Hi,
The tool is called "SQL Server"
Seriously. Restore your database, then script it using Enterprise Manager
or Query Analyzer.

You can restore a SQL Backup to SQL Server using the RESTORE DATABASE
command. Once you've done that you can script the database schema as a
SQL script using the Generate Script feature of SQL 2000 Enterprise
Manager or SQL 2005 Management Studio. (I assume SQL scripts are what
you mean when you say you want a .SQL file?)
Scripting the data itself may be harder depending on how much and how
complex it is. Two possible solutions:

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
