Create database SnapShots with our own file formats

Question

Hi All,

We want to create a C#/VC++ application using which we should be able to create SQL Server database SNAPSHOTs in our own file format (in an online manner).

And later we should be able to get data from those snapshot files in an offline manner using our application (i.e., we should be able to get number/names of tables/columns...etc.).

Does anybody know how to do that?

Thanks.

What I do is to enumerate all tables in the database and then generate a "SELECT * FROM" for each of these tables.

You can then serialize these tables to XML as I described in this posting [^].
