On the surface, i know this file is huge and it sounds like i'm out of hdd space. I have over 193gb available. Now here's my question. I have a .sql file that's 65gb in size. I generated it by right clicking the database and generating scripts. I included the schema and data as well.
I want to run this script so I can have a good copy of the database on my local sql server. I try to open the file in sql server management studio 2012 and i get the following error.
I cant backup the database and restore it (the preferred method) so I googled this error but I got results about everything but my issue. What do i need to change in order to open and run this ginormous file. Thanks
