Hi,

I am using Shared Database Schema. It maintains Company data and its branches.
For Example - Company A is main company and its branches are in different states of India. Similarly I have Company B with its branches in other states of India. All data is in shared database.

Issue -
If Company admin of Company A asks me for his company's data (including its branches), how I can provide him?
Is there any tool to filter in database in SQL Server 2008 and extract all data of Company A and export them?

Please help me!

Thank you,
Sneha

Don't know if I understood your question correctly, but sounds like you're talking about WHERE clause of a SELECT statement. See: WHERE (Transact-SQL)[^]

Update based on the comment:

I suggest that you slice this to smaller pieces.

First to get the data from the database, you proper select statement. Based on your description it could be something like:

SQL

select * -- or whatever you want to select
from company c
     branch b
     transation t
where b.companyid = c.companyid
and   t.branchid = c.branchid
and   c.companyid = @companyid

In the previous @companyid is a variable containing proper value.

The next step is the format. If you're required to deliver the results, what's the format to be used? If you're running this query in SSMS by yourself, you can export the data in csv or txt by right clicking on the result grig and selecting Save results. You can also run the results into XML. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173812.aspx[^] so you can create a small stored procedure which would run the query and possibly format the results.

Third question, how the results should be delivered? If via mail, then you can use for example http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190307.aspx[^]
