Author q: generate insert and update

Hello,
I have too many columns in my table and I am looking for a way to generate
insert and update statements automated. I tried SqlDataAdapter, it fails. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.

Something like that:
Creating an autocontained SELECT in order to generate a DML instructions
intended
SELECT 'insert into tabletest(a,b)
values (' + convert(varchar(10),
a) + ',
' + convert(varchar(160)
,b) + ' )'
FROM
tabletest

Hi Eric,
Thank you very much for your reply. I am just trying to generate my insert
and update statements instead of typing all the filed names manually, is this
possible?

You probably could have typed all the field names twice over with the
time and effort you put into creating that post.... Is it just me, or
are people getting really lazy?

Hi Jim,

If you're writing queries in Query Analyzer, you can open the Object
Explorer (hit the F8 key), then use drag and drop to paste a complete
column list in the query you're writing.
