Copying DB in express
Hello! I’m a newbie. If this is not for me, please tell me and I will quietly disappear…If not, please consider helping me. I need to make an "independent" copy of a database in MS SQL server Express Edition. Independent in the sense that it looks as, behaves as and IS a totally other database (identical in every way except for the name). In the full version this can be done in tasks/copy, but that feature seems to be missing in express. If I have to do this by writing script I would need full guidance from beginning to end. I will probably not know the meaning of half of the words you will be using and so I have to keep asking ’til I get it. Anyone feeling up to it? Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated. Kungen
