sql server new users: Hi,

I have a full database backup on database A (SQL Server 2000). Now I want
to restore only the tables from database A to database B rather than

Why don't you use DTS to move them over?
You want all the tables? So what's the problem with restoring the
backup and dropping all procs and UDF's

I agree with SQL on this one. If the backup is mounted you can simply use
dts to copy the tables. If you just have the backup file then do a restore,
but make sure you change the restore options and name the database something
different (like 'backup'). Then use DTS to copy the tables from the backup
database to the production database.
