Overview
SC-Scripter Overview

SC-Scripter is a fast and easy SQL Server management assistant that can increase developer and database administrator productivity.  It will generate Transact-SQL scripts for entire databases or individual objects.  This program can be a valuable tool in moving, restoring and examining databases.

This new version now includes support for Sybase's System 10.

SC-Scripter is distributed as Shareware.  This means that users are encouraged, subject to restrictions described in the License Agreement, to share copies of this program with friends, associates and bulletin boards.  Please remember that if you use this software you are required to pay the registration fee of $39 as described this help file and in files LICENSE.TXT and ORDER.TXT.

This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you.  If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.  The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products.  Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
