing
database structure and/or data by generating one SQL script.

SQL scripts contain descriptions of the statements used to
create a database, its objects and its data. You can generate
a script from the objects in an existing, and then add these
objects to another database by running it against that
database. The schema of the following objects can be
generated and saved as a script: tables, 	indexes, views,
stored procedures, defaults, rules, keys, constraints,
full-text indexes, user-defined data types, triggers, users,
groups, roles, logins, and object-level permissions.

This allows you, for example, to maintain a backup script to
recreate database objects, create or update database
development code, or create a test environment from an
existing schema.

Script Engine provides these features in an easy to use MDI
environment to create and edit script command files and SQL
scripts.
