MS SQL 2008 - Create a copy of the database without the data

Question

In MS SQL Server 2008 R2, how do I create a new database based on the schema of the old one, but without copying any of the data along with it? I am using SQL Server management

In SQL Server Management Studio, you can menu-click on an object and select...

"Script [Object] As" ... "CREATE to"... "New Query Window"

If you want to do the whole lot, menu-click on the database, and select

"Tasks" ... "Generate Scripts" and follow the wizard, as per this article:
