How to export all data from a specific database in SQL Server

To export all data from a library, you can follow these steps:

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
2. Connect to the SQL Server instance from which you want to export data.
3. Expand the “Databases” node in the Object Explorer, then locate the database you want to export.
4. Right-click on the database, choose “Tasks” -> “Export Data”.
5. On the first page of the export wizard, select the data source as the database you want to export. Then, click “Next”.
6. On the second page, select the target data source for the file format you want to export (such as Microsoft Excel, CSV, etc.). Then, click “Next.”
7. On the third page, select the table or view to be exported. If you want to export all objects in the entire database, you can choose “Copy all tables and views”. Next, click “Next”.
8. On the fourth page, choose the location and file name to save the exported file. Then, click “Next”.
9. On the fifth page, select the export options you want to use. You can choose whether to include column names, export indexes, and constraints, etc. Then, click “Next”.
10. On the sixth page, you can preview and confirm the export settings. Then, click on “Next”.
11. On the last page, you can choose whether to save the exported settings as an SSIS package for future reuse. Then click “Finish” to start exporting the data.

The export process may take some time, depending on the size and complexity of the database. Once complete, you will receive a file containing the exported data.
