Make backup and send it to this person together with BAT file
containing proper gbak call to restore. If you don't want to send
data, make metadata-only backup.

Don't understand clearly. You have debugged script which bring
target database structure to source one? Send it together with BAT
file containing proper isql call. Or you are interested how to build
this script if you don't remember what changes you did? If so, always
have structure of client's database at hand and look at
