The best is of course to keep all definitions of SQL Server objects
under version control, and build the database from the version control
system.
The simplest way to duplicate a database is to simply take a backup of
it and restore it on the target server.
You can also use the Copy Database Wizard, which gives you two choices:
attach/detach and the SMO method. The SMO method scripts everything, but
this method is unreliable. I have filed several bugs with it. You get to
the Copy Database Wizard by right-clicking the database in Object Explorer
and select Tasks->Copy Database.
