    There are many tools available for this, both commercial and non-comercial. The one we use over here at my work is made by a company called RedGate. It allows you to compare database structures and copy those, aswell as the data contained in the database.
    Ofcourse this tool was specificly written for MS SQL 2000 ( and a different version also for 2005 ), so this one might not work well for you.
    Try googling.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.

    Was just gonna mention them. RedGate does make some wonderful tools - some a tad expensive , but the Compare products are huge timer savers for anybody working with database development.

    Depending on how you value your time....

    I find them quite inexpensive...

    I found "SQL Delta" and "D-Softs DBC" are good tools for compare.
