Scripting Jobs Using Transact-SQL

You can generate Transact-SQL scripts to create the jobs that you have defined. With job scripting, you can:

• Control versions of job creation source code.
  
  
• Migrate jobs from test into production.
  
  
• Script alerts and operators.

It is also possible to create a script on a computer running an instance of Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 that can be run on a computer running an instance of SQL Server version 7.0. If you choose to create a SQL Server 7.0 compatible script, certain SQL Server 2000 features are ignored, such as:

• Column level collation.
  
  
• User-defined functions, extended properties.
  
  
• INSTEAD OF triggers on tables and views.
  
  
• Indexes on views (indexed views).
  
  
• Indexes on computed columns.
  
  
• Descending indexes.
  
  
• Reference permissions on views.

  This option is only available on an instance of SQL Server 2000.
