Selected tables restore from .bak file

  • Hi All

    My strange requirement is I want to restore selected tables from my .bak file to existing database (SQL-Server 2005)

    My concerns :-

    Is it possible to just restore the tables I specify from a .bak file?

    If so

    a)Some tables have no foreign key relationships but some do.

    b)1 of the table has lots of indexes and lots of data

    Cheers

  • Unfortunately the only way to backup a single table from a backup is if you had it put on a separate filegroup and restore that

  • sqlcool,

    It is not possible.

    The work around is restore the backup with different db name. Do BCP / DTS to recover data to original table.
