  Hi,

  I've made edits to the description tag within a number of pages on my site.

  Under normal circumstances to deploy changes with our development sitefinity database I would copy the entire SF database to the live servers.

  In this case it would be very handy to write a script which would copy only the description fields. Is this a simple thing to do? What tables are involved?

  
  

  Kind Regards

  
  

  Simon.

  Hello Simon Begg,
  
  You can just restore a backup of your database to the production or to the development project. This will not require writing any scripts. The description of each page is stored in [sf_CmsPageContent] so you can execute Select/Update query.

  Yeah, your best best would be to write a script to dump out your CmsPageContent records and then another script to reimport that data on the other database.
  
  Normally I would caution against this as what you're effectively doing is circumventing the workflow and versioning features, but I'm not sure if setting page properties makes use of these features.
  
  Regards,
