I have a database which contains details about user information.The database contains 20 tables with users specific details.Every table contains user foreign key. I want to be able to backup specific user data from the database and restore the backup. Is it possible to restore the backup on a different database that has same tables. I am working on this but not able to find a documentation or article on this. If you could help me on this if doing this is possible. Thank you in advance

                    I don't have a specific answer for your query but this thread might be helpful for you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6267273/how-to-restore-to-a-different-database-in-sql-server – Jason Clark Jun 14 '16 at 05:46

                    First pick a db platform. You have 3 tags above. – Drew Jun 14 '16 at 21:02

        You need to write some SQL to export the data. You can use a number of techniques for example: Gather data using views, stored procedures or a combination of both. Export data using linked servers, import export or SSIS.
There is no backup and restore functionality for a subset if data.
(p.s. This is for SQL Server. You have three different database engines in your tags.)
