Hi, I've got a starter kit working ok, as an absolute beginner and keen to learncould someone explain to me what takes place when I use the"Attach Data File" utility in the control panel. Reason for asking is if this utility isn't available on a different ISP's system, what would I need to do the accomplish the same result this utility automatically provides. Many thanks in advance for any assistance provided. Mark.
well. basically, the happens behind the scene - We take your mdf file (SQL database data file) and move it to the SQL server - Run the attach command. - Execute some statement to make sure the attached database is properly configured to work on our server. Review this article I found on the web, http://www.databasedesign-resource.com/moving-the-database.html. The attach process is pretty much an automated way to do this.
