But please do check, double-check, and triple-check the script before
executing it on a live server. There have historically been some serious
flaws in the scripted code used, that might result in losing all your
data if you are unlucky. Maybe things have changed since the last time I
looked, but I'd never run a script generated by Enterprise Manager or
SQL Server Management Studio without prior minute inspection!
