Generate insert script for selected records?

If you are using the SQL Management Studio, you can right click your DB name and select
Tasks > Import/Export data and follow the wizard.

one of the steps is called "Specify Table Copy or Query" where there is an option to write a query to specify the data to transfer, so you can simply specify the following query:

select * from [Table] where Fk_CompanyId = 1

Converting Select results into Insert script - SQL Server

SSMS Toolpack (which is FREE as in beer) has a variety of great features - including generating INSERT statements from tables.

Update: for SQL Server Management Studio 2012 (and newer), SSMS Toolpack is no longer free, but requires a modest licensing fee.

What is the best way to auto-generate INSERT statements for a SQL Server table?

Microsoft should advertise this functionality of SSMS 2008. The feature you are looking for is built into the Generate Script utility, but the functionality is turned off by default and must be enabled when scripting a table.

This is a quick run through to generate the INSERT statements for all of the data in your table, using no scripts or add-ins to SQL Management Studio 2008:

1. Right-click on the database and go to Tasks > Generate Scripts.
2. Select the tables (or objects) that you want to generate the script against.
3. Go to Set scripting options tab and click on the Advanced button.
4. In the General category, go to Type of data to script
5. There are 3 options: Schema Only, Data Only, and Schema and Data. Select the appropriate option and click on OK.
   

You will then get the CREATE TABLE statement and all of the INSERT statements for the data straight out of SSMS.

How can I generate an INSERT script for an existing SQL Server table that includes all stored rows?

Yes, but you'll need to run it at the database level.

Right-click the database in SSMS, select "Tasks", "Generate Scripts...". As you work through, you'll get to a "Scripting Options" section. Click on "Advanced", and in the list that pops up, where it says "Types of data to script", you've got the option to select Data and/or Schema.
