I can create new companies all day. I can also copy production company db to a test company. Heck, I can even create brand new instances on new sql servers.
I just want to copy the structure of the production db to a new test db without any records. Our developers and qa will have unrestricted access to the data as a necessity in this test domain. Per gov't regulations, company policies, and just common sense, there is data that they should not be able to see (salaries, customer info, financials, etc, etc...)
So, is there a tool or process that can do this? Is there a matrix of tables with data to delete from the production copy or to import from prod into a company db? Is there a script to scramble/cleanse this data?
I am aware of the clear data function, but I do not know what to clear and what not to clear in order to achieve the objective.
We are sql 2008 x64 gp 10.0
Any insight would be appreciated.
