I want to take data base back up, so is there any sql script to take that, like how we use the sql script to get table content as "SELECT * FROM tblname" ,
Thanks in advance

Looks like hes talking about SQL Server 2008.
To do a full database backup to File/Query you can use the 'Generate Scripts...' option on the Database.
Open SQL Server Management studio, right click on the database and choose 'Tasks->Generate Scripts...'
Then use the wizard to backup the database. You can script the whole database or parts of it. Two important options: In the 'Advanced' section, you will probably want to ensure 'Type of backup = 'Schema and Data' and the 'Script Statistics' is on.
This will produce a *.sql file that you can use as a backup.
What Database?
May be missing what's being asked here but have you looked at each database's backup utility for example mysqldump?
mysqldump
Try DBSourceTools.

It is specifically designed to script all database objects and data to disk.
You can then place these files under source-code control to effectively take a "snapshot" of the database.
All you need to do then is to define a deployment target database, and DBSourceTools will re-create the target database from source.
It also has a table Data View from which you can generate insert scripts.
