Generate script in SQL Server Management Studio

If I have a table with data in a database in SQL Server, how can I generate a script that will create the table and add the data too?

If I right click on the table then select Script Table As > Create to > File, that generates a script to just create the table without the data. What I need is a script that creates the table and adds the data that is already existing in the table or 2 separate scripts, one that creates the table and one that adds the data.

Be aware that generating scripts (schema and data) does not export duplicate ROWS

Do a test (only need 2 columns and half a dozen rows) - I wondered what was happening - in the end it turned out to be a good thing in this instance

Here what you have to do:

  1. right click the database (not the table) and select tasks --> generate scripts
  2. Next --> select the requested table/tables (from select specific database objects)
  3. next --> click advanced --> types of data to script = schema and data
  4. next and finish
