How to import data into development database from productions database

I have two different setup, one for development and other for production.
Two different SQL server 2000 installed on two different Windows 2000
server. I want to import all data of selected tables from production server
to development server. Databases name on both seerver are different. Before
I import, I want to remove all information from selected tables from
development database. Can anyone suggest me TSQL code?
Thanks.
You might want to script the tables out en masse and build them that way,
rather than "import" anything (since you're not really importing any data).

Backup restore works, but sometime I just want to few tables and not all
tables from production data. what I would like to do is store all tables
name in array and for each array element first delete all records from table
(name in array) of development server and copy all records from production
server. Any idea? or any better solution?
Thanks.

SQL server is new to me, do you have any suggestion where to start?
