How to create a quick table back-up ( and avoid banging your head against the wall! )

Long Description:
How many times have you messed up a table and wished you could restore it exactly as it was some 5 minutes ago?
This script is a quick way to create a backup of a Dynamics table so you'll have added peace of mind knowing that if you screw up a table, you can always go back to the previous version.

I recommend that you use this technique all the time whenever you run a an update query against a table where mistakes could cost you some nights of sleep doing data recovery from tapes (ah those pesky tapes), or even your job!

IMPORTANT:
Commands with UPDATE, DELETE or DROP can ruin your data! Please use these queries with caution. We highly recommend that you backup your database before trying out these commands and to load them up first on a test server. Use at your own risk.

Associated SQL Command:
select * into RM00101_BACKUP from RM00101 -- The above script will backup the customer table RM00101. If you want to backup a different table just change RM00101. If you wish to see all the tables, just go to Tools > Resource Descriptions > tables menu.
